Hello

Apologies for the late notice, but I have decided not to review this title. While I am certain it's obvious by now, I wanted to also clear this off NetGalley, so it's not showing as open for either of us.

Thanks,
Laura

I don't know if it's the sweet voice of the narrator, or the very slow plot, but I have to quit this book. Eighteen-year-old Adeline is at the beginning of her first season when Lord Littleton sees her across the ballroom. He has decided to find a wife and is interested in Adeline, but he hurt one of her friends in the past when he ghosted her so Adeline is wary of him. He is supposed to be a notorious rake, but so far there is not much to show for this. I'm at 19%. They've gone to balls and had one carriage ride. Maybe the plot picks up later, but right now both characters are so dull I wish them both happiness in the country on his farm.

This was a cute, fun and quick read. I loved both of the characters. It will be interesting to see what is next in the series.

This was a great read and a great addition to all the regency romance I read. Quinn's characters are well thought out and the character and world building is wonderful.

Fredrick “Frits”, Baron Littleton caused a bit of talk last season when he set his sights on Lady Dorcus “Dorie” Calthor and diligently courted her only to seemingly throw her over with no explanation. This season he is sure he has found his bride, too bad she is friends with Lady Dorie, the woman he courted last season until he realized they wouldn’t suit and left her without, it was not well done of him and now he needs to convince Lady Adeline Wivenly that he is not the rake she believes him to be.

Adeline doesn’t want anything to do with rakes, which is exactly what she believes Frits to be after his treatment of her new friend Lady Dorie. She tries to keep the handsome lord at bay, even though she is attracted to him. Frits is sure Adeline is meant for him and sets out to prove they belong together.

This was an okay read for me, it was well written and well researched, but it just didn’t do it for me. The story was sweet and I did like Frits, but Adeline annoyed me. There were some amusing scenes and quite a few familiar characters from the previous series as well as slow burn romance between Frits and Adeline, culminating in a HEA. But when all is said and done, I am not sure how I feel about this book, I didn’t love it nor did I hate it, I am glad I read it, but I don’t think I would read it again. This is the first book in a new series and while I was not “wowed” by this book, I am interested in continuing with the series.

Such a great read. I live how everything played out. The characters were fun and emotional, wonderfully written book.

This is Lady Adeline Wivenly and Fredrick, Lord Littleton’s story; book 1 in The Lords of London series; a standalone, happily ever after, no cheating, historical romance with some heat.
Cute story of the heroine protecting the hero from manipulations from marriage minded women.
Can she learn to trust her heart and love a rogue with a long history with women.
Well written with some sizzle.
I received a copy of this story through NetGalley for my honest opinion.

The Most Eligible Lord in London by Ella Quinn was a fun book to read. I loved the characters and thought Ms Quinn did a great job bringing them to life.

This was a great read. I thought Fritz and Adeline were a good fit. I enjoyed all of the side characters. I'm curious about the Mothers relationship. They have been friends for a long time but I think there's more. I thought the story ended too abruptly and I'm looking forward to more stories.

Very good book. I enjoy this author.Ella Quinn is able to write a strong romance book with a beautiful HEA. I would recommend this book and author to other romance readers.

What a charming read! Delightful beach reading. I love this Regency romp. Great read!

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

This is was such a fun, lighthearted, joyful escape!
There’s very little angst and a healthy dose of sweetness in this story, so don’t go into it with expectations of high drama. On the other had the characters are lovely and relatable and at times sugary charming. The plot flows smoothly and the prose is lovely. I’d gladly escape to this world any day of 2020. Recommend!

I read few books by Ella Quinn in the past. I liked most of them. This one did not fit with me well. It was a bit slow and chapter kind of drag. By the time I was in the middle I was thinking not much was happening. The cover was so much better. The book was just fine.

Frederick (Frits), Lord Littleton has returned to London for the new season after the diaster of the year before. Ready for a wife, his one obstacle is the lady he's interested in. She's friends with the lady he left hanging when he suddenly left London the year before. Poor Frits has his work cut out for him. Nothing is easy in his quest for the lovely Adeline Wivenly. Carriage rides and ices, supper dances and suppers, competition for her attention and of course Maximus.
A lively season in London. Laugh out loud.

This was a fun read. A historic RomCom, reminiscent of a Shakespearian comedy, without the Elizabethan dialect and spelling. The book centers on the new season of the Marriage Mart. Fredrick (Frits), Lord Littleton, would be considered the most eligible gentleman in town, except for the mistake he made the previous year, by showing interest in a girl, before he knew her well enough to know if they would suit and when realizing that they would not, suddenly left London, without telling her. He is looking for a love match, and the first time that he meets Lady Adeline Wivenly, he believes that she is the one for him. However, she is friends with the girl he fled from last year. She has her own list of qualities that she is looking for in a husband, and a rake is not one of them. There are ladies plotting to compromise Frits to force him into marriage, not for love but ulterior motives, while a villain attempts the same thing on Adeline. Meanwhile their mothers, who are friends, believe they would make an excellent match, but in the end it is Maximus the dog that saves the day. Appealing characters, witty dialogue and an amusing plot, skillfully written combined to make this a fun read.

I read an ARC from NetGalley.com. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.

This was well written but it wasn't for me. It was very well researched but I didn't connect with the characters and the story for me was average at best,

This was a slow burn romance that really dragged for me for quite a bit. I love most everything this author has written, but this one fell flat for me, almost as if it was a combination of earlier books smashed into one. Not very original in terms of the plot, and it took forever to get to "the good stuff," as I like to say.

The Most Eligible Lord in London (The Lords of London). By Ella Quinn. 2020. Zebra (ARC eBook).

Lady Adeline Wivenly begins her debut in London by securing friendships and the attention of two gentleman. But when one of them is revealed to be Fredrick “Frits,” Lord Littleton, the man who last season raised the hopes of one of Adeline’s new friends and then left Town with explanation, she resolves to not encourage an acquaintance with him. But Frits is determined to prove that he is not the rake Adeline believes him to be. And indeed, it may be the charms of her other prospect that she should be wary of.

I felt a bit discombobulated when the plot of Littleton’s competition was wrapped up and another conflict developed. This is the first book by Quinn I’ve read so I gather I may not have felt as such if I had already read the HEA of Adeline’s brother (?) Aside from that aspect, the sweet, slow-burn romance of The Most Eligible Lord in London delivers a solid start for what should be an entertaining series.

Oof. I disliked the last book by her and thought I would give her another try, but ugh, I hated this book from the beginning. The hero was a pile of mush. Too pliable and soft. Sweet like icing that makes your mouth pucker. Not in the good way. I usually like a beta hero, but he was a bag of jelly to me and I wanted a little more strength and fortitude. I didn’t get rakish or incorrigible from him like the summary said. I’m not interested in finishing this book, so I won’t be posting this review on social media.

Handsome, rakish, incorrigibly flirtatious—Fredrick, Lord Littleton, is notorious. Lady Adeline Wivenly is resolved to keep him at arm’s length during her first Season—until she overhears another woman’s plot to trick him into marriage. Even a rogue is undeserving of such deception, and Adeline feels obliged to warn him—only to find herself perilously attracted. In the past, Littleton’s charm nearly got him leg-shackled to the wrong woman. Now he’s positive he’s found the right one, for Adeline is everything he wants and needs in a wife. Her sense of justice is so strong she agrees to help him despite her mistrust. But can the ton’s most elusive lord convince the lady he is finally serious about marriage—as long as she will be his bride?.
This was an alright book. It was a bit slow moving for me. Both characters were decent enough, it was just hard to make it through the book.
