About this ebook

Why did he need love if he had gold?

The Earl of Goldthwaite had spent his entire adult life accumulating wealth. It was his life’s goal to never end up as his father had, penniless and rotting in some debtor’s prison. He has no time for such silly notions as love or romance. When he eventually marries, he’ll find a nice heiress to increase his holdings. But then Miss Penny Walters waltzes into his life, he knows she’s all wrong for him. As poor as her name implies, she’s nothing that he wanted. Just another woman attempting to part him from his gold. So why can’t he look away?

Who needed gold when her heart was rich with love?

Penny’s life had been charmed, at least she’d always believed so. Though her parents had little assets, they’d had enough to be comfortable and their home had been rich with affection. Which was how she’d determined to live the rest of her life. With her whole heart. Her first task was to open an orphanage in a poor London neighborhood. One that would give back to the community. The problem? She needed a loan to make her dream come true. And the one man she might be able to ask for such a sum was…

The miserly Earl of Gold.

It filled her with sick dread but what choice did she have? What she never expected was to find herself drawn to such a man. He’s nothing that she ever wanted and everything she wished to stand against. But the longer she knows him, the more she wonders… Is there a soft heart under that hard-shiny veneer of gold?

Ratings and reviews

Earl of Gold is an outstanding historical romance by Tammy Andresen. This is a fairly quick read, perfect for those with limited reading time. Ms. Andresen has given readers a well-written book. The characters are a delight and make this story only better. Logan, the Earl of Goldthwaite, concentrates on increasing his wealth after his father left him penniless. Penny was sent to an orphanage after her father's death and hated it. Now she has little money but dreams of taking care of the children she's taken in and creating her own orphanages. Logan and Penny's story is packed with drama, humor, action, spice and suspense. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading more from Tammy Andresen soon. Earl Of Gold is book 7 of the Lords of Scandal Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from Bookfunnel. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Hard-bitten and angry with the world, Logan, the Earl of Goldthwaite has pulled himself up out of the mire and intends to show members of society that he is every bit as good as they are. He is known for his ruthless dealings in business, but despite the wealth he has accumulated, he has still not won the respect and admiration of his peers. A meeting with the Duke of Darlington, whom we have previously met, steers him in a new direction, one that brings about a change of mind and heart. Miss Penny Walters needs funds to run her orphanage and Darlington pairs her up with the Earl of Gold. Even though he has no intention of having any personal dealings with Penny, Logan finds himself becoming protective towards her, shielding her from bullies in her neighourhood, and ultimately finding solutions to her problems. One cannot help but feel for Logan and the battles he has fought, however it is Penny's nobel spirit and loving heart that truly work their magic. This heartwarming story is more than a romance, as it brings to the fore the nature of a love that has the power to melt hardened hearts and change lives. The novel is well written and entertaining and although part of a series, is a standalone and comes to a happy conclusion. I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

i enjoyed this book. This is a story of wealth and poverty and love.
