review 1: As someone who grew up watching the original Brady Bunch, in reruns, I was curious about The Earl is Mine and how they, being the Brady's of the late 1960's early 1970's, would relate to a romance novel set in the 1800's. Having read Ms. Kramer's books before I knew it would be good, but it was so much better than good! I didn't think of the t.v. Brady's at all while reading this. It is quite clever of the author to use something many of us grew up with and turn it into something new and exciting. With well developed, not to mention very likable, characters I couldn't put it down. When Gregory Sherwood, Lord Westdale, ends up with Lady Pippa Harrington, whose had to escape a very unscrupulous stepfather by playing the part of a man and acting as "Greg's" valet you can just... more imagine the ensuing chaos, very reminiscent of the show now that I think of it. :D With a couple of twists and turns including a pushy Lady, a lost love with a baby, a possible kidnapping, a sweet old man and a deep dark family secret you can't help but be entertained. I want more of this new "Brady Bunch" and am looking forward to the next installment. Truly enjoyed reading this book and read the last page with a smile on my face. You can't ask for more than that.
review 2: When I am in the mood for a feel-good, light, smart book I know I can count on Kieran Kramer to deliver and The Earl is Mine is no exception. The banter and tension between Gregory and Pippa was a delight to read. Hijinks just seem to follow Pippa and Gregory seems to be the one to deal with them, from her dressing as a man to escape a horrible marriage offer to serving as Gregory's valet (which you know leads to some very heated moments) this couple is just destined to be together. Gregory is holding a family secret very close to him and he has built some walls around him and Pippa, with her dreams of being a sugar sculpture (really loved this element, almost wish we had seen more of it!) and her determination to only marry for love, form a very unique, bold couple that have much to overcome before true feelings can be explored and delivered on. The ending was very satisfying and answered any questions I had throughout the story. Warmth, humor, strong family bonds and heat; Kieran Kramer delivers it all and I can't wait for more. 4 stars less
