review 1: I really enjoyed My Irresistible Earl and it is probably my favourite out of the three books in this series so far. This story revolves around Jordan Lennox, the Earl of Falconridge, who we have come to know through the first two books. His lady love is Mara, Lady Pierson. Jordan and Mara had a brief flirtation when she was 17 years of age, just prior to him leaving on his first mission with the Inferno Club. Whilst he was away she married to escape the unhappy household living with her parents. She is now a widow with a two year old son. One of the highlights of My Irresistible Earl was the interaction of Jordan with Mara's young son. I am really looking forward to the next instalment in this series, where we can learn more about Drake, one of the members of the Or... moreder who had previously been captured and tortured.
review 2: What I did like:-the heroine's coquettetry. Usually the coquette in romance novels is the mean girl who bullies the heroine, but in this one, Mara's just doing her best to get out of a bad, emotionally (and physically) abusive family situation in the only way a girl back then could: by marrying.-the hero: he's steady, calm, reliable, and calms her down. (Although, everyone kept saying how flighty and immature she was when she was younger, you never get this sense because Mara is not like that anymore. Jordan breaking her heart and having a bad marriage beat that out of her)-how she told him she loved him: she was pissed, it came out in an almost bust-up, but she said it anyway because "love's not a scorecard".-less of the Order vs. Promethian stuff, which I've stated before how much I hate it and think it's stupid.-GREAT break-up fight. What I didn't like:-I thought Jordan and Mara became friends (or friendly) too quick. Jordan broke Mara's heart by walking away twelve years ago to (in the most annoying romance novel trope eeeever) "protect her" and join the Order, and she's all "independent widow who needs NO MAN" but then she starts falling in love with Jordan ASAP. I expected some hesitancy to even be friends with him. I expected her to be wary of letting him get close to her after he left and she grew to hate him.-The Misunderstanding. When Jordan backs off (to "protect her" again--ugh), he REAAAAAALLY didn't need to act like a jerk to get "space". I mean, honestly, Jordan. What did you expect was going to happen?-His excuse why he left in the first place: that she was immature, reckless, indiscreet. Ugh. That really annoyed me. He was afraid he'd tell her this secret that involves many of his friends' lives, and she'd just go blab it all over town because she's "young"? Wow. That's some mutual love right there, Jordan.This one fell kind of flat for me. I liked the characters, but the plot wasn't really there for me. less
