Publisher's summary

Owing to an unfortunate wager made by Sir Philip, the poor relations are once again scrounging around for a plan for solvency. This time it is Colonel Sandhurst to the rescue. After happening on Sir Randolph’s lovely daughter Frederica, who is running away to escape an awful marriage to Lord Bewley, the Colonel devises a plan to force Sir Randolph to settle his bill for six month’s stay and to save Frederica from her fate. The clever plan is thwarted when Lord Bewley shows up at the drop point instead of Sir Randolph. The poor relations must make a deal with Lord Bewley in order to get their money and stay out of jail, an arrangement that turns cases of mistaken identity into cases of romance.

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

Love this series!

Such an easy listen. No brainer, fun romp. Predictable, with a bunch of laughs. I wish Masterpiece would scoop this up, and create a wonderful fun series. Each book, could be season.

A Fun Afternoon

This series is a lighthearted way to while away an afternoon. Each book takes roughly 4 hours to complete. Which is perfect for my schedule. I am sad to see I only have one book left... I have gotten to love these odd characters.

Loving this series

I have now read the fifth book out of the 6-part series and am looking forward to the 6th with mixed emotions. On one hand I look forward to finding out how Ms Beaton ends the series, however sad that now this run is over.
I recommend these books to someone who enjoys light regency romantic stories, with a sense of humour. These are well-written with interesting historic details and a flavour of what it might be like to have lived in those times.
The narrator is out-standing.

This series is engaging and entertaining. It is just the ticket after a book that has very serious or depressing subject mattrr.

Each book gets better and better

Comical, unpredictable, satisfying. These books have ambushed me with their creativity. It's been a while since I've laughed this much reading a book. I think this may be my favorite one.

not like the othera

I usually treally enjoy this series but this book's love premis was just not anywhere as good as previous books. I really didn't like the two temporary main men. "despite her protests" was used in a romantic scene- ew.
