While I don’t like the title, I enjoyed the book very much. Why the Earl Is After the Girl by Tabetha White involves a deceased jeweler’s daughter who has been cheated out of her inheritance. She is befriended by an Earl and offered a governess’ position with the Earl’s sister. The character development is great, not just for the protagonists, but for a cast of supporting characters as well. I expect that some of the supporting characters will be protagonist in future books. In addition to the romantic plot, there are a variety of subplots that keep you turning the page—recovering a missing jewel, recovering the stolen inheritance, a villainous white slave trader. The editing is well done. There were only a couple of places that left something to be desired. While this is a fairly long book, it is worth the time and effort. I will be looking for additional books from this author.
