I don't think there is a Christy Carlyle book that I haven't enjoyed, and this delightful one is just as wonderful as her others! I loved the first book in the Love on Holiday series, so I was super excited to get Lady Meets Earl as an ARC!Lady Lucy has had three unsuccessful seasons, where she hasn't met anyone. Her older sister is recently married and her younger brother is about to go on a grand tour, which Lucy wishes for herself. She decides that she wants a solo trip to visit her aunt, who lives all on her own in a Scottish estate. James is the owner of a shipping company, who has had a year of bad luck and lost all his capital, his ships and owes money to an unscrupulous businessman. He inherits his long-estranged uncle's title, and the only thing worth anything is an estate up in Scotland-- which Lucy's aunt happens to live in.Lucy and James meet at the train station in London and it is an instant attraction. They're in for a surprise when they both get to the Scottish estate! The unfolding events are great fun to read. Lucy coming into her own and James learning to let someone in is a lot of fun to read, and I loved them together!This was a great read-- absolutely wonderful! Lady Lucy is now one of my favorite book heroines. Lucy and James story was so sweet. They were great together. I loved how much time we got with them together, and the author got just the right amount of conflict and angst for me. I've been reading a lot of angsty, suspenseful books lately so I needed one that had less melodrama. This was the perfect amount of story, romance, scenery and conflict. I loved the plucky heroine, and how she cares for people and is fearless and goes for what she wants on her terms. I highly recommend this delightful read!I received Lady Meets Earl as an ARC and all opinions are my own.

When James Pembroke comes into the title of Earl of Rossbury, he thinks he can get out of debt to a sleazy loan shark. But the previous earl was also in debt and had only one property in Scotland that can save James. Unfortunately, it was occupied by the earl's former mistress, Lady Cassandra. Lady Lucy Westmont has been the go-to person for anyone who needed help, but now twenty-four and unmarried, she wants to live her own life. She decides to visit her Aunt Cassandra in Scotland and discuss her options. A meeting at the train station to Scotland begins the adventures of James and Lucy as they discover themselves and each other.

Lady Meets Earl is charming, romantic, and it made my heart happy! If you’re looking for a low conflict, romantic escapism, this is it!After three failed seasons, Lady Lucy Westmont, an aspiring artist, yearns for a bit of freedom and adventure. Rather than garnering appreciation for helping others, Lucy is labeled “a meddlesome termagant.” As a result, eligible gentlemen avoid her. Lucy has had enough. Fortunately, escape comes in the form of an invitation to Scotland from her beloved and indomitable aunt, Lady Cassandra.James Pembroke is deep in debt. Following a failed investment scheme, James is not only on the brink of losing his shipping company, but, worst of all, he owes money to a villainous moneylender. When James unexpectedly inherits his late uncle’s title, it was supposed to be a respite. Instead, James’s debts and despair compounded because the earldom is debt-ridden. But hold on! There is also a manor house in Scotland. Selling it seems his best option.Fate saw both Lucy and James traveling to the same destination, on the same train. Their chemistry was palpable from their first meeting and seeing their sweet and swoony romance unfold was pure delight. When Lucy is accosted by an odious passenger, James comes to her aid and offers to share his train car. They get to know each other on the journey. There is attraction, curiosity, and longing. The next time they meet, to their surprise, is at the said manor house. I adore James and Lucy. James is hard working and honorable. I love that Lucy brings out the teasing scoundrel in him. He is also tender with her. Likewise, Lucy’s desire to help others is endearing and relatable. I love that Lucy is no pushover. There are lovely romantic scenes in this book. My favorite is where Lucy gives James archery lessons. Moreover, there are lively secondary characters including Lucy’s aunt and Blackwood. I also appreciate Lucy’s supportive and loving parents.Lady Meets Earl will surely keep you warm and cozy!I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
