A roguish earl must fight using his honor and not his sword to win his lady's hand in How To Train Your Earl, the third book in the First Comes Love trilogy from bestseller Amelia Grey.
Brina Feld has settled into a life devoted to helping others since the sinking of the Salty Dove left her widowed. She has no need for a man in her contented life. But when the notorious and handsome Lord Blacknight returns and awakens her desires, her peace and serenity vanish. If she agrees to an alliance with him, she knows she will have to battle her heart to keep from being snared under his spell.
Zane, the Earl of Blacknight, was never supposed to inherit the earldom, so he didn't much care to lead a respectable life before then. Fistfights, card games, and drinking are the order of the day. Now he's determined to change his rakish ways and he knows the proper lady who can help him. There's just one problem: He's already bet he'll win her hand before the Season is over. With her resolve to out-scheme him, how can he show her that his love is true?

A virtuous widow meets a rakish man in the third book of Grey's "First Comes Love" series (after Gone with the Rogue). Demure widow Brina Feld is devoted to charity work and the memory of her heroic late husband, but her prim exterior hides an adventurous streak. When Zane Blacknight, the outcast of his family, suddenly inherits an earldom, he comes to the conclusion that Brina will make the perfect wife. Like any good rake, he goes about wooing her in a most ungentlemanly way--with a wager that she will marry him by the end of the season. Fortunately, the independent Brina is more than a match for this unlikely Earl, and makes her own bet that he can't survive without his vices while he woos her. VERDICT The book is carefully plotted, with instant chemistry between the leads, and a heroine with some depth. Readers need not have read the other books in the "First Comes Love" series to follow the story; those who enjoy gambler rakes and angst-ridden heroines will find it enjoyable.--Sierra Wilson, Chicago

To end to his meddling relatives' attempts to play matchmaker for him, Zane Browning, the newly minted Earl of Blacknight, decides to find a wife himself. With her spotless reputation and long history of charitable acts, the widowed Brina Feld would seem to be the perfect person to help erase Zane's rakish past. Zane just has one problem: Brina has vowed never to wed again. Grey (The Earl Next Door, 2019) expertly layers plenty of steamy sexual tension into the inventive plot of the concluding volume of her First Comes Love trilogy, and the resulting battle of wits and opposing wagers between a roguish nobleman and a virtuous widow is a rare treat for fans of Sophie Jordan or Valerie Bowman.COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
