About:
A woman who can't trust herself to make a good marriage
choice asks for an arranged marriage, but then falls in love with someone else.
Grace standish is the youngest of the Standish sisters.
Years ago, she became flattered by one of the men of the ton, only to find
herself rescued from a carriage ride that could have ruined her forever. Since
then, and watching each of her sisters marry, she isn't confident in her
ability to know what would be best for her. She trusts her eldest sister June
completely and knows that she and her husband Morley, will help her. But a new,
young, Vicar enters the scene and she finds herself so incredibly curious about
him. He's obviously handsome. But he's so much more. Is she correct in her
thinking? Her family talks of titles and wealth and security. They seem to
overlook the excellent Vicar until it's almost too late.
Lord Stewart has long since tired of the ton and their selfish ways. Though
he's only participated in two seasons, he's watched brother after brother have
their seasons. Nothing about the elaborate gowns, the entire waste of money on
lavish balls, and the backbiting, gossiping ton appeals to him. And so he
decides to do everything he can to steer clear of the lot of it. His family is
in great need and so he takes a position as a Vicar and dedicates himself to
his work. He does nothing to try to appeal to anyone socially, and even still,
women are always near, their mothers, guardians and grandmothers as well as the
new debutantes. As he attempts to navigate these new relationships while
remaining single, he notices one woman who stands out in every way. As they
find themselves thrown together, and he at last finds his heart yearning to
make her his, he learns she is about to be betrothed to another in a match most
anticipated by her entire family.
Enjoy this final book in the Lords for the Sisters of Sussex series and
introduce yourselves to a new family of BROTHERS who might just might steal
your heart.
My Thoughts:
What a delightful enchanting read of Grace, the last of the Sussex sisters to marry, and her Vicar, Oliver. This story starts out as Grace not really knowing her own mind and due to a very scary situation some time ago, she is also paralyzed with fear of choosing her own husband. She has watched all of her sisters marry for love and begin their happily every afters, so she puts them and her brothers-in-law in charge of finding the suitors and helping her to pick.
Oliver Stewart, also known as Lord Stewart, has been quite smitten with Grace and decides to woo, court, and marry her. But much to his confusion and chagrin, he finds out about the suitors Morley, her brother-in-law, has sent for. One of them just happens to be his brother, Charles. Now what is a man to do when his brother seems to be in earnest to capture the woman that he loves and planned to marry?
This was an engaging tale of true love. Of a woman finding her confidence and trust in herself again. And of a man patiently waiting for the woman of his dreams to do just that. There were some surprises in the book I was not expecting and I do hope we get older brother Charles's story as well.
I was provided a copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
