![]() ![]() Maxwell Derring, the Earl of Dane, is a young man who takes his responsibilities to his title and his country very seriously. The only life she’s really ever known is the one she lives now – harsh and grim, living in the slums with the gang and in fear of their brutal leader, Satin. She has a very dim recollection of once being called by a different name and of living a different life, but has learned to dismiss them as mere dreams. Marlowe belongs to one of the many gangs of thieves that inhabit that area of London – the Covent Garden Cubs – and is one of the best pickpockets and housebreakers in the gang. ![]() The story is, at first glance, a simple cross-class romance with a bit of Pygmalion thrown in as her Eliza – Marlowe, a thief from Seven Dials – gets to see how the other half lives when she is abducted from the streets by an investigator hired to trace the whereabouts of a girl who went missing fifteen years earlier. ![]() ![]() Shana Galen’s new Covent Garden Cubs series gets off to a terrific start with Earls Just Want to Have Fun which is – fortunately – a book with much more emotional depth than it’s overly cutesy title would seem to suggest. ![]()
