Review: THE TRUTH ABOUT LORD STONEVILLE by Sabrina Jeffries
Hetty Plumtree is beside herself with worry over her five out of control grandchildren. It is time they married and gave her great-grandchildren, so she has declared an ultimatum. They have one year to marry or she will disinherit them. The Sharpe siblings are shaped by the mysterious death of their parents and the scandal haunts them still, twenty years later, so they are disinclined to marry.
Oliver, Marquees of Stoneville, decides to thwart his grandmother by bringing home a pretend fiancée, someone extremely unsuited, so she will change her mind. However, it is Oliver that changes when the young woman he tricks into posing as his fiancée steals his heart.
Maria Butterworth has traveled to England with her cousin to find her missing fiancé. She follows a man, carrying her fiancés briefcase, into a brothel where all hell breaks loose when her cousin snatches the case. It just so happens, Lord Stoneville is a regular at said establishment. He agrees to keep her cousin out of jail and help her find her fiancé if she will help fool his grandmother by pretending to be his own fiancée. Maria soon rues the day she met Oliver. But will her heart ever be the same?
Bestselling author Sabrina Jefferies masterfully delivers a rollicking romance that will scandalize your sensibilities, tickle your funny bone and warm your heart. It is set among the stodgy upper class in England of 1800s with unconventional characters and a fast-moving, entertaining plot. THE TRUTH ABOUT LORD STONEVILLE is only the first in the Hellions of Halstead Hall series; which promises much more amusement as we meet each member of the Sharpe family and discover how they resolve the marriage challenge set forth by their cagey grandmother. I can’t wait!
