A seductive Welsh earl on the brink of ruin. A wealthy cit in search of a hero.

Miss Evelina Franklin reads too many romance novels. She’s certain a handsome duke—or dashing highwayman—is in her future. In the meantime, Evie entertains herself with the admirers vying for her fortune.

The Earl of Brecken needs cash. His late father left their Welsh estate in ruin, and his mother will not let him rest until it is restored to its former glory. Notorious for his seductive charm, he searches the ballrooms for a wealthy heiress.

His choices are dismal until he meets Miss Franklin. Guileless and gorgeous with an enormous dowry, she seems the answer to his prayers. Until his conscience makes an unexpected appearance.

My thoughts on Earl of Brecken by Aubrey Wynne 

Earl of Brecken by Aubrey Wynn is a lovely Regency romance novel. The premise is not new, with an impoverished peer needing the dowry of a merchant’s daughter, but Ms. Wynn portrayed it with the right tone and panache to make the book quite enjoyable.

Young Evelina is such a joyful debutante. She’s quick to help others and has a forgiving nature. Her relationships with her sister and father provide a glimpse into where she gets her strength of character.

Madoc, home after years of government service, finds his family estate in shambles due to neglect and embezzlement at the hands of a swindling estate manager. His only recourse is to find a wife with a healthy dowry. When he falls in love with Evie, a second daughter, his dowry hopes and her gentle heart are both in danger.

The settings are vividly described whether we are in the swanky London homes and clubs or raising a barn in Wales. It’s easy to picture every scene in your mind.

This book is the first I have read from the author and the series. I’m sure there are many people in the Earl of Brecken that already have their story in print or deserve to. I plan to read more as soon as time allows.

Plan to be swept away to Regency London and Wales for a few hours by the delightful story of Madoc and Evelina!

I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.

Excerpt from Earl of Brecken by Aubrey Wynne

London, 1819

Lifting his glass, Madoc’s well-practiced smile returned. “Here’s to long, dull days of leisure. May I never take boredom for granted again.”

Sunderland guffawed. “By all means, enjoy them if you can before you become earl. After that, your days may not be filled with intrigue, but you will certainly stay occupied. My estate, properties, and seat in the Lords demand much of my time.”

His friend’s statement gave him pause. “I hadn’t really thought about the future, in that sense, but you’re right enough. I’ve been trained for the title and know what is expected of me. Yet, having the responsibility solely on my shoulders scares the hell out of me.” Madoc sighed. “If I fail an assignment, my disappearance will cause little harm. Another man will take my place, and the task will be accomplished. But making decisions that affect the lives of my tenants, people whose livelihood could be crushed by a man’s whim…”

The earl nodded. “The obligation can be heavy at times, but it’s our duty to maintain our inheritance, our family name. Those who tend the land and the animals, work within our abodes, are all an integral part of the system. Treat them fairly, and with the dignity they deserve, and you’ll do well. It’s that mutual understanding and common goal to make life better that will bond you to them.”

“Blast, if you don’t sound like my father.” Madoc laughed. “Next you’ll be telling me it’s time to find a wife. Speaking of, how is Grace?”
