Miss Charlotte Chapman is known as ‘the sunshine’ of the ton. She must find a husband to ensure her and her younger sister’s future. Charlotte finds herself abducted by her deceased brother’s best friend during a snowstorm. They are forced to take shelter at a country tavern, where he reveals the ugly truth about her soon-to-be fiancé. Charlotte realizes that Finn is not the blackguard society paints him to be. Can Charlotte put her trust in Finn?

Finneas “Finn” Jones, the Earl of Trevelyan does not fit society’s definition of an aristocrat. He has promised to look after his late friend’s two sisters. When he learns of Charlotte’s engagement, Finn rushes to keep her from making a momentous mistake. An upended carriage during a snowstorm strands them at a small tavern. Finn tries to protect her from the secrets he harbors. Will those secrets cause him to lose Charlotte forever?

 

Charlotte surprised me in a good way. On the surface she plays the role that society expects of her. Charlotte wisely keeps her thoughts, views, and opinions to herself. I admire the noble sacrifices she is willing to make for her sister’s sake. She wants to give her sibling the future she deserves benefiting their station. What I adore the most about Charlotte is how she is not afraid to do menial work. Most women of her status would balk at helping the working class.

Finn easily won my affection. How could I not? The man is virtually a teddy bear! He is often misunderstood because of his appearance, and he does not correct others’ misconceptions. Finn’s aloof demeanor hides a soft and kind-hearted nature. What I adore the most about Finn is how he differs from the rest of his peers. He has no interest in society’s activities and functions. Instead, Finn prefers to help those less fortunate. He is not afraid to lend them a hand or work alongside them.

EARLS RUSH IN is a standalone historical romance by Jennifer Haymore. T The story’s premise, along with the grumpy/sunshine trope, is what drew my interest. Wowza, it did not disappoint! I found myself swept up by the characters, their history, and the plot. I honestly could not put the book down. I finished it in two settings.
