Karl Vinter joins the staff at Crofton Hall as the new under butler. He’s too busy to bother with relationships, but he’s more than happy to explore a friends with benefits arrangement with gardener, Val Blake. He couldn’t imagine a more perfect way to settle into is his new life at Crofton Hall. Pity pesky things like feelings start to get in the way.

Meanwhile, Ben Redbourn, 16th Earl of Crofton, is trying to find the perfect way to propose to Ashley, his boyfriend. He’s going to need all the help he can get, especially after at least one misstep and that he’s never given Ashley any indication he wants to get married.

This is the third Modern Crofton novel, featuring Benjamin Redbourn, the 16th Earl of Crofton and descendant of Anthony Redbourn, 1st Earl of Crofton from my historical series, The Crofton Chronicles.

About The Author

Copy of Logo

REBECCA COHEN spends her days dreaming of a living in a Tudor manor house, or a Georgian mansion. Alas, the closest she comes to this is through her characters in her historical romance novels. She also dreams of intergalactic adventures and fantasy realms, but because she’s not yet got her space or dimensional travel plans finalised, she lives happily in leafy Hertfordshire, England, with her husband and young son. She can often be found with a pen in one hand and sloe gin with lemon tonic in the other.

With contemporaries, historicals, sci fi and fantasy in her back catalogue, there should be something for every taste in Rebecca’s work.

It’s the staff’s turn to fall in love at Crofton Hall

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I do like visiting Crofton Hall, whether that’s in the past with Anthony and Sebastian, or now with Ben, the current Earl of Crofton and his wonderful events manager Ashley.

In this book we get a double romance with the new focus being on Under Butler Karl and one of the estate gardeners Val. There’s a small age gap element but it’s more a hurt/comfort romance as the younger Val has not long been out of a very toxic relationship.

I loved the way Karl quickly assimilated into life at the Hall, as if he’d always been there. He’s a wonderfully kind man and has been badly bruised by the events which happened at his previous employers when we meet him.

In contrast, Val is outwardly outgoing and friendly, but he’s hiding a lot of internal trauma caused by his gaslighting ex boyfriend. When the two of them are clearly attracted to each other, they slip into what’s supposed to be a casual friends with benefits relationship.

Of course, it soon becomes anything but and with the parallel story of Ben and Ashley muddling over their future together, each trying to find the perfect time to propose to the other, we get a narrative which meanders through the two different relationships with ease.

There are, of course, trials and tribulations on the way, but they’re deftly handled and soon both pairs are sailing closer to their happy ever afters. We also get to catch up with Dara and Nathan, as well as get an introduction to Ashley’s ex Jack, who will be featuring in book four of the series.

Whenever Rebecca goes back to Crofton Hall I feel like I’m taking a trip with old friends. I love the warmth that’s at the heart of these books, intermingled with snippets from the past lives of the previous Earls of Crofton.

It makes reading them an enjoyable experience and this one is no different.

#ARC kindly received from the author in return for an honest and unbiased review

As ever, I beta read this book for Rebecca.

Blurb

Crofton Hall is buzzing with anticipation for the filming of the Secret Histories TV special about a scandalous affair that has been hidden for over four hundred years.

The hall’s new historian, Dara Callaghan, is drawn not just by the hall’s rich history but to TV producer, Nathan Lorimer. Nathan is finally ready to start dating again, several years after the death of his husband. There’s something about Dara, a quietly spoken Irishman, and the romance that surrounds Crofton Hall, that makes him want to take a chance.

Meanwhile, Ben Redbourn, 16th Earl of Crofton, is trying to persuade his boyfriend Ashley Niven that he’d like to don doublet and hose and play Sebastian to his Anthony. But Ashley’s not having any of it… until someone else agrees to the take the part of the 1st Earl of Crofton’s lover.

*This is the second Modern Crofton novel, featuring Benjamin Redbourn, the 16th Earl of Crofton and descendant of Anthony Redbourn, 1st Earl of Crofton from my historical series, The Crofton Chronicles. While designed to be read as a standalone, events that lead to this novel follow chronologically from Saving Crofton Hall.

Trigger warnings: discussion of grief and dealing with bereavement
