Ok, the cover is really pretty and the blurb really grabbed my attention. As I have a few Ella Quinn books but haven't read them yet, this one I decided to give it a try. Sadly, the story didn't grab my attention as I thought it would have from reading the blurb. I couldn't connect with the characters either. I will still try more Ella Quinn in the future.

I received this book at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

This book was well written, but the story was inconsistent and all over the place. The main story line read like a sixth graders text: who likes who, who is dating who, who hates who. It was very confusing. The heroine, based on a vague comment from an acquaintance, dubs the hero as a rake. That is the one consistent thing. Now, the heroine hears a plot by another deb to trap the hero. So she tries to help him, repeatedly. And she still refers to him as a rake. There is one part of this story where she is thinking about this one man, who she feels comfortable with. She compares him to the hero and still determines the hero a rake. Mean while, this man is only conporting himself with widows and matrons at all of the balls and parties. In fact, he is having affairs with them. But he isn't a rake. The hero, who tells her about his farm and preference for the country (like her), is a rake. So very contradictory. And there is an off shoot story about a mother and child former slave and how the overseer is looking for them. I guess this was the historical part of the story? The heroine then goes on to kill the overseer, write a statement fornthebmagistate and eats dinner, cool as you please. Who can kill a man, and then eat dinner? This woman is supposed to be a gentlewoman, who wouldn't hurt a flea, who has such a sensitive nature that she is protected by all of her male people. But she cold bloodily kills a man with no fainting, or crying, or revulsion over what she had done.
The story had grammatical errors, like 'plush figure's for 'lush figure' or 'march with her' instead of 'match with her'. The characters were two dimensional. The men and woman all scurried around discussing nothing more than who liked who and who should marry who. There was no story line and the was little in the way of history in this book. I would not recommend it. While I give all the credit in the world to writers who are put themselves out there, this story is not successful and the editor should have requested a re'write. No stars, no recommendation to purchase.

Will he be able to win her trust before it is too late ...

This tale is a slow-burn romance as even if Frits recognizes from the beginning Adeline to be the right lady for him, he has his work cut out at his feet because of his previous year’s behavior.
He is a man easily smitten so when twice in a row he finds himself drawn to a debutante, it is obvious the previous season didn’t taught him much. But when he first was attracted to a diamond of the first water lady, here he finds his new objet of desire very beautiful when she is only pretty in the eyes of the others.
Up to him to show her he can be someone she can relate on and not the rake she came to believe he is.
Frits knows he acted badly when he left, the lady he had risen hope for a possible match between them, without a word of explanation. A very wrong move when now his new lady love is friend from said abandoned miss.
Why he will have to work twice as harder to prove Adeline he is more than the rake she supposed he is.
Adeline is very naive, instantly siding her friend when she forgets everyone is two sides of a coin. Why she chastises herself each time she enjoys her time with Frits. Each new encounter showing she has more in common with him than her other prospect, but as she has already labeled him as not suitable, she is also blind to every evidence her other suitor is far from perfect.

This is a tale of few actions as the author follows her characters from ballroom to daily calls, Park rides and visits at Gunther ...
In this retailing of the Haute ton’s day-to-day life with its schemings and intrigues, Mrs Ella Quinn takes her time establishing her many protagonists and their games with each others.
Why at time, I skipped some pages to go a bit faster in the plot as this book was a long wooing story even if the heroine was not aware of it, very naive of her.

3.75 rounded up to 4 stars.
I was granted an advance copy by the publisher Kensington. Here is my true and unbiased opinion.

I enjoyed this book from the first page to the last. Great story and characters. You know it will be a great when you get transported into the story. Which you definitely do!!

I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Ella Quinn has been hit or miss for me and this one was a miss unfortunately. I need a good story to jump up and catch me within the first chapter and this one failed to do so even by the 8% mark. The synopsis drew me in, but reality didn't match up. I dont give up on the author though because historical romance is my go to genre read. Thanks for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks to NetGalley and Kensingtonbooks for a copy of this to read and review. Lord Littleton had a disaster last year when looking for a wife. This year he immediately is drawn to Lady Adeline but sadly for him one of her best friends is the lady Littleton ran from last year. When Adeline hears of women plotting to trap him she has to warn him. Adeline is everything Littleton wants but now he just needs to convince her he is not a rake! The beginning dragged for this book. I eventually got hooked but some of it dragged. Also the story is told from three different perspectives, where two would have been plenty. I wish I had read some of her other books. It would have been fun to recognize the other characters. Comes out March 31. Overall 🌟🌟🌟

I really didn’t like this book. I found Frits insipid. He seemed so weak and pathetic. I also was not a huge fan of Lady Adeline. She was slightly better than Frits didn’t seem to know her own mind. I received an ARC from netgalley for an honest review.

I absolutely loved this book. Littleton is so funny. And Adeline was a joy to get to know. I laughed so hard at the ball scene when they were talking about cow's and pig's. Thank you Netgalley for this advanced copy.

Ella Quinn hits it again with The Most Eligible Lord in London. The characters are lovable, real and sympathetic. The plot is purely and satisfyingly Regency coupled with a daring subplot about slavery. Adeline is leery of Frits because he hurt her friend last season but Frits is decidedly in love with Adeline. They have so much in common including humorous pig tales! It takes poor Frits all season and so many antics to win her over.
This is a dear and humorous love story and I would highly recommend it to my patrons.

The Most Eligible Lord in London (The Lords of London #1) by Ella Quinn 4 stars

This is a brand new series by Ella Quinn and an offshoot from her Marriage Game series. In fact it takes place around the same time as "The Marquis She's Been Waiting For". I enjoy Ms. Quinn's Regencies and this one was an engaging read. It is nice that a character from a prior book (Littleton) gets his own HEA. Both Littleton and Adeline are trying to find their life partners among their peers amidst the constraints that is Polite Society. I especially loved Max the dog, it added some whimsy to the story. . Some of the best parts of the book was the matchmaking mamas lending a hand towards their hapless children. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Thank you Netgalley and Kensington Books for this ARC.

Adeline and Littleton are two of my very favorite characters in this book. I love the way the author weaves the stories of more than one book together so that you feel like you know all of them. Ms. Quinn continues to write romances that thrill the reader.

This was my first read by Ella Quinn. I found the story to be "sweet", but it just didn't grab me. There were too many things going on and it all moved too slowly for my taste. The Hero and Heroine were likable, and obviously meant for each other, but the courtship was just too tame. 3-1/2 stars. Thank you NetGalley for giving me an ARC for my honest opinion.

If you're after a slow burn and want to actually wonder "will they/won't they?", then this is definitely your kind of romance. Very rarely do you get to read about a relationship travelling naturally from start to finish without being rushed along. I appreciated that. However, I wasn't too keen on seeing so much of the antagonist's perspective (was it just for padding?) and the secondary antagonists who appeared afterwards made the end of the novel feel tacked on. But it was very enjoyable before that.

This book has everything one could wish for in a regency romance and I absolutely loved it! The development of Aveline and Fits’ relationship felt authentic and was a delight to read. Both characters are inherently likeable, relatable and so well suited to each other. I couldn’t stop smiling while I read this and enjoyed it so much I finished it in one afternoon. It’s perfect escapism and I really can’t recommend it highly enough!

I received an ARC of "The Most Eligible Lord in London" by Ella Quinn from Netgalley. Ella Quinn is an amazing author. Frederick, Lord Littleton, assumes he is the most eligible lord in London. Lady Adeline is a friend of the lady he "dumped" last season, but also someone much in demand by other gentlemen looking for a wife. They learn to love and trust and protect each other.

The Most Eligible Lord In London is a phenomenal historical romance by Ella Quinn. Ms. Quinn has provided readers with a well-written book and populated it with an outstanding cast of characters. Adeline is having her first season and has a tight-knit group of friends. When she finds one of her friends has been hurt by Frits, Lord Littleton, she tries to avoid him. Frits was entranced by Adeline and knows he's going to have to work at getting her to let him court her. Their story is packed with drama, humor, sexy bits and suspense. I totally enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading more from Ella Quinn in the future. The Most Eligible Lord In London is book 1 of The Lords of London Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Adeline is getting ready for her come out when she is introduced to Lord Littleton. Frits is trying hard to overcome his mistake last season. Now that he has decided who would be his perfect wife he has to prove himself. Cute fun read with some drama added to it.

Meh. I didn’t like that the hero was obsessed with the heroine almost immediately since that was his big mistake the previous season. I also didn’t like the third POV from the other suitor.

This is one of those times when I wish I ratings had half stars as I would rate this a 3 1/2. The Most Eligible Lord in London was a good book. In particular, I appreciated that the author doesn't rush into things with her characters, making the relationship build feel all that more realistic. Adeline and Frits are both in town for the season. This is Adeline's first time out and she's not always sure what to think of it all. Frits, on the other hand, has had more experience and even went so far as to mislead a young lady in the former season...much to his regret. As the two come together, there is a slow-build to their relationship as they are both cautious for various reasons. In the meantime, Crispin is also in pursuit of Adeline and you have quite the triangle present throughout the season.

What I had a hard time with was that it ran just a little too long. Partly because the author throws in a bit of side story towards the end that really dragged things along and really could have been left out and partly because Adeline is just a little too slow for me on trusting her instincts with Frits. It got frustrating at times. In the end, it was an enjoyable novel and different from others I've read which is always refreshing. The Most Eligible Lord in London is a first in a new series for Quinn and one I would recommend to others. I look forward to the next in the series.
