The spinster next door…Grace Morledge is a failure. Or so her
father believes, as she is unmarried despite her advantages. In his
mind, Grace must have significant flaws to be a spinster and something
must be done about them. To her mortification, he demands she be fully
examined and all flaws recorded. And the man he chooses is the worst
possible candidate of all. Aubrey Flint, Lord Ingram, has known Grace
since childhood, but he never anticipated Lord Trenwick demanding he
examine her for flaws. How can perfection have faults? Reluctantly, he
accepts the assignment, and finds far more than he bargained for, and
perfection becomes more and more tempting.
About the Author
Snippet
“They were smart to include you.”Grace jerked slightly to look at him again. “What?”
He nodded fervently. “I mean it. Georgie is no fool, Grace, and I have no doubt she made a study of the other unmarried women in Society. You are the best of the lot. It was only natural they should choose you.”
Her heart leapt for joy and seemed to be burning within her. “You don’t know the rest of the lot, Aubrey.”
“Don’t have to,” he quipped. “I know you.”
Oh, but the look in his eyes made her feel like a lovesick girl of twelve again, and it was all she could do to keep from smiling an accompanying lovesick smile that would have been entirely too obvious.
Not that she was lovesick. She was simply touched. And embarrassed. And perhaps a bit feverish.
That was all.
Aubrey blinked and the look was gone. He slapped his thighs and rose fluidly, running a hand through his hair and disheveling it in a way that reminded her of the boy she had known in Derbyshire, and her heart lurched.
“Well, I suppose that’s enough for today,” he rambled, his words not quite as crisp as normal. “I will see you tomorrow at the Sterlings’, and I will assess your interaction with various people at that point.”
Grace slowly rose, watching Aubrey curiously. “Very well. Miranda will be there, you know. We could confront her.”
“Yes, yes, excellent thought,” he replied absently. “I’ll bring my suit of armor for whatever she tosses in retaliation.”
Grace laughed at the image that brought, and Aubrey seemed to shudder at it.
“Right,” he said, turning to her and bowing. “Good day, Grace.”
“Good day, Aubrey.”
He left before she finished, and she stared after him, still curious.
What in the world?
Then her mother crossed the corridor, casting another knowing look at Grace. All curiosity and delight evaporated swiftly, and Grace snapped back into discontent, moving quickly towards the music room.
He was not good for her.
He couldn’t be.
Review
My Fair Spinster was a fun, enjoyable read. I enjoyed learning more about Grace and seeing her interact with Aubrey Flint. There are a lot of characters in this book, like all of the books in this series, and it was hard to keep track of who is who. I wish the author would include a list of the characters in the beginning. It would help the reader! This series is probably better as a binge read where you read book after book consecutively. It would be easier to keep track of the characters. I felt a little cheated after reading this story. I was waiting for a particular scene that just never came. This wasn't my favorite of the Spinster Series, but I think Regency Romance readers would find it "fair"ly enjoyable.
