As with all of Shana Galen’s historical romances, she has again delivered a tale with sparkling dialogue and an adventure-packed plot. I’m so glad I accepted an invitation from the publisher, via Net-Galley, to read and review An Affair with a Spare, the third book in her Survivors series. My opinions are my own and are not influence in any way.
An Affair with a Spare moves a little slow in the beginning, but as a devoted reader of Ms. Galen’s, I persevered, and I’m so glad I did. The book truly took off at the halfway point. From that point on, I could not read fast enough, and it had the ingredients that I love in Ms. Galen’s writing style.
Collette’s character is vulnerable but determined. While it took some time to become vested in her, by the middle of the book, I fully wanted her to find her happy ending, and with Rafe. She has many of the characteristics that I enjoy in a heroine.
Rafe makes a drool-worthy hero. I enjoyed his character quite a lot. I found it interesting when he does not pursue an amorous attachment to Collette and keeps his manner to her friendly and helpful for a good bit of the book.
There is plenty of sexual tension between Collette and Rafe once they both recognize their feelings for each other. By the end of the book, I was thrilled when they found their happily ever after.
If you are a fan of Regency romances with plenty of action and heart-warming characters, then you will love No Earls Allowed as much as I did. I highly recommend this book and this very talented author. Happy reading!
