Summary
 Gloucestershire, 1813. Miss Mary Lound of Tapley End would be the first to say that she demonstrates more grace with a fishing rod in her hand than she might ever twirling in a ballroom. This was not, however, a problem until her ne'er-do-well brother sold the family estate, leaving Mary and her mother in very straitened circumstances. When the new owner, Sir Rowland Kempsey, takes up residence, Mary decides to direct her energies into recovering her beloved home by catching a husband.

Promisingly Sir Rowland thinks Miss Lound is a breath of fresh air. But with awkward attempts at flirtation, a duplicitous predator at large in the neighbourhood and the emergence of feelings that complicate her pragmatic goal, Mary discovers that landing the man she wants is more difficult than she had anticipated.©2024 Sophia Holloway (P)2025 W.

Very well-written, interesting story that easily keeps the reader absorbed. Some aspects of the plot and associated character development were reminiscent of various Georgette Heyer novels. Nothing wrong with that, especially when the whole is so well-done! Unlike GH, whose villains are (mostly) simply devious and villainous, some of the less likeable characters in this novel are bewilderingly bad, constantly taking the wrong course, despite opportunities to reflect, and do better. I guess we all know people like that...Narration was excellent. Highly recommended - think I’ll go back and re-read some of Sophia Holloway’s earlier books!

Outstanding!
