Thanks so much to Netgalley and the publishers! This was a fun read, I’ll write a more detailed review after release!

This book was such a sweet, historical romance. The characters were full of personality and special quirks. I love seeing the romance between Archie and Clem develop and bloom. I also appreciate the moments. There were a few typos, but they did not take away from the story. I would definitely recommend this to lovers of historical romances.

Very cute book - but I didn't connect with the story as much as I hoped that I would.

2 Earls and a viscount (informally Archies, Simon, and Effie) start their annual Earls Trip -- only set out on a mission to rescue Clementine who is trying to rescue her sister, Olive, from Clementine's ex-fiancee, Mr. Bull. Hilarity ensues - with an accidental gun shot wound, a supposedly haunted castle in ruins, a turtle race, and falling love.

Clementine is refreshing lady who is more wild than she is a lady - who climbs tree, saves all manner of animals, eats vegetarian, and cries when animals are killed in hunts. Archie is an honor bound gentleman who loves his mother (who is suffering from dementia), his friends, and hunting.

Despite a great premise, good characters, and pretty writing, the story felt too formal for me and it was hard for me to connect to the MCs.

I think I loved Effie the most out of all of the characters in the story - and will definitely be reading his book when it comes out.

The Earl’s Trip by Jenny Holiday was such a fun, charming regency romp! A group of friends take an earls trip each year and this year a rescue ensues, friendships are formed, deepened and love of course blossoms.
Highly recommend for fans of Martha Waters and Amalie Howard
Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the arc copy.

I was only given a small snippet of this book to read. My download was difficult to read. I like the premise of the book and would like to read more once this is published. I hate it wasn’t the full arc. I requested it because I liked the premise. I only requested books I am genuinely interested in. I would like to give it a better rating but I need more to rate.

Unfortunately, I could not get into this read and found the characters irritating. I've never read a work by Jenny Holiday. I think maybe this is just an author/writing style that's not for me.

Overall, Earls Trip is a fun, light read. The central plot, involving a scandal and an unconventional proposal, adds a layer of intrigue and keeps you engaged to see what the actual truth of the situation(s) was. The tension between Archie and Clementine, as they navigate societal expectations and their own desires, creates a compelling romantic storyline.

However, I must admit that there were moments when the modern language felt out of place in the historical context. And the ease with which the characters flout the norms of the Regency era doesn't align with most period novels, where a woman can be "ruined" for minor infractions and people with unconventional views are often shut out of society. This might be a drawback for readers who prefer a more traditional approach to historical romance--or readers who don't want to see a guy become a vegetarian just to make his girlfriend happy.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a temporary digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

This was a regency romance for new adults that touches on the topics of moral dietary choices, gender criticisms, and found family. While these topics fell short for me, I do think other readers will find this enjoyable and unique topics for a regency novel. Thank you for the copy!

I enjoyed Earls Trip very much - it was an easy, quick read, with loveable characters. Were the modern elements a bit too cheesy? Perhaps! They did take me out of the story from time to time, but overall they did not diminish my enjoyable reading experience! I look forward to reading whatever sequels come out next year!

I was sent an invitation to read this book, the author is new to me, and I usually give new authors an easier review, but this author has written other books, so this is not a debut novel. I found the story too politically motivated, a feminist in the mid-1800s, not only is she anti-marriage, she is a vegetarian, not even eating eggs. Her childhood friend, Archie, has grown into the Earl of Harcourt, every year, he and his two friends Simon, and Effie, go on a boys-only trip, this year they decide on a dilapidated castle, as they are off,
Clementine and her sister Olive have become involved with the same man, a vegetarian activist who has written a book and is actively pushing for hunters to stop hunting, and even worse to stop eating the meat. Spoiler Alert: I should have known that the protagonist gets her way, that the man wimps out and gives into her obsession. Needless to say, I did not like the protagonist or the two other males who make up the Earl's Trip! Sorry, even though I eat mostly chicken, I crave a hamburger once in a while, and I enjoy every bite of it, without remorse! I found the protagonist to be self-righteous and irritating, I read for escapism, and to be entertained, not to be lectured on a subject that I heartily disagree with.
Thank you #Netgalley #KensingtonBooks

Historical is a new one for Jenny Holiday, and as a big fan of her contemporary work, I was intrigued. I should preface the review by saying I've never seen the movie Girl's Trip, so I have no idea if the book has any homage elements (nor do I think it should be necessary in such a case, I just know it can enhance the experience). Despite some heavier themes (some off-page death and on-page dementia), this is mostly a light work that mostly worked for me. Some of the characters came off as a bit two-dimensional and there were a few verbal anachronisms, but overall it was an enjoyable historical outing. I'll be interested to see what happens in the second book, though I've got some reservations about male characters posing as women for vocational reasons in general and even more intensively in historical.

I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Really looking forward to reading the full book - this short section was not enough! I'm so excited for Jenny's first historical romance.

3 ⭐️

This was my first ever Jenny holiday book & I am obsessed! This one is such a fun historical fiction novel with a modern twist that is filled with laughter & friendship!

I really enjoyed ‘Earls Trip’ it was really good 😊 I found it charming and very cute 💕 I would highly recommend it.

Rating: 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a charming and super fun regency romance.

I loved the premise: 3 best friends who take a yearly guys trip together. I loved how Jenny Holiday described the phenomenon of spending time with the people you love, how we often forfeit sleep in order together the most time together. “It was a fortnight of physical fatigue, trades for mental replenishment that would last the year.” And isn’t that so often the case. This year their boys trip gets crashed by two sisters. Making this Earl’s trip one everyone will remember.

You will absolutely fall in love with the 3 Earl’s and their friendship. It is the pure and true friendship that only comes around once or twice in a lifetime. And it’s that same type of friendship that paves the way for Archie and Clementine.

Clementine is vehemently against marriage, seeing it as its own type of prison. But she asks Archie to show her the pleasures of marriage, free from the shackles of it. And Archie just wants to give Clem what she wants. He knows he could never tame anyone so wild as Clementine. He wouldn’t want to. But the more entangled Clem becomes with Archie, the more she begins to question if all marriages are cages, or if sometimes a man can be home.

Honestly adored this book. It’s such a feel good story that will sweep you away to the English Country side and make you want to call your best friend!

This was overall very cute !! despite some complaints i had with characters, and pacing, it's a good book !!

Thank you to NetGalley, Kensington Books, and to the author for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!

I took about 100 screenshots of quotes that I loved as I was reading the book, and now that I’ve finished it I’m just sitting here in happy shock, unable to sort them all into any sort of coherence. It originally felt like I was reading a male version of Little Women, men who don’t have an ounce of toxic masculinity anywhere near their general vicinities that is, and I had already fallen in love with the book at that point. But then it took a turn into a gentle, slow-burning romance that I couldn’t look away from for even a minute. I just can’t even express how much I loved it!!! The book was effortlessly witty, and soothing, and perfect in every way. I can’t wait to have a copy sitting on my shelf so that I can revisit like an old friend.

Well this was just delightful! I saw a friend post this ARC and I immediately requested - so glad I did. It was so much fun and the MMC’s were flamed but still charming. It actually made me laugh out loud. The regency era vibes were very fun but it was unique and had a nice modern tone. The friendship between Archie, Simon and Effie was top tier and well written. I read for my job all day long a lot of the time and this was a perfect book for a nice pallet cleanser. Would recommend!

Earls Trip opens with a Ted Lasso quote and that couldn’t have been more appropriate. A romantic comedy set in 1820s England with not a drop of toxicity in it and men talking about their feelings with each other? Is that even possible? This book was a delight to read, especially as a fan of character focused and driven stories. I felt like I knew each character so well and adored the relationships. The fact that there were full chapters of the three men simply enjoying each other’s company and expressing how fond they are of each other warmed my heart - likewise with the sister focused chapters. I will say the amount of conversations in the first half did make me feel impatient for the romance to start, but by the time I finished the book I was thankful for every second we had with these characters. Adored!

I adored this book. First, the MCs were men. Fully realized, incredibly flawed, and yet so yummy. Very Big Themes addressed, realistically and compassionately. Oh, and laugh=out-loud funny. What's not to adore? I cannot wait for the next one!
