    About this audiobook

    Eva Leigh's irresistible new series introduces the Wicked Quills of London: a group of bold, brilliant female writers whose spirited allure is beyond seductive . . .

    Eleanor Hawke loves a good scandal. And readers of her successful gossip rag live for the exploits of her favorite subject: Daniel Balfour, the notorious Earl of Ashford. So when the earl himself marches into her office and invites her to experience his illicit pursuits firsthand, Eleanor is stunned. Gambling hells, phaeton races, masquerades . . . What more could a scandal writer want than a secret look into the life of this devilishly handsome rake?

    Daniel has secrets, and if The Hawk's Eye gets wind of them, a man's life could be at stake. And what better way to distract a gossip than by feeding her the scandal she desperately craves? But Daniel never expected the sharp mind and biting wit of the beautiful writer, and their desire for each other threatens even his best-laid plans.

    But when Eleanor learns the truth of his deception, Daniel will do anything to prove a romance between a commoner and an earl could really last forever.

      3.5 stars - I enjoyed this book overall but found it was too long. Some editing would have made this into a great read. Will continue with the series and hope that the other books are more focused.
    • 4/5
      3.5 stars rounded up. There were some times when I might have leaned toward 5 stars, and then others that were at best a 3. At one point they leave an event early because they have to get their hands on each other, and they can barely contain themselves during the carriage ride- and then when they arrive they play sort of a long boring game making up some lame limericks... Neither is a virgin, there's no point in taking one step forward and then two steps back. By the time their bedroom scene rolled around my mind kept trying to wander off and I struggled to care. There's a later sex scene though that was really well executed, so there's potential there. Same with other aspects of the plot, something clever and engaging and then something meandering and dull and a bit ridiculous. I think it would have been stronger overall with more of the fluff edited out. The heroine irked me a bit as well, but that's bound to happen sometimes. This is my first from this author and I think there's potential for me to become a fan... but I'm still hoping for some improvement!
    • 3/5
      Though I loved the basic premise of Forever Your Earl, the execution left me unmoved. Both Eleanor and Daniel were enjoyable characters (she the editor of a gossip rag, he the paper's most popular subject) but the situation they found themselves in was just too contrived for my taste. It was never at all clear why Daniel felt having a reporter along for the ride on his wild escapades would bring less attention than when he set out alone? Nothing about that makes any sense. The book was an OK read but one I had to keep chiding myself to continue.
    • 3/5
      Finally! 3.5

      Those book was an easy, entertaining read. I liked both characters. It was funny and steamy and exactly what I needed during this crazy time.
    • 3/5
      I feel like a curmudgeon but this had such a modern bent to it. The hero and heroine's views and conversations could have been ripped out of today's feminist issues and dialogues. From the heroine dressing as a man and seeing and feeling what power they are handed for simply being male, a man coming on to her and her friend and then basically saying they aren't worthy of him anyway when they deny him, to the hero leaving a note on man he had knocked out and the heroine had beat up a bit that read along the lines of I treat women horribly. I had to constantly fight to have the setting be historical, would have loved this as a contemporary.
      There were at times, too, that the conversations were all a bit too clever and the plot and intricacies of the hero needing to keep the heroine and society occupied as he searched (sort of searched, let's be honest) for his friend. I'm going to give the next in the series a shot because I like the author's writing style.
      It seems I'm at a crossroads of my older historicals being way too problematic at times and my newer historicals being too chock full of wonderful feminism. Is anyone else having this problem or is my psyche having a woman in her thirties (perfect age to be tired of the b.s. but still idealistic or indoctrinated to cling to old views/values) battle?
    • 5/5
      This is a debut from a new author for me and a first book in her The Wicked Quills of London series in which we'll be meeting three heroines who are all good with their quills.

      We open the series with an owner of a prominent scandal sheet.

      This was such a fun, F.U.N., read! From the opening scene to the last, you'll be on a rollercoaster and you'll not want to get off.

      I loved everything about this story! The plot was as much intriguing as our heroine was about the life of our hero. And speaking of, what a man he was! To go to the lengths that he does in order to help a friend, is not just honorable but commending.

      To follow these two as they're trying to read each other and in the process fall in love, was a delight.

Eleanor was a downright delight to read. She was unusual for her time but I truly believe that women like her existed. Even if just out of necessity. Daniel was a great match for her in every way and I enjoyed his journey to accepting the strong woman that she was. This was just a really good story that made me swoon!Audio Thoughts:Narrated By Carmen Rose/Length: 12 hrs and 18 minsCarmen nailed the narration of Eleanor and Daniel. She really brought out the slight differences in class and station. This was a really great listen!Part of my Read It, Rate It, File It DONE! Reviews
