Publisher's summary

In this funny Regency romance series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn't know what's hit it…

There was no doubt that things had definitely looked better for Gabriel Atwood, one time Viscount Northwood. Mainly because everyone who knew him or of him almost certainly believed him dead—the bastard who'd betrayed him had made sure of that. His only hope was to seek aid from Nicholas Sinclair, his former mentor, now the current Duke of Blackmore, before his enemies realised that news of his demise had been greatly exaggerated. Unfortunately, on finally reaching the Duke's estate late on Christmas eve, Atwood discovered the house shrouded in darkness and realised with despair that his grace had undoubtedly chosen to spend the Christmas season elsewhere.

Hope Shackleford did not relish spending the festive season under the same roof as her entire family, even though the roof beneath which the gathering was to take place belonged to the Earl of Ravenstone and was far grander than the modest vicarage in which she'd spent her whole life. Indeed, given that her two eldest sisters were married to influential members of the ton, it had to be said that her family were becoming increasingly accustomed to indulgences entirely above their station.

Hope on the other hand, despite possessing a head of flaming red hair giving indication to the contrary, was a practical young woman who eschewed both whimsy and optimism, unlike the rest of her eccentric family—in particular her father whose calling as a man of the cloth seemed in recent years to play a secondary role to his passion for meddling in affairs that in Hope's view were entirely none of his business. Thus, the chances of their Christmas festivities being wholly focused on the simple joys of the season were, in Hope's opinion, slim to none.

After the unexpected appearance of a handsome vagrant who was clearly more than he seemed, Hope had no idea just how correct her misgivings would turn out to be…

Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humor and a little bit of steam.

This series is fantastic

I’ve reviewed all of these because they’re genuinely some do the best books I’ve completed this year. Love the shenanigans they find themselves in. Love the family dynamic and that simple sweet love stories that encompass each tale.

Too Many Narrators But Good Story

I honestly don’t understand why there are so many narrators when one character might have three different voices in the storyline. Why men are doing women’s voices and women doing men’s voices is beyond me. But the story was engaging and fun, taking interesting turns. The series is most enjoyable and would be downright addicting if not for the confusing narration.

Great twists!

I was expecting more of the same from this series, but was pleasantly surprised by the mystery and the twists and the intrigue in this one also they’ve upped the comedy factor by a lot because they keep adding more great characters

Huge disappointment!

I was enjoying this entire series until this particular book! Not a fan of four letter words! Ruined the entire book - I didn’t bother finishing it!
