The Earl of Tredair has had his fill of balls, routs, and silly misses, and he despairs of finding someone extraordinary - that is, until he meets Miss Fanny Waverley. Most unique and intriguing, Fanny and her two sisters are the adopted daughters of the reclusive bluestocking Madame Waverley. They have been raised as her disciples to spread the word of women's rights and to encourage poor oppressed females to stand up against the iniquities of the male sex. The beautiful and farouche Miss Fanny, however, finds it quite difficult to think of all men as cruel and lustful beasts....

As a once happily married woman, Rebecca Parker lived a charmed life, but now widowed and working for a living, she feels alone and lives a mundane existence. That is until the day a valet speeding by on a horse nearly runs her off the road. Mr. Malcolm Henry is apologetic, gentle, and very handsome.

But love at first sight only happens in fairy tales—never to an ordinary woman like her.

When her ex-fiancé, the devastatingly handsome marquess of Merechester, courts one of her relatives, Amaryllis can't bear the thought of him seeing what's become of her - or how much she still desires him.

It was true. The lovely young widow Lady Charteris - Delphine to her friends - had agreed to abide by her parents' wishes and marry the Comte Saint-Pierre. Delphine's parents had long since died in the Terror, but when she learned of their wishes for her, she believed it her duty to respect their wishes. Delphine would marry, but it would be a marriage in name only. But when Delphine saw Jules Saint-Pierre, she got the shock of her life: he was the same man she had seen juggling in the streets at a local fair.

Decent book to have on in the background. Predictable but enjoyable. A few turns of phrase got a smile out of me, and the ending was a fun surprise that confirmed what I thought might have happened.

Clueless martyr...AGAIN
I did not enjoy this book very much and wonder where the clever, humorous author had gone that wrote Regency books that were lighthearted and fun such as the Poor Relation series that I loved listening to. In that series even the villains were at times lovable and helpful but these people were so horrible it was depressing. Not only that but the victims are always so self righteously self destructive and never tell the truth of their feelings thinking they are saving someone by deciding to do what THEY think is best for them. Do they never think of respecting the other person to be able to handle the truth? In book after book it’s always the same. I don’t think it’s love to be dishonestly “noble”. It is grossly unfair and causes me to hate this outline for books. I really wish a book would allow the characters to be respectfully honest to the people they supposedly love so much and then see what happens. It would be interesting to read more about the running of these households, the farming and if any of them had grown to feel this system of preordained stations in life was bad for their country. I keep reading the M.C. Beaton books because even at her worst she is still a great author. She doesn’t do bodice rippers or bad language and keeps the violence to a minimum. I love the way her writing is constructed and in this genre she has no equal.
