I Kissed an Earl: Pennyroyal Green Series

Love the Pennyroyal Green Series!

I am new to romance novels, and I found this to be great series. Julie Ann Long does a wonderful job of developing the characters in each book so that you fall in love with them as they fall in love with each other.

The story takes them on a journey to discover the truth about the crime in order to clear his name, who is trying to hide the truth about the crime, and who is paying to have him rescued. I loved Colin and Madeline. 2. Like No Other Lover: The story of Miles Redmond, an entomologist who has traveled the world, and returns to England hoping to secure enough money to fund another journey. He is the second Redmond son who is now the family heir, due to the disappearance of the eldest and beloved son Lyon. Cynthia Brightley is a woman who snubbed him years ago when she had her choice of men to marry, and after a scandal that essentiall...
