Earls Trip is the first in a new series and a new to me author.
This was a delightfully lovely book. A lighthearted romance about childhood friends that have lost touch in the last few years and are rebuilding their friendship. Getting to know one another again by using their childhood as a foundation to learn who they are now. The entire plot and characters were endearing and sweet. The beginning started out in a fast pace but slowed to a moderate pace, once arriving at the destination of the trip, for the duration of the story.
I loved that this story was about seeing and understanding those you love and it didn’t include just romantic love but sisterly and platonic love as well. Getting to see a connection build between the FMC and her sister was a wonderful example of that. The MMC is open with his feelings, not afraid to show the love he has for those he cares for. It was also maddening though as you can see the feelings he has for the FMC but is unable to recognize his own feelings for her. The FMC is adamant in not wanting to marry but is also oblivious to her own feelings as well.
There are three encounters that short but are steamy and has good build up.
An advance ebook was provided by Kensington Books via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
