Left with an estate on the brink of bankruptcy after their father's death, Lady Marigold Fairfax and her brother open a private investigation firm marketed to the elite . . . to spy on the elite. Dubbed The Imposters, Ltd., their anonymous group soon becomes the go-to for the crème of society when they want answers delivered surreptitiously. But the many secrets Marigold learns about her peers pale in comparison to her shock when she and her brother are hired to investigate her best friend's father as a potential traitor.

Story
Kate Matcham needs a fortune or a husband. She wants neither. With a tainted inheritance in the balance, she receives one offer to become a scoundrel's mistress and another offer of a marriage of convenience. Before resigning herself to a choice, she accepts the invitation to visit a childhood friend, considering it a last hurrah before embarking on a bleak future. The visit goes sideways when she falls for the gentleman her friend intends to marry, a man well out of Kate's league—and one who seems to be hiding something.

Publisher's Summary
Hampton Hall's new owner has the villagers of St. Hampton Heath all aflutter - all except Lavinia Ellison. The reverend's daughter cares for those who are poor and sick, and the seventh Earl of Hawkesbury definitely does not meet that criteria. His refusal to take his responsibilities seriously, or even darken the door of the church, leave her convinced he is as arrogant and reckless as his brother - his brother who stole the most important person in Lavinia's world.
Nicholas Stamford is shadowed by guilt: his own, his brother's, the legacy of war. A perfunctory visit to this dreary part of Gloucestershire wasn't supposed to engage his heart, or his mind. Challenged by Miss Ellison's fascinating blend of Bluestocking opinions, hoydenish behavior, and angelic voice, he finds the impossible becoming possible - he begins to care. But Lavinia's aloof manner, society's opposition and his ancestral obligations prove most frustrating, until scandal forces them to get along.
Can Lavinia and Nicholas look beyond painful pasts and present prejudice to see their future? And what will happen when Lavinia learns a family secret that alters everything she's ever known?

Terrific
What a really lovely story beautifully written. I like the romantic notions, the time and the Era. A light-hearted listen. I fully recommend.

A timeless tale sweetly narrated
Beneath the sweetness of the timeless tale of star crossed love lies the still relevant truth of social injustices perpetrated by those in whom we are taught to believe should be above such behaviour. Fast forward to 21st Century and take a close look at who are the people actively striving for more equality in standards of living, and who are those who are all talk and no action.

Sanctimonious and sulky
I think the author may have included some humour within the main protagonists’ thoughts and words, but it was lost in the poor narration. I didn’t mind the religious theme, but the peevish tone of the story-telling often left no space to reflect on issues raised. I stopped halfway through, and won’t return to this book.

very uninteresting
To many bible references, I'll give this whole series a miss and remove it from my library.

Sweet story
This was a little too biblical for my liking, however it was a sweet clean story. I felt there could have been an epilogue, but I feel that way with most books.

Incredible first book by this amazing author
I absolutely loved this book. It's better than Jane Austen in my opinion. The 2 main characters must overcome their pride to find true love. They must also learn to love as God does to be able to love each other. Can't wait for more by this author.

A sweet read with plenty of biblical references
This book is well read and the subtle changes in tone to indicate different characters is well done. You get a good idea of the personality of each character because of this.
This story borrows heavily from one of my favourite Jane Austen novels. Two characters that have difficulty dealing with their feelings for each other and the disparity in their social status. Person growth and insights into their own behaviour helps them find their HEA.
Nicholas Stamford is having trouble coming to terms with his inheritance especially living in the community where his brother had caused so much tragedy. He is torn between his heart and his family’s expectations with regard to the proper wife for him. His attentions are misinterpreted by our heroine and she judges him harshly.
Lavinia Ellison is the local vicar’s daughter and spends her life living up to the ideals of her dead mother. She comes to conclusions about the character of the people who populate this novel without really looking at them, or trying to understand them. Even when she sees evidence of contrary behaviour in Nicholas, she firmly sticks to her original opinions. Nicholas must prove her conclusions incorrect before she softens her opinion of him.
I knew that this was a sweet Christian romance before I came to it and yet the pages and pages of this novel dedicated to Bible verses were grating in the end. Just because Lavinia is a vicar’s daughter doesn’t mean that she needs to preach at the reader - that should be her father’s job.
