This is a funny, funny book. Rachel, the heroine, is a viscount's eldest of three daughters. She has been running her father's estates since she was a young girl and that's all she has ever wanted to do. She had thought that now she was in her twenties she was safely on the shelf. But when the Marquis of Cargrave blackmails his American grandson into staying in England to be his heir everything changes for both Jason and Rachel. They are being pushed into a marriage that neither wants. Despite their antipathy toward each other (a feeling that gradually morphs into something quite different) they decide to work together to outwit the old men who are pressuring them. And the struggle becomes an epic game of "chess."

The Honorable Miss Rachel Fairchild is horrified to learn that a colonial nobody is the new Earl of Falconridge. She wonders how this Jason Beaumont from America will know the proper deportment of an English aristocrat when he was living in some barbaric land. To make matters worse for the athletic Rachel, her father expects her to marry this ¿American nobody¿. From the moment they meet with Rachel lying in mud staring up at Jason, sparks fly, not all positive. In fact more are negative as Rachel makes it clear how she classifies this intruder. Jason sees Rachel as a hellcat probably not worth the trouble, but taming this shrew sounds so sweet. As they fall in love encouraged by their families, neither he nor Rachel ever expected that she would tame him. YANKEE EARL is an exciting historical romance that the audience will enjoy due to the intelligent acerbic exchanges (perhaps barbs might be more accurate) between the two lead protagonists. Though similar tales have been told, Shirl Henke¿s entry stands out due to the strong cast from the lead dueling duo to the meddling matchmakers from each respective family to the shocked Ton not sure how to react to the behavior of Jason and Rachel. This battle of the sexes is fun to observes as this is one time a tie is a win for both participants and the reader. Harriet Klausner

Thank you for a great story. I could not put it down. Needless to say, I'm pretty much cross eyed about now, lol.. Great characters too. Rachel was one darn lucky woman. Keep writing. Can't wait to read Fox'es story. Michele Carroll

I really had started to like the story, thinking they were a witty/snarky pair. However, the constant badgering of hateful words literally became more abusive. At first, their interplay was cute and witty, but with Jason and Rachel constantly belittling each other, it left a bad taste in the mouth. There was no way I could believe that they were falling in love with the constant hatefulness they were spouting at each other all the way to the end of the book, then suddenly they loved each other? Others may see this differently, but this is not the book or series for me.

Not as predictable as I first thought. A fun romance with long running sexual tension. Great character development and descriptive writing.

Thanks so much for the free book! Yankee Earl has been thoroughly enjoyed. I have read and consider all of Shirl Henke's books to be five star ratings! All of her books that I have read so far have been excellent, with well thought out plot's and superb editing. What more could you possibly want, Oh I know !!! More Shirl Henke's books.
