The Spinster next door…
Grace Morledge is a failure. Or so her father believes, as she is unmarried despite her many advantages. In his mind, Grace must have significant flaws to be a spinster, and something must be done about them. To her mortification, he demands she be fully examined and all her flaws recorded. And the man he chooses is the worst possible candidate of all.
Aubrey Flint, Lord Ingram, has known Grace since childhood, but he never anticipated Lord Trenwick demand he examine her for flaws. How can perfection have faults? Reluctantly, he accepts the assignment and finds far more than he bargained for, as perfection becomes more and more tempting.

4.5 stars
First of all five stars for the titles of all the books in this series. So much fun. Also, I enjoy spinster stories so that is another plus for this series.
The spinster story illustrates some of the difficulties in being a single female during this time period. It is all very unfair and in this particular story very frustrating as an absentee husband and father gets to come floating in and spout abusive sentiments and neither his wife nor daughter can really do anything about it. I really wanted someone to stick up for Grace. Anyone? Anyone at all? Nope. Come on Aubrey. Can’t you? Sigh…
I loved Grace’s mother though. She was supportive and in what little bit of freedom that Grace enjoyed as a spinster and a Spinster, I believe her mother was living vicariously.
Grace is aptly named for she seemed to be the epitome of grace in all things. Unless a certain someone was around. Then she might have been a bit playful in ways that society would have frowned upon but Aubrey thoroughly enjoyed.
I enjoyed Aubrey but was a little frustrated in how long it took him to do something about his feelings for Grace. Just get on with it! 🙂 I enjoyed the banter between the two of them. Though I wanted them to be together for their own happiness, I wanted them to be together to get Grace out from under the thumb of her father almost as much. I did not like that man at all.
Go Spinsters! I do love them.
