Emigrating with An Earl is another novella in the Ravishing Regency series by Emily Murdoch. I found this to be an intriguing story that captured my attention from the start. Samuel Berkeley, Earl of Kincardine is suspected of murdering his close friend and so he flees to a boat sailing to the south of France. Margaret Berry serves as her great aunt’s companion and lives a horrid life. When she meets Samuel her world turns upside down. I thought this book had a lot of depth to it. Murdoch shows the power of honesty in a relationship, as well as the necessity of it. “The candlelight shone in his light brown hair, almost golden. He looked young, a little older than herself perhaps, but his eyes… There was something interesting about his eyes. They looked old, as though he had seen too much.”

Splendid book! Looking forward to more from Murdoch. I was given a copy of this book.
