Description from the publisher:
For two years following the death of her beloved husband, Eugenia, the Dowager Duchess of Kendal has grieved and kept to herself. Her cousin is hosting a house party and has persuaded Genie to attend—it’s the perfect opportunity to emerge from mourning. Genie is looking forward to seeing old friends but is shocked when she learns the true purpose of the occasion: to match widowed ladies with widowed and unmarried gentlemen.
 
Once infatuated with a young Eugenia Aldwick, Edmund Holt, Earl of Satterfield is thrilled when Genie arrives at the matchmaking house party. Mutual attraction sparks between them immediately, however he is in need of a wife who can provide an heir and she is unable to do so. Genie would also dearly love to be a mother after losing her daughter several years before. Can they embrace a second chance at love or will the demands of his title and the pull of her maternal heart prove too strong to ignore?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE BACHELOR EARL is the thirteenth book in the Untouchables series and a prequel story.  Since I’m a rare Darcy Burke reader who has not read any of the other Untouchable stories, I am in a unique position to affirm that this does stand alone without knowing the other characters and their stories.
 
What a beautiful second-chance love story. 
 
Eugenia “Genie” has already had one love match and lived twenty years with her husband before losing him and going into mourning.  Edmund was infatuated with her back then, when they were so much younger, but he didn’t pursue her.  She was “the one that got away” without ever knowing it. 
 
As I said, I haven’t read any of this popular series, but now I want them ALL.
 
Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via NetGalley, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
