Step into the upper-crust world of British aristocracy with Emma Hart's romping new romantic comedy series, The Aristocrat Diaries. Starting with Love Language, the tale of undercover agony aunt Lady Gabriella Hastings and Miles Kingsley, the handsome, brooding gardener at her family's estate.

Please note that Love Language is set in England with English characters and is written in British English. 

My Review:

Hart’s new romantic comedy, Love Language, is the first book in The Aristocrat Diaries. A series that takes place within the British aristocracy and gives us a more witty and entertaining look into this upper-class.

At the beginning of the story we get to meet twenty-seven year old, Lady Gabriella Hastings, whose father wants her to get married and is constantly trying to set her up with eligible bachelors. But that’s not what Gabriella wants and she is scared of how her father is goin to react to her plans. She has a passion for gardening and wants to take a horticultural course. It is well known that Gabriella won’t inherit the family estate and she is trying to make something of her life. Yet, the problem is that nobody cares about what she thinks is best for her. Until Miles Kingsley, her grumpy and handsome head gardener believes in what she can do and decides to help her. He might be quiet and reserved, but there is something about him that keeps her drawn to him. The more time they spend together, the more she develops feelings for Miles. Soon he gets invited into her world and she doesn’t know how to react to him getting all the attention. He has made it clear that their worlds are different, but Gabriella doesn’t care, she just needs to convince Miles to give them a shot.

Miles Kingsley has been working as head gardener for the Arrowwood Estate for the past six months. Taking care of the family’s personal garden makes him happy to not be surrounded by people all the time. He is good at what he does and has worked hard to be where he is. He never expected to like Gabriella so much, but he knows that they can never work. They come from two different worlds and no matter how much he wants her, Miles needs to act uninterested in order to get her to back away. But that’s not exactly what happens and soon he is kissing her and getting pulled into her world. He is afraid that he might not be able to offer Gabriella what she wants and he needs to figure out if he is strong enough to let her go or start a future together.

I always have such a great time reading any of Emma Hart’s books, she has a great sense of humor in her stories that have me hooked from beginning to end. There is lots of witty banter in the story and laugh-out-loud moments between Gabriella and her Aunt Cat. I loved the concept as a whole, but I do wish the author could have developed a few things further. Still, Gabriella’s relationship with Miles was cute and the ending was hilarious. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series! :)

My Rating:


{EXCERPT}

“You should all be thankful I’m not bringing home more goats.”

That was true. “Victoria and Albert are definitely enough.”

Alex snorted. “Victoria and Albert? You named your goats Victoria and Albert?” “Technically, it’s Queen Victoria and Prince Albert,” I answered.

She blinked at him. “What else would I name them?”

“Billy?” Alex offered with a grin. “Gruff?”

I laughed.

“I do fancy another pair, though. I was thinking about Elizabeth and Philip.”

Alex composed himself. “Skipped a few monarchs there, haven’t you?”

“Well, yes.” She tapped her chin. “But the four kings between our queens are Edwards and Georges. I suppose George is an option, but Edward isn’t. Has rather a negative connotation to it, doesn’t it?”

I kicked Alex under the table.

We were not going to get my aunt started on Edward.

I’d hear nothing but her rants on him and Wallis Simpson for the next week, and I much preferred my sanity.

“Elizabeth and Philip are great names for goats,” I agreed. “Especially since the Queen is the GOAT.”

“Did you just call Her Majesty a goat?” Alex’s shoulders shook with laughter.

“No, I said the GOAT.”

Aunt Cat pressed her hand against her chest in horror. “That’s your relative you’re besmirching!”

Jesus. How did I get here? “The greatest of all time,” I said quickly, before she could spiral any further. “It’s a compliment. GOAT. Greatest of all time. See?”

She frowned. “Why can’t you just say she’s the greatest of all time? You kids these days. You’re so lazy in your English. Never mind horticulture classes, Gabriella, you need some elocution lessons.”
