"The Indebted Earl" by Erica Vetsch (with giveaway!)

Captain Charles Wyvern wants nothing more than to recover from his wounds and return to service in His Majesty's Royal Navy. But things don't always go as planned. He's tasked with delivering his best friend's sea chest to his bereaved fiancee, he inherits a title he never expected, and he discovers he has wards. Things were never this complicated on board ship.

Lady Sophia Haverly has always been a free spirit, but the death of her fiance casts a long shadow over her life. Independent and determined, Sophie vows to take care of Rich's mother, who is now all alone in the world. She's reluctant to rely on Captain Wyvern to help them set up a house near the sea, but he's the best choice for the job.

Events keep throwing Charles and Sophie together. Can they truly be better as a team than two individuals fighting against each other?

This action-packed novel kept me turning the pages to see what would happen next. Though I can't say I related to either of the main characters, I appreciated their strengths and weaknesses and how they worked together. I loved the captain's three young wards and thought they each added so much to the story with their own unique personalities. The trouble on the captain's new estate added a layer of tension and danger that I didn't expect at first. 

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the whole Serendipity and Secrets series. A wonderful addition to the library of any Regency fiction lover!

I received my copy of the book from Read With Audra. All thoughts in this review are my own.
