“In
the stellar debut of her Disreputable Debutantes series, Bennett makes
the Regency historical seem fresh and new through her vividly rendered
settings, which display her impeccable command of the glittering
world of the ton; her perfectly matched protagonists, whose
potent sexual chemistry evolves into sizzling love scenes; and her
expertly graceful, tartly witty writing.”—Booklist (starred review)
"Readers will enjoy this expertly executed Regency with likable characters. A well-written start to a historical romance series full of rakes and the women who love them."—Kirkus Reviews
"Bennett delivers a fun start to a new Regency series in which embracing one’s bad reputation yields some pretty good results.”—Library Journal

A young debutante makes a hasty exit from London only to create new headlines on the Continent.
After
being expelled from a young ladies' academy, a disgraced Miss Arabella
Jardine is whisked away to the Continent until the controversy in London
subsides. However,
it doesn't take long for Arabella to shock her family all over again
when an encounter in Switzerland with the irresistible rakehell-in-exile
Earl of Langdale leads to a compromising situation. Despite his wicked
reputation, Lord Langdale is the sort of man
she has dreamed of marrying.
When Gabriel Holmes-Fitzgerald is caught in flagrante delicto with the apparently prim and proper Miss Arabella Jardine, he's obliged to offer for the young lady's hand. Unprincipled cad that he is, Gabriel is no stranger to scandal. He'll do the right thing and wed Arabella, although he secretly despairs his tainted soul will corrupt and ultimately destroy her.
When Arabella's life is unexpectedly threatened by an unscrupulous enemy from the past, one thing becomes crystal clear to Gabriel: the worst torment of all will be losing the woman he loves. And he would do anything, even sell his soul to the Devil himself, to save her.

My Review
5 Stars
HOW TO CATCH AN ERRANT EARL by Amy Rose Bennett is book Two in The Disreputable Debutantes Series. This is the story of Gabriel Holmes-Fitzgerald, the Earl of Langdale and Arabella Jardine. I have read the previous book, which did add to my enjoyment of this one. But, I feel this can be a standalone book if you wish to do so. Arabella and her friends had been expelled from the ladies academy which lead to their disgrace with the town. Arabella and her family go on a Grand Tour which leads her to meet Gabriel. Gabriel is a rake but his latest entanglement has left him taking a break from everything to cool the rumors. In addition to that he is out to find his mother to prove his parents where married and that he is the legitimate heir that his cousin his trying to prove that Gabriel is not. Gabriel and Arabella get caught in a compromising position which of course will lead for him to do the right thing. But both have issues that they need to overcome before either can find their happy ending. I really enjoyed this author's writing and hope to read more from her soon.
