To Catch an Earl by Kate Bateman: Review

Historical romance is not a genre every romance lover reads. In fact, I know many readers that don’t choose this type of story due to preconceive notion‘s.

I do enjoy reviewing them every so often because these stories are not your typical book that your mother read. These are written in contemporary language, for the most part, and include those steamy scenes and heightened sexual tension that we love in a story. Not to mention, a great overall story too!

This new release is a perfect example! Read on for my review.

SHE KNOWS HOW TO STEAL A KISS.

Alex Harland, Earl of Melton and dedicated rake, never pictured himself as an agent of inquiry. But the thrill of investigation is a challenge he now embraces. When he’s asked to pursue the Nightjar, a notorious thief who is reclaiming France’s crown jewels, the case throws him into the path of the beautiful and equally elusive Emmy Danvers, reminding him of the only puzzle he’s never solved: the identity of the mysterious woman who once stole a kiss from him―and left him wanting so much more…

With the determined earl hot on her trail―and making her hot under the collar―Emmy has no choice but to keep her distance. But when a moment’s danger threatens Emmy’s life as well as her name, will Alex finally discover that he’s followed every clue…to true love?

To Catch an Earl by Kate Bateman Review

I’ve read the first book in this series by Bateman and I love that she she gives us a flair for the unexpected. This book is showcases exactly the unexpected, along with some awesome twists.

Normally it’s the guy who is the bad boy, but in this instance, it’s the girl. The story is beautifully crafted and includes so much interest and history that you are involved from the beginning.

Plus, her character development is delightful and so intense. It’s bold and it’s sexy. It’s a heated cat and mouse game and you honestly have no idea where the author is going in order to bring us to a happy conclusion.

With amazing artistic flair, we are given a book that is fun, smoldering, sexy, clever, and just an all-around perfect read. I hope you take a chance on a historical romance like this one.

5 Stars!
