author:  Megan Frampton 
description: &#8220;Megan Frampton always shines!&#8221; (Sabrina Jeffries, New York Times bestselling author)<br /><br />&#8220;Frampton&#8217;s romance has charm to spare, and readers will find it impossible to resist her flawless characterization, fanciful plotting, and deliciously fizzy wit.&#8221; (Booklist)<br /><br />&#8220;Frampton superbly balances passion with humor, avoiding clich&#233; through rich characterization. The result is warm, kindhearted, and utterly delightful.&#8221; (Publishers Weekly <strong>(starred review)</strong>)<br /><br />&#8220;exquisitely written, fast-paced, and -- I would not dare call them sex scenes -- the lovemaking is sublimely erotic, sensual, and deliciously wicked. Megan Frampton was a new author to me, and with WHEN EARLS GO BAD, she has gained a new devoted fan. A must- read for historical fiction lovers!&#8221; (Fresh Fiction)
