Earl of Darby (Wicked Earls’ Club) (Once Upon A Widow Book 4) by Aubrey Wynne. This entire series has been stealing bit of my heart since book one and yet again I find a piece missing! I’ve been really enjoying all these stories and this one was no different in that regard. Once again this author completely hooked me from page one. This author and series has really opened my eyes for historical romance, you see I wasn’t much of a fan but that’s definitely changing now. The characters from start to finish completely drew me into their world and I couldn’t stop reading. Each character brings something unique to the storyline, everyone being complex and relatable. The storyline is well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking. Each character has a story to be told you won’t want to miss. I’m excited to see where the author takes readers next. Five stars and highly recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Earl of Darby is the fourth book in Aubrey Wynne’s Once Upon A Widow series. It’s a historical romance with a bit of tragedy and mystery thrown in. The eponymous hero, Nicholas the Earl of Darby, is haunted by his fateful marriage that ended with his wife’s death on their wedding night. He is seeking revenge, struggling to trust any women after being lied to by his mother, and is generally a bit of a mess.
Hannah is more than a match for Nicholas and, when she is in danger of meeting a similar fate to his wife, his protective instincts kick in. With Hannah’s friendship with Nicholas’ young sister, Mattie, she is more than just a love interest and her character is developed and interesting.
Although part of a series, this book can work as a standalone. The series follows different characters in each book, with the characters then appearing as side characters in each other’s books. But if you enjoy this, you’ll love the others so you might as well read them! This one’s kind of a Christmas story but you could get away with reading it at other times of the year.
For me, this is a four star book. I’d recommend it to fans of regency stories, with a warning that it does feature rape and suicide.

i love a good regency novel and I indulge in them from time to time. Aubrey Wynne has hooked me with her writing and I can’t get enough! I was shocked with the beginning with this story but completely fell in love by the end! This story had so much heart and pain mixed in between but the journey and ending were so incredibly beautiful! This was such incredible story that just lifts your spirits and makes you want to consume all of Aubrey Wynne’s books!

Earl of Darby by (Wicked Earls’ Club) by Aubrey Wynne is the fourth book in the Once Upon A Widow series. This book can be read as a standalone.
Aubrey Wynne is one of those authors that always knows how to create a great story and this is just another one to add to that list. It was quite a quick read but was easy to get lost in. Nicholas and Hannah were very likeable characters that you could not help but get behind.
The story was well developed and moved along with an easy pace. If you like historical fiction then this is a book for you. And for any fan of this author it is a book worth the read.

5-Stars

Earl of Darby (Wicked Earls’ Club) (Once Upon A Widow Book 4) by Aubrey Wynne takes readers to another time and place. This is part of an on going series but can be read as a standalone. This book starts out with a very sad experience for main character Nick Darby with the death of his first wife. It left him with a sense of revenge and changed his character and led to an interesting plot to occur in the main story. I loved his wit and humor though. Hannah who is originally introduced in one of the easier books is smart and graceful. She is sweet and kind. Her story begins in preparation of coming out to society. Darby and Hannah’s paths cross and Romance happens. It was a beautiful and light story. It was an easy read a d very enjoyable. I highly recommend it.

Even though this says book 4 you do not have to read the first three in order. You really should read the other books but the order isn’t necessary.

Wynne is a fantastic writer of historical romance. I love it! The Earl of Darby is full of fun surprises causing you to want to read without stopping, which makes this a quick and easy read.

Gowns, carriages, and social events abound in this historical romance. Nicholas has a haunted past he is trying to avenge. Hannah has marriage in mind. These two characters did not see the other coming their way. This story gives “fate” the spotlight, making this story funny as well as sweet and adventurous.

Recommend this story.

The Earl of Darby (Wicked Earl’s Club) (Wicked Earl’s Christmas) is the fourth book in the Once Upon a Widow Series by Aubrey Wynne. I am really loving this historical romance series- they just seem to get better and better with each new release. There is plenty of drama, action, a little danger, some humorous moments, suspense, second chances, secrets, lies, intrigue, historical detail, passion, a little mystery, and of course- a wonderful romance.
Ms. Wynne proves herself to be an incredibly good storyteller- painting vivid imagery full of wonderful attention to detail. She brings her stories to life, giving her reader a very immersive experience. There was quite a lot going on in this book- but it was all superbly orchestrated into a smooth, captivating, and very enjoyable read.
Like with all her books, the characters are really well crafted- becoming ‘real’ individuals. This gives the whole story an extra level of believability. They were so easy to like, or detest (as in the case of a certain character)- again proving Ms. Wynne’s writing talents. Being able to get a reader to invest in some characters, while detesting others- is no easy task. But Ms. Wynne manages this, easily.
So, if you love regency romance, historical detail, wonderful characters, and a story that will pull you in and engage you from beginning to end- then this is definitely the book for you!
One of my favourites, for sure!

Thank you, Ms. Wynne!

Earl of Darby by Aubrey Wynne’s is the fourth book in Once Upon A Widow series or twenty first book in Wicked Earls’ Club series AND it is a Christmas story! I have read Aubrey’s work before so I knew that it should be good but in no universe did I imagine that her historical Christmas story would start with a suicide AND she pulled it off!
We have Earl of Darby and he has not celebrated Christmas for the last five years, since his wife committed suicide on their wedding night that was Christmas Eve! As you can imagine he has lost all trust in anyone female so the only interaction he has with them is when they are his mistresses … and then we have Hannah who is in her first season and she is a lovely young miss and she befriends earl’s shy young sister after Hannah’s brother introduces Hannah to his best friend, the earl.
The earl is supposed to keep an eye on Hannah and his own sister and of course he doesn’t think much of it until Hannah starts working her magic on him and everything changes … the road from revenge to new love is not an easy one and I admire how the writer spins the story. I welcome you into the world of Regency romance filled with holiday traditions … what bliss!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Earl of Darby was a great 5 star read and book 4 in the Once Upon A Widow series.

We start out with a heartbreaking tragedy that left Nicholas reeling with all that was revealed. This tragedy has made a big impact on him and the fact he doesn’t celebrate christmas. He has built up walls and has avoided women as well.

Hannah is getting ready for her first season. She has her sights set on one specific man, Gideon, however when she finds out he has eyes on someone else she is devastated. When her brother has to go home to be with his wife, he leaves her in the care of his best friend, Nicholas. When Hannah meets Nicholas she is instantly drawn to him.

When Hannah catches the eye of someone very dangerous, things take a scary twist.. Can Nicholas keep Hannah safe? Will they give into their attraction?

Overall I really enjoyed this read, I liked watching these two slowly come together. I really liked Nicholas and I wanted to see him happy again, Hannah was perfect for him. My emotions were all over the place. This was a Christmas love story with a twist and I loved it. This is a must read series and I look forward to reading more from this author.

Wynne hits it out of the park with this one. I LOVE historical romance. When you throw in a rogue and an innocent and sprinkle it with Regency… I’m done for. And this book certainly lived up to all of my expectations. A classic storyline that doesn’t feel trite or over-told, I found it simply wonderful, rich with imagery and emotion. Loved every page and look forward to reading it again very soon!

Earl of Darby is the fourth book in the Once Upon a Widow Book series by Aubrey Wynne. Aubrey Wynne does an amazing job writing historical romance stories. I find her attention to detail amazing. While reading this book, I feel like I have been transported to the time period in which the story is based. Her characters are complex and relatable. In this story, Miss Hannah Pendleton finds herself with a broken heart. That is when the Earl of Darby notices her, but there is a problem, Hannah is being courted by (in the words of the author) the Devil himself. What will Hannah chose the Devil or the Earl of Darby? You will have to read the story to get the answers of this and many more decisions made by Hannah , the Devil, and the Earl of Darby.

They are great characters, I highly recommend their story.

The story Earl of Darby (Wicked Earls’ Club) (Once Upon A Widow Book 4) by Aubrey Wynne is a historical romance. It is a wonderful story to read and I found myself not wanting to put it down until I had finished it. I loved reading about the characters of Miss Hannah Pendleton and Nicholas, the Earl of Darby. Hannah is a young woman who is scheduled for her first season. She is learning that the one she has had a crush on has fallen for another. Hannah feels the attraction when she meets Nicholas. Nicholas is a man who is not seeking out anyone to marry. A tragedy has affected every part of his life. He is surprised when he feels an attraction to Hannah. Will Hannah and Nicholas act on their feelings for each other? There is another who has noticed Hannah as well. Will Nicholas be the one that Hannah chooses? What does the future hold for Hannah and Nicholas? Read this book to find out. I enjoy reading historical romances and this story is an example of the reason why. I love reading about romance, masquerade balls, parties, and the attention that is lavished on the young woman by the men in attendance. The story has some heartbreaking moments however I found that there were more times that were heartwarming and I had a smile on my face. Don’t miss out on Miss Hannah Pendleton’s first season.

By: Aubrey Wynne
My Rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Wicked Earl’s Widow by Aubrey Wynne was an okay read, that for me, fell a little shot, but saved itself at the end.

Not my first read from this author, so I was looking forward to reading this novella. From this author’s persvoice works, that I quite enjoyed, this short story was a mixed feels read for me.

So let’s get into it shall we.

This book starts out nice, smooth and entertaining. As the story moves forward and we get more into that world and the plot, things start to take a weird turn when the love interest shows up. Normally at this point, the romance portion of the plot kicks in, and we get all the melty feels, and the heat. But, that wasn’t the case, it felt flat and for me, never formed a realistic connection. For a book that’s presented as romance heavy, and to not deliver, was a let down, and a bit disappointing.

Now not all was lost, as the ending was a little bit of a shocker, and I’m glad the author went there. That took guts and it saved this read for me. Outside of the ending, I did like the side plots and the side characters. It created a nice balance that helped with the lacking romance.

Overall the story was good, it had promising elements, and it did keep my attention. I just wish the romance was just as strong, because it would have rounded out this story into something magical. But just remember that what I have problems with, you might not, so please take my recommendation and my approval that you will find something to love about this historical fiction.

Happy Reading

A Wicked Earl’s Widow (Once Upon a Widow Series Book 2) by Aubrey Wynne is a historical romance story. It is told in multiple POV’s which I love as it gives you a much better understanding of who the characters are, where they come from and what made them who they are and what they are thinking. This drama filled story will keep you entertained and on your toes. There is secrets and lies, danger and intrigue, mystery and humour. The characters are all well developed and enjoyable and absolutely wonderful.
Eliza lost her husband but is still being tortured by her past and by the evil man who raised her. When her daughter and herself, are threatened she is forced to flee for their safety. Along the way she encounters an old woman that is being attacked and decides to help, which leads her to find refuge in the Pendleton estate. But unfortunately danger finds her and she is once again face to face with the viciousness and evil from her past.
If you like historical romances, with a bit of thrill to them then this is a book for you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Wicked Earl’s Widow by Aubrey Wynne is the second book in her Once Upon a Widow series. It follows Eliza, the widow of the Earl of Sunderland. Since her husband’s death, she has been inundated with orders from her abusive father to remarry. She must decide what is best to do, for her own interests and those of her daughter Althea who she wishes to protect from her father and potential husband.
It’s an exciting story, as we are constantly concerned for Eliza and Althea’s safety. We see Eliza battling with the consequences of a lifetime of cruel treatment, and it is in a moment of unrestrained anger that she first encounters Nate. The positive relationship they have – his protectiveness and caring – is wonderful to read.
Although part of a series, this book works fine as a stand-alone. A vibrant regency romance, it pays homage to Gothic tropes but very much has the feel of a modern historical novel. Althea, for example, is a very vocal child and frequently caught up in the story’s action.
For me, this is a four star read. I’d recommend it to fans of historical romance who like stories with a bit of action and suspense.

A Wicked Earl’s Widow by Aubrey Wynne was a great 5 star read and is book 2 in the Once Upon A Widow series.

Eliza was raised by a very abusive father who used her to make money. When she married her husband she wasn’t sure what to expect but was surprised at how kind he was to her. He ends up dying in a riding accident while she was pregnant. She is now being threatened by her father and she fears for her and her daughters lives.

Eliza ends up fleeing to a cousins home, while on the journey there she ends up helping an old woman against an attack. This is where she also meets Nathaniel who is impressed with her actions.Nathaniel was drawn to Eliza and he brought her to his estate.

Eliza was a very strong woman, we get some LOL moments, action, suspense and so much more in this historical romance. I was pulled right in and didn’t want to stop reading until I was done. All of the characters added a great element to the story. Overall I really enjoyed Eliza’s story. This can be read as a stand alone. If you like historical romance you will love this book.

The Wicked Earl’s Widow, by Aubrey Wynne, is that second book in the Once Upon a Widow series. This historical romance was a dramatic read set to the Victorian era. These type of novels were my first reads into the romance realm and they still hold a place in my heart when it comes to this genre. Aubrey Wynne is a talented author and creates fabulous characters that stand apart and shine within their story. In this particular book, I immediately admired Eliza’s character. She’s strong despite the circumstances in her life and has morals that our outstanding to hold. Unfortunately, there is drama, suspense and intrigue within this story. Enter Nick who is about to shift Eliza’s world. The chemistry is apparent and perfectly blended into the story. The Wicked Earl’s Widow is a great read and I highly recommend.

It can be read as a standalone even though it is part of a series, it is series of similar storylines and not of characters. I have read couple of other of her books, contemporary and historical, and I liked her way of writing … the beautiful way of sharing her characters with us … the emotions her stories awaken in us …
The Wicked Earl’s Widow is a fairly quick historical read that gives us loads of historical and cultural details of how it was to be a woman in that era … how it was to be a widow under the protection of your in-laws and still being threatened by your abusive father … how you are ‘owned’ by your father first and then by your husband and … how no one can help the wives and daughter who are physically and emotionally abused …
Aubrey is giving us a widow Eliza who is also a mother of a young daughter who so easily is being used to force her to submit to her abusive father’s demands, and Nathan, a young Viscount of Pendleton, a hard working young man with the heart that makes you to believe in fairy tales! It is a beautiful story of growing friendship, respect and love … it is a story of finding one’s strength and fighting for the future!

Aubrey Wynne is at it again with “A Wicked Earl’s Widow,” the second book in the Once Upon a Widow series. I unfortunately read these books out of order, but I don’t feel it took away from the book at all. Each story, while having some overlapping characters, are basically standalones and fine to read in any order that I’ve seen so far. In this book we meet Lady Eliza who was forced to marry, as most young women of more noble blood are, Conrad the Count of Sunderland. At his passing soon after their marriage, she is left pregnant and praying that she is safe from her abusive father. Years pass and she is in danger, so she flees to her cousin Grace’s home. Along the way she meets the handsome Nathaniel, Viscount of Pendleton. While Eliza’s story is not an entirely happy one, the story that Aubrey Wynne has created is lovely. I really enjoyed reading about this era and how high society worked back then. The main characters are such a treat to read about even down to the appropriately named blood hound, Cyrano. Nathaniel is a proud, brave man who will do anything to protect those he cares for and makes for a wonderful hero. Overall, a great book to read! Parts of it were a bit upsetting, but it only goes to show the resilience of the characters. So, I give “A Wicked Earl’s Widow” five stars!

A Wicked Earl’s Widow by Aubrey a Wynne is the second book in the since Upon A Widow Series. This is a brilliant example of historical romance and is a book that will grip you from start to finish.
Reading this book make me feel like I was transported into the story.
Eliza and Nate were the perfect characters for each other. The way their story’s connected and added to the overall depth of the story was great.
This is an author that I am always guaranteed to enjoy whatever they write. Aubrey has such an easy writing style that you find yourself immersed in every story. This was an overall great book.

I loved this book! After reading and loving the first book in this series I was really excited to start book 2 and I wasn’t disappointed! I think that I have definitely found a new historical romance writer to love! I loved all the twists and turns this story held, there were some that I definitely didn’t see coming.
I loved Eliza and I really did feel sorry for her, she was in the clutches of some pretty nasty family who were determined to marry her off to someone equally as horrible. I loved how the author made me hate characters as well as love some of them! I was definitely waiting for something to happen to Eliza’s father so that she could lead a happy life!
I will absolutely be looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future and would highly recommend this book to lovers of historical romance and also for anyone looking to read something a little different! Although part of a series this book can be read as a standalone! I can’t wait to read book 3 in the series!
