Critics Review
“A lighthearted romp by a prolific genre author. Chesney skillfully creates spirited characters, including the older principals, and places them in a believable period atmosphere.”
– “Library Journal”“Sir Philip has committed many follies in the past three novels in Chesney’s Regency series, the Poor Relations. Here, in the fourth entry of the series, he has fallen in love with a totally unsuitable woman who is eating the Poor Relations out of their meager profits. The ploy to separate Philip from his leeching lady becomes entangled with a plan to sponsor the coming-out party of a repressed hotel guest whose widowed mother is trying to keep her daughter out of the social scene in order to stay there herself. Amusing.”
