Poor, unfortunate Spinster…
Prudence Westfall, spinster, has unexpectedly had the greatest misfortune of all: she has inherited a fortune, and is now an heiress. But as a Spinster, and a stammering shy one, nothing could be worse than having a bevy of suitors pay her attention. Opportunity strikes at a house party when the most unlikely person offers the perfect solution.
Camden Vale is no gentleman, and he’s not prone to saving anyone, but something about Prue changes all that. When his offer to befriend her extends beyond the house party, and his feelings extend beyond expectation, no one is more surprised than he. Except, perhaps, for the other Spinsters, and they have much to say on the subject.
My Thoughts:
What a delightful tale The
Spinster and I was. This is the story of Prue, who is a 25-year old
spinster who has suddenly become very wealthy. However, that does not change
who she is- a very timid and shy young woman who embarrasses easily and
stutters when highly emotional. Enter Camden her rogue hero who sees her for
who she is and has no other designs on her except to rescue her and to be her
friend.
I liked watching these two strangers becoming friends and
really not expecting anything else from each other, no romantic interests
especially. I think it made them much more comfortable with each other and
truly knocked down any walls that would have made them less than honest.
Neither hid their faults from one another and that was a refreshing read. It
was an interesting love story to watch unfold.
This is my first book I have read by author Connolly and I
hope to rectify that soon. This story was filled with characters from other
stories it seems, but even though I had not read them yet this one was still
enjoyable. I like the idea of having a spinster like club, and I look forward to
future stories as each one finds her one true match.
I received a copy of this book from the author. I was not
required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

Author Interview
1. Who are some of your favorite Regency authors? Do these authors inspire your own writing?
I love Jen Geigle Johnson, Sarah Eden, Jennifer Moore, Elizabeth Johns… And I am constantly meeting more lovely writers who love the same ears I do! I am inspired by so many authors, but in my time period and outside of it! The best inspiration of all, though, has to be Jane Austen.

2. If you could go to tea with one of your characters, who would you go with and why?
Oh, I think I would want to go to tea with Charlotte Wright. She doesn’t hold anything back, and I bet she has some fantastic stories!

3. What inspired the idea for The Spinster and I?
I had created a group of spinsters that had gotten to that point in their lives for different reasons. This particular story starred a girl who was painfully shy and wanted nothing more than to remain unnoticed by the world, and I wanted someone to notice her in a way that would actually work for her. He just so happens to be the most unlikely candidate, which makes it so deliciously fun!

4. What did you as an author take away from writing The Spinster and I?
I think the biggest thing I took away was that we need to look beneath the surface in everyone. There is so much more to a person than what we can see.
