Publisher's Summary:
Eliza Budley is a beautiful widow whose husband gambled away his fortune. Lady Fortescue reminds the others that, to be fair, Mrs. Budley has no relatives on whom she can call. Gentle Mrs. Budley thinks she has escaped her fate until Sir Philip comes up with a plan: He has heard that the elderly Marquess of Peterhouse is senile, a widower, extremely rich, and unlikely to remember whether Mrs. Budley is a relative or not. So off Mrs. Budley goes to the bleak castle where the marquess turns out to be not so old, hardly senile, and, in fact, quite handsome.
The loveable characters from the Poor Relation Hotel return in this sparkling and adventurous Regency from Marion Chesney.
Members Reviews:
good series, but predictable
What made the experience of listening to Mrs. Budley Falls from Grace the most enjoyable?
MC Beaton seriously lacks imagination, Mrs Budley nothing else than all the other folks that join the poor relation. It is a poor relation imaginary book.

get more spicy and more courageous......

Consistant Light Romantic Regency Fare
Third installment of the Poor Relation Series. Set in the Regency period. Some nice period details sprinkled in the novel. This series of novels are light, entertaining reads. Regency without the bodice ripping.
As before the main romance is almost relegated to a subplot as the lives, hopes and dreams of the other characters were explored. Gentle humour, pleasantly entertaining.
The narration is, as ever, stunningly good.
The Poor Relations Series
What made the experience of listening to Mrs. Budley Falls from Grace the most enjoyable?
I am totally hooked on this series. Ms. Poter's narration is wonderful. I am delighted
by the main character's personalities and can't wait for the next book to see what
they get involved in this time.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Sir Philip is the most colorful character. He is a rake, kind, hateful,sweet, and
totally unpredictable.
What does Davina Poter bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
I have listened to her narations of M.C.Beaton and enjoyed them but this series is her
finest performance. Her characters come alive. She deserves 5 stars for this
narration.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The series brings laughs, worry, historical information, and pure delight.
Cast of characters
I have enjoyed this series of books and the character development in each book. The story line gets a bit far fetched at times, but always in a good way. I feel like I am reading about characters I would like to have as friends.
Love this series
Just another great book in a cute series. It is an easy listening companion. I will continue to Sir Phillips Folly next in the series.
