Girls Before Earls by Anna Bennett
4.0
I really enjoyed this book by Anna Bennett and it actually prompted me to go and get her backlist!
Hazel is the heroine and I loved her. She is smart, caring, and willing to do whatever it takes to protect the girls in her school. When she meets Gabriel, she isn't swayed in anyway to bend to his wants and by standing up to him, she forces him to realize things he most definitely didn't want to.
Gabriel is the hero and since becoming responsible for his teenaged niece, he has had nothing but headaches. When trying to enroll her into Hazel's school, he thinks by using his well known charm he will get what he wants but Hazel isn't bending. She will accept his niece only if he commits to coming to visit her every other week.
Ultimately they come to an agreement and Gabriel keeps up his end of the bargain. As these two characters become more drawn to one another, they begin to realize they are going to need to figure out what is truly important to them and what they are willing to sacrifice. I loved how these two came together and of course, there is an antagonist who I disliked greatly.
If you're looking for a new historical romance with well-developed characters and a good story that will keep you turning the pages, definitely pick this one up!
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the copy in exchange for an honest review.
