Euphemia aka Phee just wants to leave the London season as soon as possible to escape the gossiping Ton but she is determined to stay and help her best friend Harriet find her match this season. James the Earl of Fairmont, Harriet’s brother, thinks Phee is only going to make trouble and doesn’t like her meddling in his sisters love life. Their strong wills have them butting heads until they realize that perhaps the sparks flying between them aren’t just from anger. This is a cute story for anyone who likes romance with a little bit of sauciness. This is the 5th book in the series (the first 4 are Phee’s sisters books) and even though I hadn’t read them the plot was easy enough to follow and I’ll likely go back and read the first 4. I do think James’ character could have used more character development because I don’t feel like I knew much about him or why we acted the way he did but it was still an enjoyable read.

Here Comes My Earl by Anna Bradley is book 5 in the Games Earls Play Series. This is the story of James and Euphemia. Euphemia is ready to leave the town and got to the country but first she must see that Harriett Fairmont has a successful season. But then Harriett's brother James enters the picture.

This is the fifth book in this series. This last one is the oldest Templeton sister, Euphemia’s, story. In London to help Harriet and Lady Fosbury (whom I love), she comes head to head with Harriet’s brother, James. After scolding James that he needs to be more of a gentleman towards Harriet’s beau, Euphemia and James suddenly become more friendly. I loved these two together. I loved that James brought Euphemia’s fiery side forth & I loved that she brought James to smile. This was a great conclusion and a series that I loved.

A lovely story about how wonderful it is to have someone really *see* you, especially if you're trying to be invisible because you've been hurt. When someone actually takes the time to look past all the surface stuff, and sees down to your true self, and then accepts you and is your biggest cheerleader. Anna Bradley is a great writer. I've recently been lucky enough to discover her books. This is the second one I've read and I am very impressed. You don't need to have read the other books in the series to enjoy this book.
Thank you to netgalley for the ARC. Opinions are my own.

Euphemia Templeton is counting the days till she can leave the London marriage season behind and rusticate in the country where she is happiest in the company of her younger sisters who have all married and settled down with their families.

She promised her good friend, Lady Harriet Fairmont to assist her find a suitable match in her second season after an unfortunate previous season when her recommendation was not a success.

Harriett's elder brother, James, the Earl of Fairmont comes to London with his sister and aunt to ensure that history does not repeat itself. This is where the fun begins with Euphemia and James. After saving Euphemia from a potentially bad carriage accident, James "sees her" for the first time and cannot help but feel drawn to her - even though he keeps fighting the attraction. For her part, Phee finds his arrogance and condescending behaviour too much and puts him in his place, which creates a few LOL moments.

The secondary characters, namely Harriett and her sweet Lord Gilbert are a bonus that ensures everyone has their own HEA. A sweet read all around with just a little spice from the reaction of the ton when Phee turns up in a stunning gown. This gives Phee the courage to see that their opinions do not matter one bit and become the strong woman she has always been.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and submit a voluntary review.

4 1/2 stars. This was a fun story. Phee was tasked with finding a match for Harriet, whose brother came along to approve any match. Antics ensue, missed opportunities and misunderstandings, and fate won out overall. I loved how Phee knew that she really did not have the skills for this job, but she did her best for Harriet, finally realizing that love did not follow rules. She struggled with her own feelings for James. James tried to fight his feelings for Phee but love was stronger. They were a great couple.

I received an ARC through Netgalley, and this is my unsolicited review.

Anna Bradley has created a rich world and I could not put this down. While it was not perfect, I can see many folx getting hooked on her writing.

I really enjoyed James and Euphemia's story. It was so much fun watching these two banter and butt heads!

I received an advanced reader's copy of Here Comes My Earl by Anna Bradley from the publisher and author via NetGalley.

This is a light, enemies to lovers novella. Euphemia’s character growth was clearly shown through her learning to face her fears in various situations. James doesn’t like Euphemia at the start of the story since she’s in London to help his sister find a match and Euphemia’s previous attempt to matchmake had been a disaster. His feelings for her change as they spend time together, as does his stance when it comes to matters involving his sister.

The romance didn’t feel rushed to me since the progression was shown through the inner thoughts of Euphemia and James throughout the story.

I recommend this book for anyone looking for a quick, enjoyable historical romance read.

James, Lord Fairmont, wants his sister to marry the gentleman he's chosen. After her disaster last season, he only wants her settled.
Harriet has other ideas. She already has a gentleman she loves. James blames Miss Euphemia Templeton for the disaster last season by playing matchmaker. Phee regrets any part she played, but she loses her temper over his rudeness to Harriet's gentleman. She puts him his place. No one is more surprised than James and finds himself intrigued by the lady. Who knew she had a temper! Who knew he would fall in love with the lady. A waltz and a blue dress give her courage to stand up for what she wants. Very romantic with humor and moves quickly to a happy ending. The last book in the series. Descriptive sex.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book from NetGalley.

Here Comes My Earl is the fifth book in the Games Earls Play series by Anna Bradley and we finally get Euphemia's story! While this is a book 5, I think you could pick this one up and read it as a standalone but I would highly recommend reading all of them so you get everyone's stories.

Euphemia Templeton can’t wait to put the London season behind her forever, but before she can retire to the country in blessed obscurity, she has one final promise to keep. She must find a proper match for Lady Harriett Fairmont, who is beginning her second season and relying on Phee's matchmaking skills to help her along. Unfortunately for Phee, Harriett's elder brother James joins her in London and she starts to regret giving her word as she finds James to be arrogant and way too handsome for her tastes.

James doesn’t believe in matchmaking and he doesn’t approve of the man Harriet has her eye on. Despite all the things that draw him to her, he doesn't trust Phee and he'll do whatever he needs to in order to protect his sister. That said, James realizes fairly quickly that there is more to Phee than her role as the eldest Templeton sister and I loved how Bradley built up the relationship between them.

That said, I also loved Phee. As the oldest Templeton, it was never really clear what her story was, just that her mother's reputation caused enough of a scandal to make things difficult enough for her that she never really had a chance to make a match. From then on, she dedicated herself to her sisters and helping them make their own matches.

If you've not picked up the other books in this series yet, I recommend you do as they are all quick and engaging reads but if you don't have the time, you can still read this one as a standalone so check it out. I'll continue to pick up more books by Bradley in the future.

Another great story from Anna Bradley. Phee is on her way to becoming a spinster. She just has one more friend to help matchmake. Alot of ups and downs along the way and one irritating man. She gets her happily ever after that's just right for her.

This newest romance from this series is a winner in my book. Filled with characters that are well written, and a romance plot that makes you want to have your tea, and blanket so you can just snuggle into the story.

This latest one is for the final sister in the Earl series; and an Earl of the ton that is the elder brother of one of our protagonist’s friends. Euphemia Templeton is considered a matchmaker, but her skills are not truly appreciated by said Earl (or the ton) as Phee’s friend Harriett navigates the season looking for her perfect match. Though Harriett is already in love, Phee must help convince James, Harriett’s brother the Earl, to accept the man she has chosen, especially since James considered him a buffoon and not worthy of his sister. James has a different match in mind; one Harriett is not happy to wed. To convince the Earl that his choice is not viable, and Harriett’s is the one, Phee decides it is the Earl that needs to be matched, but with Harriett’s love, not a woman. She figures he will fall in love with him if he can just get to know him. But, in the process, Phee begins to get close to James, and she herself is reluctantly caught up in the season, and her own whirlwind of emotions.

This is an excellent romance. Just enough titillation to entice, but not distract from the story. The characters are ones you want to get to know better, and become friends with as you turn the page. It is a good beach read, or one to read by the cozy fire.

As the listing shows, this is the 5th book in the series, but each book is a stand alone. You can read the others, and I highly recommend that you do, but it is not necessary. This story has strength on its own. Reading the others would give you touch points for the other sisters mentioned, but you will not be lost.

I recommend this book for fans of this author as well as romance readers. It is worth the read.

Another fun and exciting romance story. I love the not so heavy drama among the two families. The most entertaining part of the story is when the two main characters first meet and it’s almost instantly love, except for these two, they have known of each other. I really loved the humor of the story. The writing is awesome. The story is great.

I enjoyed this book. I thought Phee was a great character and I really loved her. As for James, well sometimes I liked him and sometimes I did not. In the end though he did manage to steal into my heart. These two are just the type of very sparky and bickering couple that easily kept me engaged and entertained.

Phee is the oldest of five Templeton sisters who have lived under a scandal caused by their mother. She is the last of them who remains unmarried. She has agreed to help Lady Harriet Fairmont. James, Earl of Fairmont, has two problems with his sister’s attitude towards making a match. She doesn’t want anything to his choice of suitor, and she has brought in Euphemia Templeton to assist her with the season. Phee and James butted heads from the moment he arrived. Even as they spar, they become attracted to each other. The chemistry between them sparks. James and Phee are likable characters. He is a caring, protective brother. He becomes the same for Phee when he sees how the ton treats her. Phee is smart, courageous in the face of scandal, and caring. James’s Aunt Fosberry, Harriet, and Gilly (Harriet’s favored suitor) are delightfully entertaining. This is an enjoyable romance and a wonderful ending for the series. The epilogue brings the sisters and their families together in the ultimate happy ending.

Here comes My Earl is the last of the Templeton sisters series. The eldest sister, Euphemia, who considers herself a spinster at the age of 24, comes to London to help her friend Lady Fosberry make a match for her niece, Harriet. Harriet's brother, James, the earl of Fairmont, is convinced he has found the perfect man for his sister. James resents Phee's being in town to serve as matchmaker for Harriet, especially given the last attempt didn't turn out so well. Phee and James have a dislike for each other until they actually start spending time with each other. An attraction between them grows despite their wishes and once they allow themselves to actually get to know each other, they are hopelessly connected. James finds himself assisting Phee get more comfortably being herself amongst the ton as opposed to her usual desire to fade into the woodworks during ton events. It was a wonderful way to end the series seeing Phee find love after she gave up so much of herself while assisting her younger siblings as they matured into adulthood and found a love of their own.

The last of the Templeton sisters has her story. Phee has a tough time of it in London for this season. She's promised to come long & help her friend Harriett find a good man to marry; there had been a small issue last season & Harriett is going to need friends. Phee comes in handy in a couple of ways the first being that she's going to take the heat and interest off poor Harriett. The Templetons mother had run off with her married lover and Phee showing up brought it to the surface again. Phee also has the misfortune to have 4 sisters who have all married Earls or stolen eligible Earls off the marriage market. All this is in her mind each time she leaves the house as she tries to blend into the furniture to protect herself. I truly felt sorry for her, 6 years hiding in the country is hard to shake off. Harriett's stuffy older brother James takes his feelings of pity and flips them into love. I like that his POV is front and center, so we understand how conflicted, scared, confused, and in love he is. James is good at putting his foot in his mouth & insulting Phee unintentionally & it pains him to do so. Their HEA moment is one of the sweetest moments and he proves his worth in the end. Sorry to see the sisters stories over but glad they all have nice HEA's. Oh, and Harriett has a lovely HEA of her own.

This was an entertaining, well-written book. It was fun, sweet and held my interest. I wanted to keep reading to find out what would happen. I enjoyed this book and will look for more books by this author.

Finally, Phee gets her turn!

I have loved all the books in this series, and I think the author saved the best for last! Phee is the eldest of the five Templeton sisters, plagued by scandal not of their own making but the society gossips don't care about that. I loved how Phee held her head high and didn't let those Mean Girls get to her.

James is the elder brother of Phee's friend, Harriett. He's determined to arrange a suitable marriage for his sister, while Phee is equally determined to make sure Harriett is free to marry for love. I really loved the way Phee directed James to help things along with the gentleman Harriett has her eye on, rather than continuing in his obstructionist ways. In helping him to see Harriett more clearly, James also began to understand Phee much better. I really enjoyed this angle to their budding relationship.

Of course we still have Lady Fosberry along for the ride, quite literally in the opening scene, and as an older woman myself I appreciated her role in the storyline. The epilogue was delightful, wrapping everything up for the entire series nicely. If you enjoy sweet historical romances with a little bit of steam, I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
