Debut author Eva Leigh shines brightly with FOREVER YOUR EARL.

Eleanor Hawke writes the most notorious gossip in her paper, The Hawke's Eye. Zeroing in on the popular Earl of Ashford, Daniel Balfour, she is more than shocked when he shows up at her office and offers her a chance to see for herself that what she is printing is not the truth. Eleanor finds herself given access to places she never dreamed of entering, but more than that she discovers that Daniel is so much more than what he appears. The attraction simmers between them until it explodes with passion. She cannot imagine a life with him, with her being a commoner and a working woman, but her heart never asked what was proper.

Daniel knows he must put a stop to the attention these stories are generating. He has a secret mission that is threatened by all the press. Offering Eleanor a chance to see his side of things will also allow him to continue searching for his missing friend. Disguising her as a man will allow him to bring her with him, but it doesn't stop the attraction. The real obstacle is their class differences, so in the end will it cause the end of their relationship or will they go against the grain for each other?

The first book shows that Eva Leigh is an author to watch. The witty banter, unique plot elements and lovely characters will keep this book in readers hands until the end. I found some parts laugh out loud humorous, as well as the building tension between the two. Looking forward to seeing what this author brings us next.
