The Earl’s Match
(The Thompsons of Locust Street, Book Five)
Holly Bush
Book Description:
Meet the Thompsons of Locust Street, an unconventional family
taking Philadelphia high society by storm…
Payden Thompson’s pursuit of the man threatening his family
and his clan proves to be far from a straightforward confrontation. His hunt to
kill the illegitimate relative and the man’s followers is brutal and he is
imprisoned and beaten after a daring rescue attempt goes awry. Overwhelmed by
the violence and loss in Scotland, Payden finds himself unable to shed his
fears and trauma after his heroic return to America.
Clarice Endicott finds Philadelphia society boring and chafes
at her mother’s schemes to find her a husband amongst the wealthiest of the
young men on the hunt for a well-connected wife. A chance meeting introduces
her to a handsome and sullen Payden Thompson, who captures her interest, and
who has just returned from Scotland after five long and dangerous years. Will
Clarice be the woman to help Payden lift himself from the dogged effects of
tragedy and violence?

My 5-Star Review:
The Thompsons of Locust Street are back with this latest
novel by the talented Holly Bush. This time, it’s the youngest Thompson’s turn
to have an adventure and possibly fall in love. I’ve read all the books in this
series—as well as everything Holly has written—and have enjoyed them all.
When Paydon Thompson returns from a long, dangerous trip to
his homeland to save his title and land, he is a broken man. The memories of
what he experienced during battle haunt him, as does the loss of someone he
loved so much. All he wants is to settle back into his life and feel safe
again. Then, he meets the strong, willful, beautiful, Clarice Endicott, and she
will not only bring more adventure into his life, but also be his true match of
character in love.
The Earl’s Match has everything you want in a
historical romance novel. Adventure, drama, and romance. Holly has a beautiful
way of writing that keeps you on the edge of your seat while warming your
heart. I highly recommend this novel – as well as the entire series.
“I love you. With every bit of myself, until we are old and
infirm. Until the only thing left is love.”
