The Foibles and Follies of Miss Grace


My Review:

Would you be willing to trust your five sisters and your brothers-in-law to choose who you will marry?  At first, Grace asked just her sister and brother-in-law, but somehow, all of the family gets involved. How can you have one sister and not all of the others help? :) 

Lord Oliver Stewart, known as the “Handsome Vicar”, has always be drawn to Grace.  Her love for the parishioners, her sweet nature, and beauty are everything that he admires about her.  Just when Oliver gets enough nerve to court Grace, a prospective suitor shows up and things get verrrry interesting! It’s fun watching Oliver vie for Grace’s affection and to help her see that she can trust her heart to make the perfect choice. 


I enjoyed the last book in this series, and while it can be read alone, I recommend you read all of the books about the Standish sisters because they all have wonderful love stories.  


I received an advanced reader copy of the book and was not expected to write a positive review.  All opinions are my own. 


Book Description: 


Grace Standish is the youngest of the Standish sisters. Years ago, she became flattered by one of the men of the ton, only to find herself rescued from a carriage ride that could have ruined her forever. Since then, and watching each of her sisters marry, she isn't confident in her ability to know what would be best for her. She trusts her eldest sister June completely and knows that she and her husband Morley, will help her. But a new, young, Vicar enters the scene and she finds herself so incredibly curious about him. He's obviously handsome. But he's so much more. Is she correct in her thinking? Her family talks of titles and wealth and security. They seem to overlook the excellent Vicar until it's almost too late.

Lord Stewart has long since tired of the ton and their selfish ways. Though he's only participated in two seasons, he's watched brother after brother have their seasons. Nothing about the elaborate gowns, the entire waste of money on lavish balls, and the backbiting, gossiping ton appeals to him. And so he decides to do everything he can to steer clear of the lot of it. His family is in great need and so he takes a position as a Vicar and dedicates himself to his work. He does nothing to try to appeal to anyone socially, and even still, women are always near, their mothers, guardians and grandmothers as well as the new debutantes. As he attempts to navigate these new relationships while remaining single, he notices one woman who stands out in every way. As they find themselves thrown together, and he at last finds his heart yearning to make her his, he learns she is about to be betrothed to another in a match most anticipated by her entire family.

Enjoy this final book in the Lords for the Sisters of Sussex series and introduce yourselves to a new family of BROTHERS who might just might steal your heart.
