The Earl and the Peahen by Jean Wilde
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this historical romance story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites yet so far. This is the fifth book in this series but can be read as a standalone but I highly suggest reading the previous books as they are that great. This is a well written story that pulled me in from the beginning. It is a fast paced story about Jane who is twenty-five and determined to find love and marriage by the end of the season. Then you have Alexander who has been okay with no one until now. Now that he has started looking for a partner in marriage, he runs into Jane. But fate has put a criminal in the path and now they find themselves imprisoned but once freed they go their own ways. What will fate have in store for them? Will they find their way back to each other and still have the same feelings? I enjoyed watching them grow throughout this story. They bring life and make the story entertaining to read. I am glad I picked up this book and highly recommend it.

At the precarious age of twenty-five, Jane Mayfield can’t compete with the fresh-faced debutantes with their generous dowries. Still, she’s determined to make an advantageous love match before the end of the London season.

Alexander Gordon, the Earl of Norwich, has spent his life searching for a truth that’s often evaded him. He’s finally come to realize that the loneliness plaguing him can only be remedied by love and family. Upon venturing into the marriage mart, he encounters the plain yet charming Miss Mayfield. While she captures his attention, she’s far from the ideal match he had in mind.

When a case of mistaken identity lands them in the clutches of a professional criminal, they find themselves imprisoned with little chance of escape. A tentative alliance blossoms into enrapturing romance, but once they’re freed Jane’s heart faces a far more wrenching plight. Will Alexander still ache for her as he once did? Or was the passion between them an illusion borne from their harrowing experience?
