Back in Society: A Regency Romance

The Poor Relation, Book 6

De: M. C. Beaton

Narrado por: Davina Porter

Life is finally looking up for the poor relations. The Prince of Wales’ coat of arms gleams over the hotel entrance. All but one of the rooms are filled by the open-handed Prince Hugo and his entourage. The owners have taken on a new partner, Mr. Jason Davy, a popular actor. Even curmudgeonly Sir Philip hasn’t uttered anything loathsome for days. They have finally reached a position comfortable enough to allow them to consider offers to buy the hotel.

The poor relations’ hard-earned success, however, is in stark contrast to the plight of their latest guest, Lady Jane Fremney. The slight, beautiful youngest daughter of the Earl of Durby has been cast out of her family for refusing to marry the man her father has chosen. Lonely and bankrupt, Lady Jane has decided to commit suicide. But when Miss Tonks uncovers her plans, the poor relations go into action again to try to rescue Lady Jane from suicide, her father, and her intended.

The loveable characters from the Poor Relation Hotel return in this sparkling and adventurous Regency from Marion Chesney.

Poor Relations Enriched by Friendship

Consistantly light Regancy romance with gentle humor & engaging characters.
The individual stories are predictable but saved from tedium by the excellant narration of Davina Porter.

loved loved loved it

Would absolutely petition for a mini series of this! it was so enjoyable and easy to listen.

Lovely ending to the Poor Relations collection

I love Marion Chesney‘s work! I only wish the series was longer! This would make a magnificent TV series!

Satisfying conclusion to the Series

Sixth and last installment of the Poor Relation Series. Set in the Regency period.

Another light, entertaining novel. All loose ends are tied up nicely - and Lady Fortescue finally chooses between her swains.

The main story is another transformative one (shy, but titled, depressed rustic ends up a charming, and happily poised Lady).

The narration is, as ever, wonderful.

Fun to listen to and a refreshing escape.,

The series is well produced and performed. The over-sized characters and clean script make for excellent escape romance entertainment. Highly recommend.
