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

With her four older sisters now married, it’s Patience Shackleford’s turn to take charge of her younger siblings’ education. But given that Patience’s most prodigious skill is lock picking, any abilities she passes on to her younger sisters are unlikely to provide any assistance in the drawing rooms of the genteel, especially as she has no interest in either high society, or horror of horrors… marriage. Indeed, her father the Reverend Augustus Shackleford is firmly of the opinion that the less society knows about his fifth daughter the better…

When Grace and Temperance, now married to influential members of the ton, offer to take her in hand and bring her out, both Patience and her father are entirely horrified. For once in total accord, they endeavour to hatch a plan to somehow avoid the upcoming Season.
But that’s before a chance meeting with the enigmatic and undeniably handsome Marquis of Guildford when Patience discovers that lock picking is exactly the expertise he happens to be looking for…

Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humor and a little bit of steam.©2022 Beverley Watts (P)2023 W. F. Howes Ltd European Historical Historical Fiction Literature & Fiction Regency Regency Romance Women's Fiction World Literature Romance Funny Witty

I confess that, at the first book in the series - Grace - I truly couldn’t bear the narrator’s depiction of the Reverend S (their father), but now, I have warmed to him. His voice is so distinctive that, it actually adds to the story.

I think that I got to appreciate him better by book 3, Faith.

This is a very good series, as an ensemble, the first two books are not as good as the subsequent ones, thus far. Each tale gets more adventurous.

I liked the period drama and how it was infused with a comical side to it. I like the reverend and Percy's intetactions, they made me laugh with their plotting and planning.

The comedy side to it.
