Enjoyed the plot. Characters were realistic.
Loved this read. Great characters and believable plot. Entertaining.
Though Georgia Holton is delighted to join her best friend in London for a fortnight, she has no expectation of finding romance. She has her motherless brothers and sisters to care for, after all, and only a meager inheritance of ten pounds to look forward to. When she crosses path with the wealthy but jaded Earl of Crossley, can she help him find the good in life?
I found Georgia’s realistic approach to life refreshing. She isn’t set on marrying a title in her brief visit to London. At times, though, her critical look at what was common at the time made her a bit tiresome. Still, her background made it realistic for her to raise an eyebrow at the goings-on of the ton.
On the other hand, I didn’t warm up to the earl at all. I didn’t feel like there was enough time or meetings between him and Georgia for him to change his view of the world so much.
Overall, this was a lovely weekend read. I would recommend it to readers looking for an easy and sweet read.
Invited to spend a fortnight as her friend’s companion in London, Georgia is bubbling with excitement at the once in a lifetime opportunity. Even before the Sherton family arrive at their townhouse Crispin, the Earl of Crossley is seen standing on the pavement with a friend. Later, as Georgia and her friend take a stroll, she physically bumps into the stern-looking Crispin. Despite his misgivings about debutantes, Crispin cannot help but be charmed by Georgia’s unaffected manner and spontaneous and joyful approach to life. Unfortunately, in an unguarded moment, Lady Vicky makes a declaration that has unforeseen consequences. Crispin does his best to set matters right, but the half-truth spins out of control, running away from them. This Regency romance is gentle and sweet, but it does have a depth to it as Crispin is forced to review his stance on marriage and women in general. Georgia has the tendency to bring out the best in people and as she challenges Crispin, he finds that his stony heart begins to crumble. I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.
What a sweet happy ever after story indeed.
Delightful reading. Two very special young women, great friends plan to enjoy two weeks of their season in Regency London. Georgia is quite a lady and has resigned herself to return to her home village to care for younger siblings. She is in London to make memories with her friend. It is a lot of fun to see how she and the Earl find they are right for each other.
I love spirited ladies that win more than they have ever dreamed.
I enjoyed this story and the characters but felt the author spent a lot time developing the plot and then rushed through the ending without really exploring the characters motivations.
Good story and no yukky sex!
Not your average bluestocking…
very sweet, clean story. Quick read. Fun characters.
A sweet romance.
A fun read
Inheriting Trouble is a sweet regency romance and part of the Bequest Series by Wendy Andrews. It was well written and had great characters. Georgia Holton was invited to go to London to spend two weeks with her friend. She has no expectations of finding a husband. She just wanted to have the experience and adventure before she settles for a local businessman. Crispin, the Earl of Crossley, wasn’t looking for another wife. After his previous wife’s betrayal, he was content with his life. He had an heir, which he didn’t acknowledge, and had no need for another wife. Crispin was intrigued by Georgia because she was so different than all the other women. She challenged him to be a better person and a father. The book was sweet, clean, and a great romance to read.
