Series: Miss Delacourt Speaks Her Mind
Ginny Delacourt felt the course of true love could not have run smoother. After all, it required only a fortnight, a pair of highwaymen, a pox quarantine, a sham betrothal, and a masquerade ball to bring Sir Anthony up to snuff. When her beloved suddenly becomes the heir to his uncle, the Duke of Marcross, protocol dictates that he drop the “Sir” from his name. It’s his uncle who insists Ginny, daughter of a lowly vicar, is not the proper bride for a future duke.
Lucinda and Lord Avery arrive on the scene to stir up trouble, and Ginny’s normally manipulative Grandaunt Regina seems helpless to arrange anything, least of all a frowned-upon wedding. It’s up to Anthony, with help from his fussy valet, to see to it that Ginny has her day.
The road to true love just got a little bumpier.
This is a fun Regency story, although at times I thought some of it seemed a bit over-the-top. Lots of humorous situations and crazy characters.
