The Earl’s Match (The Thompsons of Locust Street Series) by Holly Bush – Review by Kerry Carr

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

This is the 5th book in The Thompson’s of Locust Street. I didn’t realise that this was the final book in the series butbit can be read as a standalone. This is a historical romance and I loved the authors writing and how I was transported back into that era.
I also love how the author portrayed Payden, by showing his struggles and torments because of the things he witness and had to do.

Payden is the youngest member in the Thompson family. When his family is threatened by an enemy in his rightful home of Scotland he knows he needs to end this man before he ends up harming his family.
So with his cousin Robbie they set off to rid their people of this evil man.
They are successful and Payden takes his title of Earl but it’s not all celebration. Payden is left with scars both physically, mentally and emotionally that he fears he will never recover from.

When he meets Clarice they don’t hit it off right away but there is something about her that slowly starts to breathe life into Payden and makes him feel like living again.
When Clarice meets Payden she sees a very serious and sad man in front of her. She can tell he hides pain and wants to find out what it is and hope to help him heal.
Can she be the balm to ease the pain in Payden’s soul?
Things won’t be easy for them and there are obstacles to challenge them but can they be strong enough to push through them and allow love to win?
I really enjoyed this beautiful story and I will definitely be going back and reading the previous books in the series.
