I know a few other reviewers were critical of the amount of misogyny in the book but I felt that it was probably reflective of what actual ‘ton’ thought. So it wasn’t an issue for me. It’s a quick enough read with a fairly interesting storyline. I enjoyed it. (

I received this as a Goodreads giveaway. The characters, especially the young girl, are captivating. You feel for her and want her to be happy. The positive female friendships are also great to behold.

Unfortunately, I had to stop reading this but not for the typical reasons you may be thinking. I battle debilitating anxiety and a scene regarding assault occurred and then the characters kept on bringing it up and it was troubling. The author is not at fault for this, of course. What troubles one person doesn’t phase another.

The language tripped me up a bit too, it didn’t always feel authentic to the time period, which pulled me out of the fictional world. I also would have loved to hear more about the cultivating of the hops and the successful business the women created, but since I didn’t finish the book, that may have shown up!

Thank you again for the chance to read this book! These are my honest thoughts.

I received an ARC of this book to read from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. What Ales The Earl is the first book in Sally MacKenzie’s Widows Brew Series. Second son Harry Graham had a very passionate summer with his childhood friend Penelope Barnes and then went off to war. Ten years later his brother has died and he is now the Earl of Darrow under great pressure from his mother to marry and produce an heir. He leaps at the opportunity to escape the marriage mart if only for a brief time when his friend the Duke of Grainger asks him to investigate the mystery of a small payment made to someone annually in the town of Little Puddledon by the previous duke. The first person he meets on his arrival in Little Puddledon is a young girl whose distinctive hair colouring leads him to assume she must be one of his brothers by-blows. He discovers to his dismay and delight that Harriet is actually his daughter. His attraction to her mother Penelope Barnes is as strong as ever and he would be more than delighted to pick up where they left off ten years ago. I found it a bit annoying at how long it took for even the vaguest idea of marrying Penelope to occur to him, he was more than willing to bed her all while planning to marry another. This however is probably historically accurate if frustrating to me. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to he rest of the series. Fairly steamy. Publishing Date July 31, 2018. #NetGalley #WhatAlesTheEarl (
