Redemption of the Icy Earl

Unlikely Lords #5

by Debra Elizabeth

A young earl with a guarded heart. A woman seeking to escape her past. Can they learn to trust each other, or will their pasts tear them apart forever?

From the grand halls of London to the rolling fields of the English countryside, Everett Simmons, the Earl of Robertson, hides a deep pain behind his stoic facade. Haunted by the death of his brother, he has learned to keep his hardened heart in check. But when he meets Lady Olivia Armstrong, a woman who has also known great sorrow, he feels a spark of hope for the first time in years.

Olivia has finally escaped a cruel marriage after two years of hell and is determined never to let another man control her. Unfortunately, her marriage left her full of self-doubt. When she meets Everett, she is drawn to his quiet strength and begins to come out of her shell. As their friendship deepens into something more, they must face their past traumas and learn to trust in love again or forever be alone.

Redemption of the Icy Earl is perfect for fans of Bridgerton and author Meara Platt who enjoy stories of personal triumph, determination, and love.

Redemption of the Icy Earl

A good story with a likeable hero and heroine. Olivia had endured a marriage with a man who treated her badly. Now a widow, she’s determined not to fall in love. Everett had an unhappy childhood and is also determined never to fall in love. But fate intervenes.

3½ stars

The premise for this story intrigued me and it turned out to be an interesting story. The main characters both had sad backstory's so it was lovely to see them progress in a positive way. There are no open door scenes, just scorching kisses, though at times I thought it came close to crossing the line. Beautiful ending, except for the dowager countess. Enjoy!

Second chance

I will admit I never read really read books about widows, just never found one worth reading I suppose. Anyways this is a great short story about an abused widow, and how she met the Icy Earl, and thawed his heart
Thank you ♥️
