Seduction may not come naturally to the Earl, but Samuel is determined. He will enter his new life as a new man – even if Margaret seems to have secrets of her own.

An earl on the run from an accusation boards a ship that is headed to France. He meets Margaret, a lady’s maid to her cranky great aunt. He becomes enamored of quiet Margaret and has an idea that will help them both. Passion and love are not part of the equation and secrets found out may tear them apart before they can begin a life together. I received a complimentary copy and I am voluntarily reviewing.
This story was another good read in this series. Samuel was falsely accused of a crime. Margaret was at the mercy of her Great Aunt. Both wanted out of their situations and went through with a marriage of convenience. I enjoyed their quick and strong attraction to each other. Both had strength and found happiness when together. Separate they were less of everything. I recommend this story.
I received a copy of this story as a gift, and this is my unsolicited review.
The storyline was wonderfully written, the plot flowed smoothly from page to page and the characters were so well developed that this book was a very enjoyable read!
Emigrating sounds so much better than running away. Behavior that has been ingrained since childhood makes it hard for the Earl of Kincardine to truly become Mr. Brown. Margaret knows there is something he’s hiding but she marries him anyway. Emily K. Murdoch is one of my favorite authors because her characters are interesting and plots are well thought out. I totally enjoyed this book.
Shipboard marriage of convenience becomes a true marriage. But will it last when secrets are revealed? Good read. I received an ARC of this book.
A quick enticing read. Maggie is hiding all her beauty and charms. Sam is trying to outrun the law. You will enjoy the wit and fairytale like story of these two. They make a sudden decision to marry which will lead to a new future for both of them.
DELIGHTFULLY DELICIOUS!!!
Flaming! Wow, this one way to set the nights on fire. This is one tremendously enjoyable treat I’ve encountered in this genre. Satisfying is an understatement. A multitude of emotions and events really pulls those heartstrings. All the excitement, uncertainty, danger and suspense increases steadily while tension spirials as the plot thickens. Action packed, hard hitting, heart pounding, pulse racing, smooth flowing, page flipping wonder that grabs your attention and holds it until the last word. Twists and turns abound with vexing circumstances and unpredictable surprises that make for one thrilling experience. The characters are authentic and believable with such depth and individuality it’s easy to relate. They’re written with such realism it really pulls this little jewel together beautifully. The scenes are so graphically detailed and descriptive it’s easy to picture each scenario as they play off one another in perfect balance. Remarkable job Emily, thanks for sharing this little guy with us.
For a very quick read, it had everything that was needed in a regency romance. This definitely deserves a five-star rating. It is so well written even with the few characters in the story, it was beautiful, intense, fantastical, surprising and romantic. I loved the characters, so realistic, real feelings, real emotions. The author put into words how they felt and what that looked like on their face. Their actions and reactions were imaginative and down to earth. If you are looking for a feel-good read, I totally recommend this book. I received an Advanced Readers Copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
With a race against time, Samuel, Earl of Kincardine, boards a vessel for France, hoping to avoid the impending disaster that is about to befall him. Despite her poor dress and timid manner, Samuel decides that the best way in which to cover his tracks is to marry the little mouse he observed on the docks. He is surprised, however, when she shows more gumption than he originally thought and discovers that under her disguise of companion, there is actually a beauty with the capacity for passion. When the truth emerges, Margaret feels angry and betrayed, but support comes from an unusual source. The story is romantic and despite the suspense hanging over them, they do make a beautiful couple. One cannot help but applaud Margaret’s stance and her ability to take control of her life, but at the same time, I could have given Samuel a shaking for even considering she was so desperate for love that she would ignore the pending problems. The book is generally well written and is part of a series, but it is nevertheless a standalone and comes to a happy conclusion. I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.
Ms. Murdoch continues to delight with her period romances! Yes, she adds a little spice but that just makes them even better IMHO. Love this series and how all of the characters are intertwined while still standing on their own.
I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
Emily Murdoch is one of my favorite Regency Romance authors. She knows how to be both Period appropriate but still imaginative and innovative. That’s a truly neat truck to pull off. Her latest, Emigrating with an Earl (Ravishing Regencies, Book 8) is a perfect example of this. Yes, it’s a “Steamy Regency Romance” as promised (and this author most definitely does “steam” well), it is also a story with a complex plot-line and truly interesting characters. I loved the relationship between Margaret (Maggie) and Samuel (Sam) and watching as it grows from something done for reasons not related to romance into true abiding love. I equally loved following along as Maggie blossoms into a strong, confident woman. This is, quite frankly, great stuff and, but for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed, I could go on and on with praises. The book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend.
A leap of faith works better with a serving of honest.
Although innocent, still Samuel Berkeley, Earl of Kincardine knew escape to France was better than a hangman’s noose. What happens upon the Adelaide as it sailed to France is the plot of Emigrating with an Earl by Emily E.K. Murdoch.
This engrossing stand-alone novella is well written and well paced. All of the characters are developed with varied personalities. The plot is a bit unusual, but still it is well woven and even a bit believable, which is not the norm in romance fiction. The happy ending was smile-worth and satisfying.
Content alert: In addition to a few religious expletive, there is a detailed sexual scene.
Disclosure: I received a copy of this book from the author. I am voluntarily submitting my honest review.
This story has been written with something that other stories would usually have as the final climax, but this occurance happens almost at the beginning of the book and it had me dumbfounded! I sat and wondered what could possibly happen after that!
Guess what? Emily Murdoch, besides being a very talented writer is also quite brilliant and she pulled it off with a remarkable story.
I loved the two main characters, Samuel and Margaret and the respect and love they were able to offer each other.
Do yourself a favor and read this book (and the others in this series if you haven’t already done so). I really think it worthwhile and I have loved every bit of this book aa well as the rest of this series.
I read and Advance Reader Copy (ARC) and my unbiased review above is given voluntarily.
