It’s been almost two years since Effie’s beloved parents got divorced, destroying the image of the happy, loving childhood she thought she had. Since then, she’s become estranged from her father and embarked on a feud with his hot (and much younger) girlfriend, Krista. And now, more earth-shattering news: They’ve sold Greenoaks, the rambling Victorian country house Effie has always called home.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 833
Sasha has had it. She cannot bring herself to respond to another inane, “urgent” email or participate in the corporate employee joyfulness program. She hasn’t seen her friends in months. Sex? Seems like a lot of effort. Even cooking dinner takes far too much planning. Sasha has hit a wall. Armed with good intentions to drink kale smoothies, try yoga, and find peace, she heads to the seaside resort she loved as a child. But it’s the off season, the hotel is in a dilapidated shambles, and she has to share the beach with the only other occupant: a grumpy guy named Finn.

Billie is looking forward to a quiet, man-free Christmas. It’s just a shame her family doesn't feel the same way. With a house full of unexpected (and unwanted) guests, Billie needs to find the perfect escape to get away from the chaos. So when her dating app recommends a week of singles nights in her area, Billie decides that braving these events has to be better than making conversation with her dad’s new wife, dealing with her mum's mid-life crisis or witnessing her sister flirting with her insufferably arrogant next-door neighbour.

Perfect Series Conclusion
Originally titled The Little Lady Agency and the Prince, book three of the Little Lady Agency series by Hester Browne is an absolutely adorable finish to the trilogy. The previous title does reflect a major plot point, but the new title brilliantly reflects Melissa’s underlying need to reflect on what she truly wants in life.
While contemplating making plans for a big life change, Melissa is presented with revamping the reputation of another dubious client. How can she refuse her dear grandmother when the client is the son of the lost love of her life? So, Honey takes on the rude, brash Prince Nicky in hopes of turning him into the desirable, debonair Prince Nicholas.
Prince Nicky being a minor royal without a principality is more like a reality television celebrity, both in terms of his notoriety and his public behavior. At first, it is quite difficult to like him as a character; not only does he behave like an entitled, rich kid, he puts Melissa in a multitude of difficult situations. “Honey” manages through the sticky social mishaps, while Melissa is forced to confront the reality of her fiancé’s expectations and how closely they align with those of her father. Creating The Little Lady Agency allowed Melissa to get out from under her father’s thumb. Is she willing to trade in her independence and submit to a controlling husband’s proposal? Along with that bit of seriousness, What The Lady Wants is filled with humor and romantic misadventures for Melissa’s motely group of friends.
The droll characters and the Romney-Jones family drama make this final series installment hilarious. Through the somewhat predictable mayhem, lovable Melissa shows her pluck and charm. The Little Lady series was my first romantic-comedy, and it remains one of my favorites. It is light-hearted and appropriately flirty and fun. In her relatively chaste books, Ms. Browne creates a lovely escape from the hum-drum demands of real life.
Narrator Lara J. West wonderfully brings this delightful book to life.
