When an Earl Meets a Girl by Lauren Royal Book Summary

♥  A nobleman and a common girl
♥  A close-knit, meddling family
♥  A trunkful of jewelry
♥  A dastardly kidnapping
♥  Steamy romance!

From New York Times bestselling author Lauren Royal comes the first novel in her beloved series featuring the “outrageously funny, loyal, compassionate, and unconventional” Chase family.

Descended from generations of jewelers, Amethyst Goldsmith loves her craft nearly as much as she loves her family. But she hates that her wedding is mere days away. Amy is promised to her father’s small-minded apprentice, the last man on earth she could ever love, honor, or especially obey. But the date is set, the dress is ordered, and there’s no way out—until the devastating Great Fire of 1666 sweeps through London, shattering her workaday world and recasting her fate…

Colin Chase, the Earl of Greystone, doesn’t believe in fate. He believes in hard work and securing his family’s future, which means marrying the wealthy, high-born Lady Priscilla Snobs—er, Hobbs. When he rescues a lowly jeweler’s daughter from the inferno, he’s only taking pity on a broken young woman. But as the pieces begin to mend, Amy emerges. Beautiful, passionate, playful Amy, who maddeningly captures his family’s hearts. Soon Colin fears that if he lets his guard down for even a moment, he might find his own heart held hostage as well…

Snowed in together at empty, crumbling Greystone Castle, an earl and a common girl can’t help surrendering to desire. But when the dream is over and reality catches up with them, can they find a way to make their two worlds one?

PLEASE NOTE: This book was formerly titled “Amethyst.”

Amethyst book 1 WOW. This book was great, I loved that there was intrigue along with growth and compromise along with love. The family is great and I can't wait to read about the others in the series. I will be sharing this book with my family and friends. It's defiantly worth it!!!

Refreshing Read. If you're tired of the same old romance (or those more like erotica), this is a good book to read. Of course there is passion & in the end they are all blissfully happy - it's told in a way that is simply put, a good read. The characters are well developed & each could be center in a book of their own. I'm most definitely looking for more books from a great author!!

Amethyst, iBooks. Absolutely love this book!!!! Lauren is an amazing author with a wonderful talent.

Echo. Great read. Enjoyed the characters

Amethyst. A really good read. The story held my attention with the way it flowed. Loved the humor. Adored the parts where she didn’t overwhelm us with “draggy” details during long separations.

Nice story. I really liked the characters and the way they seem to love pulling pranks is a very real brother sister thing!! I read this book as a free download and I will be buying the rest of the Chase books, I love this kind of series for the return of previous characters who are as close as the Chases are! Definitely give it a go, if you like this level of romance, you truly won’t regret it 🙂

Amethyst. This the first book I must comment on! It is so sweet and fun, full of just enough suspense and intrigue with just enough heart stopping, breath catching passion! I fell in love with the all the characters. All of them! Well done and I thank you for the journey! As soon as I post this I'm going to look for more of your books. Again I thank you, very well done!

Great story! Loved how strong Amy was! And...loved all the practical jokes.. Enjoyed the book. Would highly recommend.

Kept my Attention. I really enjoyed the family values portrayed within this family. While the setting was centurys ago, it was like a modern read. Couldn’t put it down. I agree the practical jokes were my least favorite part.

Loved it!. This was another hidden gems of a book that I have found through various emails about books. I loved it and could not put it down! Definitely an “adult” book, but the story is even better than the bedroom scenes (and I love me some romance!) Good read! Thank you for writing this Lauren Royal!

Chase Family Adventures. First of all, I must confess that I am a devoted Lauren Royal fan. I enjoy the entertainment that her characters provide with their practical jokes. I love reading about the periods she writes of. I work through the trials that her characters face. I delight in the romance and steam of their relationships. This story of Amy is quite heart-warming. I find the Chase family endearing. You cannot be disappointed if this is what you are looking for, because it is exactly what you will get.

Great Read!. I absolutely Loved this book! From beginning to end it was great! Adventure, romance, drama, fighting, family and a bit of comedy too! There is something for everyone in this story! The plot was amazing and kept my attention from the start. It kept me up way past my bedtime just wanting to know what was going to happen next! I will definitely be ready more from this author!

When and Earl meets a girl. A must read, the story was fantastic!

A stereotypical romance. This book is everything people expect a romance to be, which is either a compliment or not depending on your perspective. Romances can be deeply written, with lush prose and fully realized characters who have some complexity, or they can be the kind of trope that earns the romance genre the reputation it has. This book leans to the latter. The characters are very one dimensional. The story , though decently written, is without substance, even though the characters themselves experience events that are substantial. As a genre , there is no need to constantly reinforce the reputation Romance has for being, well - vapid.

Amethyst. I absolutely loved this book. The author puts so much feeling into this novel.

Interesting all the way thru!. I found the plot unique and wondered about the story even as I was in between readings as I became emotionally involved with the characters!

I'm hooked!. What a great family. I love these types of series. Thank you!

True love. Great love story, but there were times to me to much rambling. When Amy was kidnapped I finally skipped most of it and several more chapters and still didn’t feel I had missed anything.

When a girl meets an earl. Wonderfully heartwarming. You fall in love with the characters and you will find yourself rooting for them to overcome. R. K. Carulli

Amethyst. Good read. Enjoyed the storyline and the characters.

It's a very easy read. Girl comes from a merchant class background with daddy issues. Boy comes from the gentry class. Both are betrothed. They fall in love. Book can't end until they have the happily ever after with a handful of kids. Yup. Thought this book would be different with all the wonderful reviews. It is a very easy read and very predictable but a cute story.

Amethyst. A really good read. It would have been even better without the numerous sexual pages. As a fan of historical novels the plots of the books are always better than average but who needs all of these wasted Love Making scenes? In one paragraph the reader GETS THE PICTURE without being so explicit! That said, Lauren Royal is a great storyteller and I always love her books. Kate

Extremely delightful characters. I love the characters in this book. They are primarily a close, loud, funny family with definite ethics. When London is on fire, the three sons run forward to help fight it with the king. When a young boy runs to them for help when his brother is trapped, Colin runs to help. He ends up rescuing nine children and pays a man for his cart. As they race to escape he hears a familiar voice. Amy is trying to get back in the shop to get to her father who had run up the stairs, but the roof falls in on him. Colin has to put Amy into the cart to keep her safe. This book has everything, suspense, action, turmoil, drama, romance. You really need to read this book.

Entertaining. Lauren Royal has a true gem in Amethyst. The story is riveting. The characters are so well written you wish you could meet them. The time period is richly documented and true to history. Superb read from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Romance with history. I love reading about the Chase family and the times they lived in. When you add in historical figures as well as some actual facts it makes for riveting reading. You bring me right along with them as they progress through life. Thank you so much for your writing ability.

Great book. I enjoyed reading this book. It held up to previous reviews. I would recommend it to the one who enjoys romance and history.

Hmmm. 159 in and getting bored. There over 400 pages. Don’t know if I can get through it.

I enjoyed this book very much!. I loved this book, the characters. There was a lot of love and passion but also full of cute moments that made me smile and also moments where I struggled not to laugh out loud while on the metro heading to work. This is one if this books that I finished reading after I got home because I really wanted to know what would happen next! Thank you very much Lauren, for entertaining me with this great book! 👏👏😊😊

When an Earl Meets a Girl. Good book. Long and involved. I liked that it was so much more than a short story.

Fantastic read!. I loved the depth of the characters. There were some very funny moments, and some great tear-jerker moments, too. I will be reading more from this author.

When an Earl meets a Girl. The numerous sexual scenes were too much. Skipped many pages because of that.

Review. This book was amazing. I wish it didn't have to end and it's definitely recommended.

Dottie. Very good. Finished in two days. Amy is beautiful and Colin funny.

Great read!. Well-written, giving details about events and characters, not common in other regency romances. Loved the way author intermingled historical events but didn't delve on them to make the story boring. Instead, used the events as part of the character's story.

Amethyst. I simply love the Chase family! Lauren Royal has become one of my favorite authors, her books have in depth characters whom are each so charismatic and charming! Always a great read to be found by Royal's books, you definitely get your money's worth.

A great read!🤩😍. Unlike many other historical books, the events seem real and the true history behind them is preserved. I truly enjoyed reading the book. The characters are well-developed. I laughed at times and cried at times, the signs of a great book.

Wonderful. Lauren knows how to mix history, passion and solid writing to make a book you just can't put down.

Amethyst. I do not normally take the time to write reviews but this was a very good book. It was not predictable. It drew you into their lives and kept you on the edge of what would happen next. Truly enjoyed this book.

Wonderful read. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I love the story about a commoner enticing nobility.

Fun Enjoyable Read. Read it in one day.

:). This was my first historical romance novel, and I must say I really enjoyed it! I can't wait to read more in the Chase family series.

Amethyst. I liked this book a great deal. It was charming and held my attention. I was thinking it a long story, but did not mind, because nothing was left out. The characters were real, and I enjoyed meeting them.

Good reading Amethyst. Highly recommend! Also written well as it kept my interest to finish reading story.

Thank you. Thanks so much , liked the drama , suspense , funny story telling and a beautiful ending, real story book romance ;)

Such a Great Read. This book and it’s characters are fantastic!!!! You will not be disappointed!!!!!

Amethyst. Fascinating book ...great plot

When a Earl Meets a Girl. Loved this book. I usually read short stories but this one was not. The author invested her time in the history of the time and the characters in the story. I found it hard to put down. I applaud the author in completing the story and not cutting it short and leaving you wondering what happened to characters. An epilogue is a must in all stories I believe.

Love!. Loved the characters and the storyline. Very easy read. I love my romance novels and Lauren royal is one of the best at making you love the people and wish them a happy ending!

Amethyst. I really enjoyed the book. It was well written and very entertaining.

Anethyst. I don't usually read romance. This was steamy with believable characters. It was great at explaining the time period and the customers of the time. Definitely recommend

Great. I loved this book. I love how descriptive and how much the characters were explained and spoken about. It was amazing. I’ll read all the rest. Favourite book in a while

Fab. This book was great, I wanted to read it at every turn. Some books repeat lines as you get to similar parts but this one never did. It had a good old story but never boring and as you can see where it's going it still had bits that I never saw coming. Good read.

Was ok. The story got interesting just half way through the book when Amethyst got kidnapped by ex fiancé. The description and details of the book were well thought but it stops there for me.

Amethyst. I absolutely loved this book. Amethyst and Colin were wonderful characters. The whole story transported me to their time. I am now looking to buy the rest of the trilogy. Fabulous.

When an earl meets a girl. A lovely story and a beautifully written romance .

Loved this book. Really enjoyed this book, hard to put down

Beautifully written. I love how the writer played her characters. You can't help but fall in love with Amy and all the Chase family. I love the tidbits of 17th century salacious stories. The author gave us a glimpsed of London in the early years and as if you were transported there to experience. So vividly written. On to the next Chase adventure.

When an Earl meets a Girl. Well, When I first read this book it was called Amethyst and I have really enjoyed it both times. To learn the Chase’s residence’s have been based on real historical Castles and their history was amazing. Colin & Amy’s story is definitely worth reading. Maz.

Amethyst. Loved it! Such an enjoyable read, looking forward to reading the other chase family members stories, especially Kendra's!

Amethyst. Great read.

Amethyst. Very entertaining , really enjoyed this book well written , characters good , will read more of Lauren Royal books , good read

Great read smile and addictive!!. Finished the book in one go couldn't put it down!

Amethyst. It was an informative and easy read. I enjoyed it.

Amethyst. This is a very enjoyable easy read, great for holidays. Loved the characters and the setting. Give it a try.

Wonderful. I read a lot of books, of many genres... this one will be remembered! The story had me feeling the characters joy and pain from start to finish, it had me giggling, tearing up and living with them. The historical facts were accurate (I even went on to read further on some characters so thank you also for the education). A thoroughly enjoyable read that I couldn’t put down. Now onto and looking forward to more of this authors work...

Enjoyable characters and a great read.. I grew up reading Georgette Heyer novels. These are just as good if not better!

Great read. Kept me interested and easy to read.

Amethyst. Great! Loved it! Nice story line with detailed love scenes that paint a fabulous picture without being graphic. Historic references a nice touch as well.😃

Amethyst. Thoroughly enjoyed the setting, characters and pace of this novel, will continue with this series as I found myself being drawn further & further into the Chase family. Ms. Royal writes with humour and with great appreciation for historical detail which if I found utterly addicting and can't wait to download Emerald the second in the series.

When an Earl Meets a Girl. This was a great book from start to finish! I’m looking forward to reading the next one.

Amethyst. Spell binding . I could not put this book down until I had finished it. Your research is amazing. Thank you.

Enjoyed. Good balance of historical fact and descriptions. As well as intimate moments. Tasteful and romantic. Like able characters. Plausible storyline. Refreshing and good read.

Fantastic!!!. I'm usually not a historical romance reader but after reading one of Nora's books I wanted to give the genre a try. This was my first Lauren Royal book and I loved it. The story is fast paced and not predictable. Character are well developed and relatable. It also made me fall in love with the Chase family, and want to read more by Lauren.

Amethyst. This book was a wonderful read! I love how descriptive it is, and the way I felt I was right there in the jewellers shop watching the jewelry being made and sold. It has two of the things that I love, historical romance and jewellery!
