★★★★★ “New romance author Anna St. Claire delivers in the Earl of Weston. Her writing style is fluid and the addition of the co-author did not detract in the reading. Both molded perfectly and the story came out as a fun reading experience. I really wasn’t sure what to think about Hattie’s character in the beginning. She is slightly standoffish and brittle, but she totally grew on me as the story progressed. She grew enough as a character where she didn’t lose who she was but she did soften in her demeanor. Hattie's personality was slowly revealed and I found myself liking her with each turn of the page. I love an author who puts her characters through the ringer. Hattie has all sorts of things happen to her in the first couple chapters alone! Poor Hattie, but oh, it was so much fun to read. It really gets interesting when she meets Edward and his friend. I don’t think I remember the last time I truly laughed out loud reading a Historical Romance. The one character that really made this story was Archie the parrot. With his penchant for repeating everything he hears (swearwords being his favorite) he tortures anyone within his vicinity with his presence. Well, maybe torture is too harsh of a word? Nah. “Bugger. Whoremongers! Bugger. Whoremongers!” ~Archie the parrot. I also appreciated that there wasn’t insta-love/attraction. With Hattie being not your run of the mill histrom heroine, Edward wasn’t just thinking about sex. His thought process was basically “what the heck was that? and she’s crazy.” (not his words but mine, hehe). Their first meeting was so funny that even he couldn’t stop thinking about her. So it wasn’t all about looks and attraction, but the uniqueness of her character and her little winged friend. Archie, the ever lovable matchmaker. Along with the humorous aspects there were equal parts suspense and intrigue. Weeks later, I’m still thinking about this book. It’s a short and quick read, but quite unforgettable due to the characters themselves, but also because the authors knew what they were doing. Overall, I really look forward to reading more from this author.” ~ Crickett

★★★★★ “I've just finished reading The Earl of Weston, and easily give it five stars!! I instantly became immersed in the storyline, and loved the character of Hattie. Hattie is forced out of her home with only a few small possessions, and her pet bird, Archie. Archie is delightful. Archie’s one-sided conversations reminded me of things I’ve often thought, but never had the nerve to say out loud. His comments will keep you in stitches. Hattie continuously finds herself involved in all types of chaos at every turn. This story will make you feel as if you are with the characters as you’re reading along. This was the author's first book, and I'm looking forward to the next one. Anna St. Claire is an excellent author. Do yourself a favor and order this book. I know you’ll enjoy it as much as I did!” ~ Susan
★★★★★ “Anna St. Claire & Lauren Harrison's story was a hoot! I was laughing so hard in parts that my husband thought I had company!

★★★★★ “This was an entertaining and easy read. It was also hilariously funny at times. Archie the Parrot was the best. He pretty much stole the show in every scene that he was in.

★★★★★ “I love this fun and romantic story! St. Claire is a master at weaving in humor and love. I can't wait to read the next one!” ~ CSorenson
​
★★★★★ “This was the most charming, funniest Wicked Earl books I've read. I smiled through the whole book and actually laugh out loud several times. It was refreshing to read a Regency romance that wasn't laden with the angst ridden, page after page, droning of tortured characters. I truly hope to see more of this type of romance from Regency authors. How could you not love a gas passing, singing, matchmaking donkey; the kindhearted Lady of the manor who takes in abandoned children and animals and a wonderfully gentlemanly and tongue in cheek Earl who is kind enough to rescue the poor, little abandoned animal. Throw into the mix a refreshing honest, straightforward, and adorable little girl with the cutest lisps ever. Two aged, but indomitable ladies of the ton, who wield their sharp barbs at each other, as well as a cane and a frying pan at others, with a finesse that would put the best swordsman to shame. The Earl's best friend who is just along for the show and a fast thinking, whip smart stable boy who knows much and sees more and you have a funny, heartwarming story that leaves you with a smile and a happy glow.” ~ Amazon Customer
★★★★★ “The most perfect Christmas story that captured my heart and spirit! Anna St Clair has outdone herself with her magical words bringing forth moments that meld together finding happiness when least expected and the true meaning of Christmas. When Thomas, Earl of Bergen stops at an Inn on his way to London, he would never have thought his life would change forever. A charming donkey he named Clarence (yes loved him) with a magical talisman hanging around his neck, a widower who takes care of helpless animals and children of her deceased husband’s and a Christmas play, kept me unable to stop reading until the last page was turned. Did it make my heart smile? Oh yes and then some. Thank you Anna!!” ~ Lori Dykes
​
★★★★★ “This was a delightful story of an Earl, a widow and a donkey named Clarence. It was the first book I’ve read by Anna St. Clair, but won’t be my last. It captured my heart from the first page to the last. There was humor, mystery, danger, Christmas spirit, and of course, love. The characters were well developed and secondary characters were as well. Especially the cross-eyed smiling donkey named Clarence. I couldn’t put it down. Read this and you will be glad you did. Five well deserved stars. Thank you Ms. St. Clair for a endearing and heartfelt read. It left me smiling.” ~ bhughesrn

A determined spinster…

Sparks fly as proximity forces them together, the better to know each other.
★★★★★ “It was a fast paced, easy read. I loved the secondary characters. They had depth and emotion. The villain was believable. The love story was sweet but you felt the passion between the couple. The couple had an electric attraction. The children were adorable. The plot was fresh and stood out in this genre which can get repetitive at times. I really enjoyed this book and will read more of this author and of the Wicked Earls’ Club series.” ~ Jenna Lee
​
★★★★★ “This story is full of humor, but also has action, danger, drama, and a kidnapping (and rescue). Most of the characters are witty and engaging. The staff at the orphanage and the children were absolutely delightful. Colin and Nora are fantastic together even when they’re fighting. I like the changes in Colin as he works with the orphanage. This entertaining story holds your attention and has a brilliant epilogue. I enjoyed it.” ~ PeggyC51
★★★★★ “I have just discovered this author. And so far I just love her books. This is a sweet clean romance.” ~ Jeannie Long
​
★★★★★ “THE EARL OF SHEFFORD by Anna St. Claire is a delightful romance that combines a deceitful card game wager, a dowager countess, a houseful of orphans, a loving headmistress and, of course, an Earl. And, oh, yes— a love story to make you sigh. Actually, the Earl of Shefford comes first, as the story opens with him in a card game, where he wins the deed to a building. The loser is not only a rather poor loser, but also a rather corrupt one, as well. The houseful of orphans is generously subsidized by the dowager Countess, who is grandmother to the loving headmistress. How this combination of characters results in a sigh-worthy love story is as close to magic as any I’ve ever read! I greatly enjoyed every bit and can wholeheartedly recommend it. That I was gifted a pre-release copy has not prevented me from providing an honest and personal opinion. You’ll better understand how easily I can admit this when you, too, have read THE EARL OF SHEFFORD. It truly is that good!” ~ Mary K.
​
★★★★★ “Wonderful story and well written. The story kept you reading to find out who wanted to shut them down. And the children were such a nice addition to the story. Considering the hardships they faced, they were so sweet and kind. Nicely done.” ~ Theresa25
