And even if Delilah and Thomas can make a go of their relationship, they'll still have to earn her mother’s blessing. He’s always loved her, but as Delilah begins to fall for her friend, she worries about what will happen to the two of them when her potion finally wears off. Delilah's best friend, Lord Thomas Hobbs, doesn’t believe in love potions, but when Delilah accidentally sprinkles the potion on him, he knows it’s the perfect excuse to finally act on his feelings for her. But as Delilah sets her sights on London’s most eligible bachelor, the Duke of Branville, she realizes extra help is required. Either Delilah finds someone to marry or her mother will pick a husband for her.
With her mother growing increasingly frustrated by Delilah’s constant attempts to make matches for her friends while neglecting her duty to secure a betrothal herself, the clock is ticking. It was my first time reading anything from Valerie Bowman, but I’ll definitely look for more of her work in the future.Longtime friends get the nudge they need from a magical love potion in this kooky and playful historical romance.Īfter six seasons, Delilah Montebank needs a husband. But the characters were deep and meaningful, and their connections to each other were simple and heartwarming. These moments made the hero look condescending. One qualm I did have with the story was in Owen’s efforts to teach Alexandra to flirt. While the story of the rake and the love-struck innocent has absolutely been done before, Valerie Bowman adds new freshness to the relationship between Alexandra and Owen. Reading The Untamed Earl was a completely immersive experience and the pages flew by quickly. With a romance novel as good as this one, it’s difficult to accept anything less from other Regency romance novels. Alexandra offers to help Owen get into Lavinia’s good graces, but Owen ends up falling in love with Alexandra instead.
Owen’s father threatens to cut him off from his fortune if he doesn’t woo Lavinia. At a young age, Alexandra falls in love with Lord Owen Monroe, but her parents make a marriage arrangement between Owen and Lavinia instead. Alexandra Hobbs has always come second to her older sister, Lavinia, in everything.
