I was granted an ARC of Earls Trip (thank you NetGalley!) and I almost cried when I realized it was just a sample. I am so excited for the release!

Jenny Holiday creates a world in which I automatically want to join up on this boys trip in 1820, if only to learn more about the hilarious adventures of this group of friends. I love the unique take on a boys trip!

Holiday has created a fun loving group of friends and sprinkled an entire romance story in the middle of it, making me want more of both stories. I can’t wait for release day!

Thanks for the advanced snippet of the work! I enjoyed the section very much. Upon reading the description I was a bit worried I would confuse the characters, but the writing was clear and character development sufficient to ensure that the characters remained "straight" in my head. I'm hesitant to put a review on GoodReads because I wasn't able to read the entire book, but hope to receive a full copy of Earls Trip. The snippet left me wanting more! Thanks again!

Please note that this review is based on a preview, not the full story.

An interesting opening to the story, with a trio of quirky characters that seem capable of driving an interesting plot forward. I'm excited to see how the titular Earls tackle the trials coming their way, particularly the damsel in distress who I'm sure doesn't need saving.

Only had a small segment sent me as an ARC but so far I’m intrigued. Earls are sent to track down old friends to stop a wedding? I’m feeling some hijinks are afoot! Can’t wait to read the rest!

Ok I cannot wait to see what happens during this earls trip after reading the sample. This is such a fun premise of a guys trip overtaken by the request to save fair ladies! Oh this book is going to be such fun!

This was adorable. I love the characters already. It felt a bit like if Austen time traveled into present day and was familiar with our references. Holiday's usual banter is absolutely on point, and although the premise is something that fits well in the regency era it still feels fresh and fun.

I will definitely want to read the rest of Earl's Trip when it's available!

I just read a little excerpt and i already fell in love. Earls Trip is a “romance” historial/era book that introduce us to a three-male friends group, which are Archie, Simon and Effie and they’re about to go on a trip, their annual’s Earls trip.
The way Jenny Holiday writes makes reading this book so easily, and giving us some glimpse to the characters interests and backgrounds, boost even more the want of keep reading it. It made me so excited for what’s going to happen next, after the teaser phrase of “what happens on earls trip, stay on earls trip”.
can’t wait to read this!

Earls Trip
I enjoyed reading this early excerpt of the Earl’s Trip by Jenny Holiday.
Archibald Fielding-Burton, the Earl of Harcourt, Archie to his friends, is ready to enjoy his annual Earls Trip with his two best friends. On their way he receives an urgent request for help from one of his father’s’ closest neighbor and friend. His daughters have run off in the company of a dubious gentleman threatening to ruin both the girls. So begins what appears to be one heck of the road trip. I can’t wait to see what is in store for both Archie and his friends, male and female alike.

I was so sad when these preview chapters came to an end--I can't wait to read more! I love the modern flair on this time period, and the witty banter between the Earls is already top notch.

This review is based on a preview I was given via NetGalley. The earls trip by is a story surrounding the events that take place during a male friend group’s annual “Earls Trip”. Though the detailed plans surrounding this years expedition are quickly derailed, the trio seem eager to meet whatever comes their way as long as they can do so together.

I may have only read a short portion of this book, but what I have read so far has me eager to experience more. The three main characters seem quirky and lovable, and I appreciate the concept of a male friend group willing to be open and emotional with one another. If I had to guess (and I hope this is true), I would assume we may get a three book series following the romance of each MMC, fingers crossed. I gave three stars only because I haven’t actually read the entire book, but I’m excited to do so once it’s released!

Despite being a huge fan of Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte I have never read any of the books in the series, so this is my first dive into Regency-Era fiction. That being said, just from this small excerpt I really liked the story and I will definitely being reading this when it comes out. Archie seems like a very good guy and I cannot wait to explore more of his relationship with Clementine. This will make for a great summer read in 2024!

In a contemporary spin on the traditional Regency romance, Archie Fielding-Burton is looking forward to his annual trip with his two best friends, when their plans are derailed by an urgent plea to rescue two family friends from scandal. Clementine and Olive Morgan throw a wrench in the works, but may ultimately be what Archie has been looking for all along. A Regency setting, but reads more like a contemporary romance, may be good for readers looking to expand their field of interest.

just couldn't get into the writing style of this - felt very stilted and choppy. seems like a setup for an interesting group of characters, though!

What fun! I really enjoyed this snippet and will look forward to reading the full novel. Perhaps a future romance book club pick?

After enjoying this short excerpt, I am looking forward to reading the book. It reminds me of P. G. Wodehouse mixed with a Regency romance. Very fun!

Well, this was only a short excerpt, but I truly can’t wait to read the rest of it!

I like where this is heading.
