In Regency England, marriage is everything. For young widow Sybella Lovatt, the time has come to find a suitable husband for her sister and ward Lucie. Male suitors are scarce near their Wiltshire estate, so the sisters resolve to head to London in time for the Season to begin.
Once ensconced at the Mayfair home of Lady Godley, Lucie’s godmother, the whirl of balls, parties and promenades can begin. But the job of finding a husband is fraught with rules and tradition. Jostling for attention are the two lords – the charming and irresistible Freddie Lynwood and the preternaturally handsome Valentine Ravenell, their enigmatic neighbour from Shotten Hall, Mr Brabazon, and the dangerous libertine Lord Rockliffe, with whom the brooding Brabazon is locked in deadly rivalry.
Against the backdrop of glamorous Regency England, Sybella must settle Lucie’s future, protect her own reputation, and resist the disreputable rakes determined to seduce the beautiful widow. As the Season ends, will the sisters have found the rarest of things – a suitable marriage with a love story to match?
The characters are really lovable and sweet, I really enjoyed learning their story.
As the two sisters are quite independent, especially Lucie is quite a free spirit, why do they have to be in such a hurry to find a husband. But that’s the century… At least they’re on the look out for a love match.
The ending quite predictable - well it’s called “the marriage season” what else did I expect than a couple of marriages.
I can recommand this entertaining and quick story to everyone who enjoyed “Ther Bridgertons”.
I myself listened to the audiobook, a really pleasant voice, easy to listen to.
