Review: Brave New Earl

Brave New Earl by Jane Ashford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

They all seem to need this survivors group.

Way to make a good impression. At least she's not the equivalent of a social worker, if they had them at that time.

Who is this other boy?

Projecting much?

Clayton is a nice man, valet or not. Benjamin's dress apparently offends him.

Jean, honey, you can't give in to a little boy all the time. I know you yourself were neglected, but there is a fine line between being lovingly attentive and spoiling.

Benjamin's mother was delightful.

Honestly, a leash sounds like a good idea at this point.

He played her like a fiddle.

She was obviously locked in as a child, in a room or a closet.

Geez, her mother did a number on her. Who knew hair could do so much.

Depressing book. But her heart was in the right place.

Eww. I'm sorry for you, Sarah.

The Wandrells are horrid people. If this is the sort of Society Benjamin has around him, he did well to become a hermit.

Huzzah, Mrs. Thorpe!

Poor Tom is the babysitter who has to stay all night and doesn't get paid.

The lady knows what she wants.

Her mother forgot she locked her child in a cupboard?!

I wonder if Benjamin hoped the nannies could be eliminated before they even left Bristol.

That witch should not be her only informant on the state of marriage.

Actresses can be religious, too.

Oh, Geoffrey.

Personally, I think you reap what you sow, Mrs. Wandrell. You locked a little boy up after scaring him into thinking he would have an evil stepmother.

It's just hair, Clayton. Chill.

Geoffrey is so cute when he is learning new words or taking the ones he knows literally.

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
