I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
In The Most Eligible Viscount in London, Miss Georgie Featherton is expecting life to take a turn very quickly. She's been courted by the dashing Viscount Gavin Turley, and a proposal is imminent, but when the moment comes, and he can't say that he loves her, Georgie simply refuses. She has always wanted a love match, and rare as they are, and can't face life as a wife without love. For Gavin, he can't imagine anyone else as his Viscountess, but seeing how his father broke down, and crumbled after losing his own love, he can't face the possibility the same would happen to him. For now, Gavin has to do everything he can to win Georgie back, and open himself up to the possibility of love, before it's too late.
I saw this one on NetGalley and it seemed right up my street, so I was so happy that I was approved. For the most part, The Most Eligible Viscount in London was a quick read, and enjoyable. However, I finished the book only an hour or so ago, and I've already started to forget parts of the plot line. I liked Georgie, and her independence, and her sheer grit not to settle for anything less than she deserved. Gavin was a nice hero too, sometimes reminding me of a Darcyesque character, with how emotionally stunted he was, but how invested in the relationship he was too. I really enjoyed the three dowagers all playing their parts behind the scenes in order to get Gavin and Georgie together, but other than that, the book was a little bland, and not much really happened. There was a house party at a neighbour's. and our main couple couldn't find any moments to be alone, a potential kidnapping, and a second potential love interest, but nothing felt really substantial. I did like the book, and am glad I read it, but I won't be rushing to re-read it any time soon.
The Most Eligible Viscount in London was an enjoyable regency romance by Ella Quinn.
A love match that needs a little help proves to be a delightful story. Gavin and Georgie were perfect for each other they just didn't know how much until they get a little help from her grandmother.
This was a sweet book, but I’ll be honest it left a bit to be desired, the plot felt rushed at the on set and then childish in how the main couple reacted. I wished there’d been more of a secondary plot, as the book was entirely about their relationship and no other problems in the couple’s lives. It felt very lackluster and unrealistic given people typically have more than one thing going on at a time. Overall it was a decent read, but quality wise it felt more like a novella than an actual novel.
Another enjoyable read by Ms. Quinn. Both the main characters are in love with each other, but only one realizes it and the other fights it. Georgie is in love with Gavin, a viscount and cannot wait for his proposal. When Gavin does propose, he does everything but tell Georgie he loves her. This breaks her hear and she refuses him. Gavin wants no one other than Georgie and gathers some help to woo her back. Georgie will only marry for love and Gavin fears what love can do. They begin again and learn more about each other than they had in their previous courtship. They surprise each other with their interests and it makes Gavin realize Georgie is the only woman for him, but he cannot give her his heart. Both struggle with their feelings and time is running out. Can both overcome their fears to have the life together they both crave?
I received this novel from net galley and the publisher as an ARC. Thank you! All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I found this book to be so very boring.
The side characters took too much space and the main characters never really talked. Georgia and Gavin might speak of trivial things, but they never actually did talk about their situation. In fact, I do not know why they fell in love with each other in the first place, as that was presented as a fait accompli since the very first chapter. I honestly don't even think they spent a lot of time together on the page, and many times it was a case of telling and not showing by the author. The main characters went on to have their first kiss at around the 70% mark! And this book wasn't even a case of a slow burn because there wasn't any kind of burn at all - slow or otherwise. I was very disappointed, as the synopsis made this novel sound very interesting.
2 stars because it is well-written and it shows that the author does a lot of historical research.
A love story about two people which one is in love the h and the H does not believe in love but in reality he is in love with her . Three old dowager doing everything they could to bring these two together .
