The Earl’s Match (The Thompsons of Locust Street Series) by Holly Bush – Review by Jennifer Montanez
The Earl’s Match by Holly Bush
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This historical romance is part of a series but can be read as a standalone, but once you read this you’ll find yourself wanting to read the other books in the series so that you can learn more about these wonderful characters.
In The Earl’s Match we follow Payden Thompson and his struggle to find purpose and meaning in his life after returning from Scotland where he was on a deadly and dangerous mission to save his family. Payden has returned broken and haunted by the things he’s seen and done. He’s built up a wall to help keep him and everyone around him alive. But how will he move forward now that his family is safe? As Payden is navigating this new life he meets Clarice, a headstrong, beautiful lady who will not settle for the average men that are constantly being paraded around in their sophisticated social circle. Clarice does not initially like Payden due to his hard exterior and lack of manners and decorum, but there is something there, more than his good looks, that keeps him on her mind. This book will keep you entertained and wanting to get to the bottom of the dark past that Payden is hiding. Through his flashbacks we get to see what makes him tick and maybe Clarice will help chip that hard exterior away.
