I will be thinking about Earl Crush by Alexandra Vasti for a while.

This book has everything! Romantic tension, face-melting chemistry, sooo much romance (in letters, what the characters are thinking, & gestures), & standout leads that I want everything for.

Lydia has social anxiety but she’s also a badass who isn’t afraid to take the reins into her own hands, so to speak. She is so smart & full of verve & watching her with the Earl is my idea of a fantastic time.

The Earl. Oh Arthur, je t’adore. This brawny Earl is perfection. He is a gentle giant who wants to do the right thing & is stunned by Lydia, who so many other people have overlooked.

The way Arthur & Lydia reveal their mutual vulnerabilities with each other is wonderful, & the way that he sees & appreciates her will have your heart thumping extra.
