About the Book
Title: The Earl’s Return
Author: Callie Hutton
Genre: Regency Romance
London, 1819. Four years ago, Darius, the Earl of
Redgrave fled London two weeks before his wedding to Lady Mary’s sister and
married another woman. Now a widower, he has returned to seek a new wife.
One woman catches his eye . . .
At first, Lady Mary
doesn’t recognize the handsome lord as the cad who ran out on her sister. After
giving him the cut direct in a London ballroom, she finds herself running into
him everywhere she goes, and fighting a forbidden attraction. Not only has Mary
sworn off men, Redgrave is so very wrong for her. But she cannot stop thinking
of his kisses. Redgrave means to stay away from Mary but it is impossible.
Passion between two people who can never be together is a dangerous game.

Book Excerpts
A slight knock on the bedchamber door jolted them apart. “My lady, I
have your gown for tonight. ’Tis pressed. May I hang it in your wardrobe?”
“Oh, goodness,” Mary whispered, pulling her bodice up. She turned her
back to him. “Fasten my gown, and hurry.”
“My lady?”
“Ah, I will be right there, Baxter. I was just taking a short nap.” She
looked at him over her shoulder. “Hurry up.”
He leaned close to her ear. “Mary, have you forgotten when your maid
comes into the room she is most likely going to see me?”
“Oh God.” She whirled around, looking at every corner. “What will we do
with you?”
“My lady? Is everything all right?”
“Yes. Yes, just fine Baxter. I will be right there. Just give me a
moment.” She glanced in the mirror and pushed back the loose strands of her
hair, shifting her bodice to straighten it.
Redgrave strode to the window and looked down. It was a fall, but if he
hung from the window frame, he could drop to the ground and probably only break
a leg or two, but most likely not his neck. Mary hurried to his side. “You
can’t climb out the window, one of the women might see you.” She wrung her
hands. “What are we going to do?”
“I’ll have to hide in the wardrobe.”
“She wants to put the gown in the wardrobe,” she whispered furiously.
A loud knocking came from the door. “My lady, are you sure you are all
right? Shall I get one of the footmen to open the door? Is it stuck?”
“No!” She pushed Redgrave toward the wardrobe. “Climb in. I’ll handle
Baxter.”
He eased into the tight space and Mary closed the door, leaving him in
pitch-black darkness.
Review:
Charming romance novel with all the
attributes of a romance while still appearing fresh and exciting. Callie Hutton turns the regency era romance
into a fun adventure, peopled with characters you want to be friends with or
fall in love with.
The heroine is who every girl wants
to be; charming, daring, fun and swept off her feet. The hero is brave, damaged, romantic, and a
little sinful. In other words, just who
every girl wants to fall in love with and save.
I give this book 4 out of 5 clouds
and anxiously await more by the author.
