The Earl Next Door - Charis Michaels
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The characters were well written and related well. They aren't terribly unusual for characters in this type of book. I mean we've all run into independent minded heiresses. Penniless Earls. Busibody neighbors. Put upon lady's companions. And sons trying to live down their father's reputation and rebuild the family coffers.

Well, this book had them all. But this time, the former nanny is a former slave. The independent heiress is an American and her mother and 5 step brothers want the family fortune for themselves. The penniless Earl used to run the business for a Greek slum lord, and the Greeks show up at the wedding!

Between rotting architecture and blackmail, Piety and her Earl seem to find time to fall in love and cause lots of mayhem, but it's a rough road. Read it and find out for yourself just why I enjoyed this book so much.
