I really like this book it was a great tale with good characters and settings. I received a review copy from NetGalley but the views and opinions expressed herein are my own.

SWOON SWOON is what we felt reading this book! Archie and Clementine were just everything in this book! It was the perfect friends-to-lovers Regency romcom, we all need in our lives! Archie is one of the sweetest MMCs ever he was everything we hope for in a MMCs, gentleman, sweet, and caring for everyone in his life. He just had a heart of gold! He is the reason this book is 5 stars!!!

I think I would really enjoy this book if I was in the mood for a fun romance. This book found me when I was in the mood for a broody fantasy, so the connection just wasn't there. Super disappointing, I had been looking forward to this one. I love this author and will totally be finding more of her books, hopefully at a time when my mood matches up with the genre.

What a whirlwind. Honestly, it wasn’t my favorite read of 2024. I found the characters to be a little unlikable and semi frustrating. It had many feminist views which I think were completely unnecessary for a historical romance - despite a modern writer.
I had high hopes for this, but unfortunately it just fell short.

A sweet and charming Regency-era historical-ish romance! A group of three male friends take a yearly trip, however, this time it is interrupted by their need to rescue two women from social ruin. The book was lighthearted and humorous at points, but there were a few points that left me scratching my head as it felt too modern. I completely understand that some readers like it when an author gives a historical setting a modern take, but that's just not my jam.

Overall, not my favorite by Jenny Holiday (I usually LOVE her books), but still good and worth a read.

3.75 🌟, rounded up to 4.

This was a delightful teaser - A budding historical romance and a wonderfully intriguing cast. I can't wait to read the title in full!

I really enjoyed this and loved meeting the characters and look forward to the next in the series. I also liked that it mostly took place away from society so there could be real conversations and connections and friendships built.

I finally got around to reading this snippet. I’m bummed it wasn’t the whole book but it did convince me to add the entire book to my TBR. I love the tone and the concept and will be sure to purchase it next time I’m at the bookstore.

Loved this book!
The plot was amazing and it kept me on my toes!
Definitely a must to read if you loved Julia Quins books!

Clever, heartwarming, and unputtdownable. I loved this book and I'm usually very picky about historical romances.

I want to love historical romance but I just don't. This one was good and kept my attention but was FAR too long.

sparkling and super cool regency-era work with a lot of fun ideas in it. would recommend. tysm for the arc! 4 stars.

TL;DR:
- 4 stars
- Content warnings: dementia, early onset memory loss
- An early regency man and his two best friends set off on a bros trip... but along the way he has to save a childhood friend from ruination, and stop from falling in love with her spinster sister.

Liked:
- Been a real historical moment lately, and this, while not what I typically expect from Holiday, was delightful.
- I thought Archie was just such a sweetheart... to think of giving up meat in the era of hunting for sport? IDK color me impressed! I'm easy! For the time period, it was such a cute twist
- Low low conflict/angst, just how I like it. Only a couple moments of angst for me, and the book was all the better for it.
- LOVED the trio of Archie + friends. Love a group of lads, love a non-toxic relationship, love world-building that suggests more books... love it all.

Less Into:
- I didn't have anything! I can't wait for the other two novels.

Sweet, unexpected, and just as good as every other Holiday book I've read.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I'm relatively new to Jenny Holiday. Canadian Boyfriend was my first read by her, and while I do generally prefer contemporary romance to historical romance, this was a fun take on a regency-era romance and it was impossible not to be pulled in by the characters. I will be interested to read the other books in this series to see the other men in the friend group find love. I will admit that the book was predictable but not in an annoying or frustrating way.

Earl's Trip is a spicy regency-era romance with lots of laughs, love, and amazing friendship dynamics. Check it out if you are a fan of:

Long-lost friends-to-lovers
Found Family
Close friend groups
Student/Mentor romance
Forced proximity


Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

Really enjoyed it, different from a typical regency romance. I look forward to the next two installments of the series so that all the men in the friend group find love.

Excellent for fans of Victoria Heath and Martha Waters! Earls rip is a spunky regency romance - I adored the friendship dynamics, the romance, and the laughter. This book is well paced, and played on tropes while feeling hollow.

'Earls Trip' is an absolute joy, set in Regency England, and it kept me thoroughly entertained from start to finish.
The romcom Regency storyline is full of charm, humor, and romance, giving off major Bridgerton vibes.

The main characters are irresistibly endearing, and I found myself rooting for them every step of the way, both literally and figuratively.

Jenny Holiday's writing blends wit and warmth perfectly, making it impossible not to smile throughout.
I had a blast reading this book, and it's a must-read for anyone who loves a good romcom!



Huge thank you to both publisher and author for an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review

What a nice, light, enjoyable read! If you are looking for a period piece with a little romance and long lost friends to lovers is your jam, this is for you. With sprinkles of humor and well rounded main and side characters this book was predictable but not in a way that would make me roll my eyes. Thank you NetGalley for the advanced preview.

I’m sure for those who like period romance novels, this book could be a fun read. But honestly, I think I maybe got through 30 pages before I stopped reading. 😭

It may be because of the word choice or because of how slow the beginning was, but I just didn’t care to keep reading. Unfortunately, I’m not mad that I DNF’ed, bc I don’t miss it at all.

I don’t like DNFing things but I just couldn’t stay hooked enough to keep reading. I think I may just need a faster beginning or one with more action happening. Whether it be more drama right away, or some tension right off the bat. I wished there was more of it.

REVIEW: Earl’s Trip ✨🧳

SUMMARY: Archibald Fielding-Burton, the Earl of Harcourt, and his two besties (and fellow English peers), Simon and Effie, have just set out on their annual multi-week “Earl’s Trip” when their journey is upended. In response to a letter from his father’s oldest friend, Archie must act quickly to rescue sisters Clementine and Olive from certain ruin, and brings his friends along for the ride. 🏰✉️

I liked this book! It was a Regency story with a decidedly modern sensibility, not unlike Bridgerton, albeit with only a fourth as much of the 🔥.
It didn’t feel like a romance in the traditional sense. While the romantic plot line between Archie and Clementine is key to the story, it also devotes plenty of time to side plots related to family, friendship, and personal growth. ❤️👯‍♀️

Check it out if you like:

💞 Friends to lovers
📚 Mentor/student romance
🌲 Remote location/forced proximity
👩‍🍼 Familial obligations
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Found family

I enjoyed the book, and I am looking forward to reading Simon and Effie’s stories, which Earl’s Trip laid the groundwork for. 📖✨
