The Indebted Earl by Erica Vetsch Book Review and Giveaway

 

Can Captain Wyvern keep his new marriage of convenience all business--or will it turn into something more?

Captain Charles Wyvern owes a great debt to the man who saved his life--especially since Major Richardson lost his own life in the process. The best way to honor that hero's dying wish is for Wyvern to escort the man's grieving fiancé and mother safely to a new cottage home by the sea. But along the way, he learns of another obligation that has fallen on his shoulders: his uncle has died and the captain is now the Earl of Rothwell.

When he and the ladies arrive at his new manor house in Devon, they discover an estate in need of a leader and a gaggle of girls, all wards of the former earl. War the new earl knows; young ladies and properties he does not. Still wishing to provide for the bereaved Lady Sophia Haverly, Charles proposes a marriage of convenience.

Sophie is surprised to find she isn't opposed to the idea. It will help her care for her betrothed's elderly mother, and she's already fallen in love with the wayward girls on the Rothwell estate. This alliance is a chance to repay the captain who has done so much for her care, as well as divert her attention from her grief. When Wyvern returns to his sea commission, she'll stay behind to oversee his property and wards.

It sounds so simple. Until the stalwart captain is arrested on suspicion of smuggling, and Sophie realizes how much he's come to mean to her. Now she'll have to learn to fight, not only for his freedom but also for his love.

My Thoughts:

 A much anticipated third book in The Serendipity & Secrets and the conclusion to this amazing book series.

 The story has a recurring theme of someone suddenly becoming an Earl with reluctance. The book is predictable for the most part with a few events that are unexpected. It doesn’t take away from this fantastic read. The unexpected Earl is Captain Charles Wyvern. He has a lot of guilt with his friend dying to save his Captain’s life. His friend had a fiancée Sophia. All Charles ever wanted in life was to be a Captain out in the open seas. With the sudden death of his Uncle and becoming an Earl of Rothwell his life must take on a different direction.

Captain Charles Wyvern has given his word to his dying friend to look after his mother and his fiancée Lady Sophia Haverly. To add to the situation he finds out there are three young kids who are living on the Rothwell Estate. Both Sophia and Charles are thrust into raising kids. Sophia was already taking care of her fiancé’s mother while he was a way.

I love that we are reacquainted with characters from the other books in the series. My favorite is Marcus Haverly which is significant in this book too! I love all the characters and the plot.

The story is a real heartfelt book and Erica Vetsch has done an amazing job researching the era and the whole upper class of the era. This is an amazing Christian Historical Romance.
