Publisher's Summary:

Just when everything at the Poor Relation Hotel seems to be running smoothly, Sir Philip brings in another poor relation, Mrs. Budge. When Sir Philip presents his paramour, Lady Fortescue swears great oaths and says the woman is probably related to half the costermongers in London and certainly does not possess one rich relative. Mrs. Budge does nothing but eat all day and refuses to do any work around the hotel. Worst of all, Miss Tonks seems to be taking the romance between Sir Philip and Mrs. Budge quite hard. In the middle of all this commotion, a certain Lady Carruthers and her daughter Arabella come to stay at the hotel. Lady Carruthers is a widow trying to pass herself off as much younger than she actually is. To this end, she dresses poor Arabella, who is all of 19, as a young schoolgirl and refuses to bring her out. It is up to the poor relations to deal with the lazy Mrs. Budge, find Arabella a husband, and trounce her terrible mother!

Members Reviews:

This series is wonderful, the book dramatic and humorous

I enjoyed reading this so much! I could barely put it down. I had to find out what was going to happen next. I'm excited for the next book in the series. The characters are wonderful and unique. I recommend this book to people who like romance with a surrounding cast of interesting characters and the romance is a part of the story, not the whole story.

Fun historical romances

Sir Philip is the rascal in the Poor Relations business venture, and as always, his exploits create opportunities for romance to blossom!

Fascinating Read!

Description: A tale full of scheming, deception, greed and romance. The owners of the Poor Relation hotel conspire to evict a vulgar leech of a guest while also attempting to help a young lady escape her mother's control and win over the man of her dreams.

You will find yourself transported to London in the early 1800s, engrossed in a story with a lot of twists and turns. Watch as this diverse cast schemes to unmask a gold digger and make a name for their hotel. This book is full of subterfuge and humor.

In Short: This is a thoroughly entertaining book. The characters are all unique and fascinating. The story is fast paced and full of intrigue. The ending is satisfying and leaves no loose ends untied.

Pros: Although this book is the 4th in the Poor Relation series it stands alone well and doesn't leave you hanging in the end. This book will make sense to you even if you have not read any of the other books in the series. This book has a fun, fast paced story. With no fluff it makes for a quick entertaining read.

Cons: The kindle edition has a lot of words smashed together and in one part of the book there is a block of text missing. I don't know if these problems exist in any other versions of the book. The words run together likethis interrupted the flow of reading but because I was so engrossed in the story I didn't dwell on the typos and just kept reading!

Another great time at the Poor Relations

The Poor Relations Inn/Boarding place is doing better than ever this season. A 19 year old young lady and her mother, an actor, Miss Tonks, Sir Phillips' unsavory woman, an earl and more all make a wonderful new adventure for the owners of the Poor Relations

Story was ok

But the Kindle version was badly done.
