The Earl’s Match (The Thompsons of Locust Street Series Book #5) by Holly Bush – Review by Angela Hayes

The Earl’s Match by Holly Bush
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 Stars

The Earl’s Match is the fifth and final book in The Thompsons of Locust Street series by Holly Bush. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Bush, so I really didn’t know what to expect going from one of her stories- but as I do love a great historical romance, I took a chance and dove right in. Going into this, I also didn’t realise that it was the fifth and final book in the series, so I will need to go back and read the rest of the series now. Thankfully, this can be read as a standalone, and I didn’t feel like I was ‘missing’ anything. This series follow the Thompson siblings, as each gets their own book and HEA.
Paydon Thompson has endured much and after a dangerous and traumatic ‘mission’, he has returned a broken man. But he might just find his match in Clarice Endicott, as she breathes ‘life’ into his world- and so begins the healing power of love. Things aren’t quite that simple though, and these two definitely have a few obstacles to overcome on their path to happiness.
This has plenty of angst, drama, emotion, adventure, darker elements, family dynamics, tragedy, pain, trauma, violence, and more.
The series (so far):
-The Bachelor’s Bride (Book #1 — Elspeth Thompson and Alexander Pendergast’s story)
-The Bareknuckle Groom (Book #2 — James Thompson and Lucinda Vermeal’s story)
-The Professor’s Lady (Book #3 — Kirsty Thompson and Albert Watson’s story)
-The Captain’s Woman (Book #4 — Muireall Thompson and Anthony Marcus’s story)
-The Earl’s Match (Book #5 — Payden Thompson and Clarice Endicott’s story)
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Holly Bush!
