Publisher's summary

Dull, plain, and practical, Mary Bennet was the girl men always overlooked. Nobody thought she’d garner a second glance, much less a husband. But she did, and now, she’s grateful to be engaged to Mr. Michaels, the steady, even-tempered steward of Rosings Park. By all appearances, they are made for each other, serious, hard-working, and boring.

Michaels finds managing Rosings Park relatively straightforward, but he desperately needs a helpmate like Mary, able to manage his employers: the once proud Lady Catherine de Bourgh who is descending into madness and her currently proud nephew and heir Colonel Fitzwilliam, whose extravagant lifestyle has left him ill-equipped for economy and privation.

Colonel Fitzwilliam had faced cannon fire and sabers, taken a musket ball to the shoulder and another to the thigh, stood against Napoleon and lived to tell of it, but barking out orders and the point of his sword aren’t helping him save Rosings Park from financial ruin. Something must change quickly if he wants to salvage any of his inheritance. He needs help, but Michaels is tedious and Michaels’ fiancée, the opinionated Mary Bennet, is stubborn and not to be borne.

Apparently, quiet was not the same thing as meek, and reserved did not mean mild. The audacity of the woman, lecturing him on how he should manage his barmy aunt! The fact that she is usually right doesn’t help. Miss Bennet gets under his skin, growing worse by the day until he finds it very difficult to remember that she's engaged to another man.

Can order be restored to Rosings Park, or will Lady Catherine’s madness ruin them all?

Final volume of The Queen of Rosings Park series. Jane Austen-inspired sweet Regency romance.

Mary finally shines

This has been an amazing series. The second book is my favorite, then this book, A Less Agreeable Man, and then the first. The first book features Elizabeth, the second features Lydia and the third book features Mary. Poor Mary has always been the overlooked sister, but finally she gets center stage. She is a complex person - always useful and compliant. However inside she is fiery and passionate. I enjoyed the series more than I imagined and am so glad I chose it. I would like to add that the books were extremely well performed. The narrator has a wide range of vocals. She performs male voices equally as well as male voices and with perfect emphasis and emotion.

Really enjoyed it!

It wasn't typical story and loved how she stuck with the main characters and all others were the supporting roles. I also like how she changed personalities of characters we know well. Highly recommend for P&P fans!
