Publisher's Summary:
Two lovebirds learn that there's more to life than money in this historical romance by best-selling author Marion Chesney.
Fanny and her groom had been tricked! Parents on both sides, all impoverished, had decided to recoup their families' losses by marrying their children to the progeny of a wealthier neighbor. The joke was on them, however, when it was outed that neither family had a penny to its name.
Charles was not the dark rogue of Fanny's girlish fantasies, but he was chivalrously determined that she should meet someone more appropriate for her than he. And for her part, Fanny was determined that Charles find a woman of greater means who would, perhaps, be the answer to his prayers. Yet as each lover set out to find someone for the other, each was left with the nagging notion that true love might have nothing to do with riches.

Particularly Delightful
This is a comedy of errors, starting with the marriage of Sir Charles to Fanny Price sight unseen. This event was manipulated by both sets of parents who were in financial trouble and thought the other family wealthy. The now impoverished couple are furious with the trick and decide to keep their marriage a secret when they go to London. This is only the beginning of numerous twists and turns until I couldn't see how there could be a HEA. Well, Beaton really pulls this ending out of a hat. It's totally great. One my favorite Beaton romances.
Five Stars
A very nice read.
Another gem from Marion Chesney
Fanny Page and Sir Charles Deveney are bamboozled into marriage by their scheming parents, each side believing they are getting one over on the other side. Both families are up the River Tick but manage to convince each other that they have money. Then both sets of parents rent out their homes and head for parts unknown.
That leaves Fanny and Charles married, penniless, with nowhere to rest their heads. They land on the doorstep of Charles's Aunt Martha who, after hearing their story, lets them stay with her.
A plan is hatched whereby both Fanny and Charles pretend to be cousins, pretend to be rich, and begin looking for better prospects. If they can find a better deal, they will have their unconsummated marriage annulled.
I never seem to tire of reading Ms. Chesney's books. Each one is a gift waiting to be opened.
Nice main characters
I read this free on KU. I was torn between giving this 3 or 4 stars. While I really liked the main characters, who were very different from most of this authors main characters, I didn't much like the parts where they were both chasing other partners. I realise if they hadn't, then the book would only have been a few short chapters. The h and H are tricked into marriage by their scheming parents. Both sets of parents haven't a feather to fly with but both lots believe that the other parents are very wealthy. As I said both main characters are nice people and they go ahead with the marriage. After the wedding the H goes back to find out what the story was with the false portraits they both saw of each other before the wedding. He discovers that both sets of parents have fled and he then feels sorry for the h missing a season and perhaps the chance of meeting the man of her dreams. He proposes that they pose as cousins and enjoy the season in London. There is a secondary romance between the H's friend and his aunt.
