And I hope you’ll enjoy the excerpt, too. It’s the scene in which my hero and heroine meet for the very first time . . . and let’s just say that Margaret is less than impressed with Philip. You’ll also make the acquaintance of Margaret’s doughty aunt, a wordsmith who publishes thesauruses — and she’s not impressed with Philip either. :)

Says the Romance Dish:

“I have a feeling I’ll be chuckling a lot while reading this book.”

For my December contest, I’ve got a $20 Amazon gift card to share PLUS a signed, print copy of Engaged to the Earl!

In a starred review, Booklist cheered:

“Readers who crave romances written with style and substance will cherish Berne’s latest entrancing addition to the Penhallow Dynasty series. The author’s effortlessly elegant writing and impeccably rendered Regency setting are perfectly paired with a full cadre of exquisitely realized characters and a delightfully done friends-to-lovers love story that is fueled by equal measures of sweet charm, sharp wit, and heart-melting sexual chemistry.”

The Historical Novel Society said:

“Jane Austen would approve. Strongly recommended.”

And how about this lovely compliment from the Oregon Coast Bookmonger?

“Over the years, this book reviewer has developed a reputation as a curmudgeonly sort when it comes to romance novels. So imagine my astonishment when I picked up Engaged to the Earl . . . and found myself devouring it like a plateful of bonbons. Nary a cynical thought crossed my mind. Not one dismissive ‘harrumph’ passed my lips. . . . If you want a story that will make you chuckle, swoon and generally feel warm-hearted, Engaged to the Earl fills the bill.”

Sorry . . . I couldn’t resist. ;)

Cheers John Charles in Booklist:

“While offering a Regency riff on the movie Groundhog Day, with a dash of Macbeth and pinch of Greek mythology added for good measure, Berne fashions another sublime addition to her Penhallow series, one that is brilliantly enhanced by a stellar cast of characters . . . and generous measures of the author’s wry wit and wondrous sense of whimsy.”
