Synopsis

Marlowe is a pickpocket, a housebreaker-and a better actress than any professional on the stage. She runs with the Covent Garden Cubs, a gang of thieves living in the slums of London's Seven Dials. It's a fierce life, and Marlowe has a hard outer shell. But when she's alone, she allows herself to think of a time before—a dimly remembered life when she was called Elizabeth.

Maxwell, Lord Dane, is intrigued when his brother, a hired investigator, ropes him into his investigation of the fiercely beautiful hellion. He teaches her to navigate the social morass of the ton, but Marlowe will not escape so easily. Instead, Dane is drawn into her dangerous world, where the student becomes the teacher and love is the greatest risk of all.

Contains mature themes.

Goodreads review by Jacqueline's Reads on December 30, 2017

4.5 Stars I love finding a new Historical Author. Based on the reviews I wouldn’t have picked up this book, but it was one of the few that was available from the library and I figured why not? I’m so glad I took a chance on Earls Just Want to Have fun. The title is ridiculous and has NOTHING to do wit......more

Goodreads review by EB on January 12, 2015

ARC provided by NetGalley for an honest review. I struggled with how to review this book. I’ve struggled on twitter, and struggled in messages to friends, because there are things about this book that just do not click for me. I’ve spent several weeks knee deep in contemporary, and futuristic erotica......more
