Grace (The Shackleford Sisters Book 1)

By: Beverley Watts

In this funny Regency romance series, the Shackleford sisters descend on a Regency society that doesn't know what's hit it... ....Reverend Augustus Shackleford's mission in life (aside from ensuring the collection box was suitably full every Sunday) was to secure advantageous marriages for each of his eight daughters. A tall order, given the fact that in the Reverend's opinion they didn't possess a single ladylike bone in the eight bodies they had between them. Quite where he would find a wealthy titled gentleman bottle headed enough to take any of them on remained a mystery and indeed was likely to test even his legendary resourcefulness. .... Grievously wounded at the Battle of Trafalgar, Nicholas Sinclair was only recently returned to Blackmore after receiving news of his estranged father's unexpected death. After an absence of twenty years, the new Duke was well aware it was his duty to marry and produce an heir as quickly as possible. However, tormented by recurring nightmares after his horrific experiences during the battle, Nicholas had no taste to brave the ton's marriage mart in search of a docile obedient wife. ..... Never in his wildest dreams did Reverend Shackleford envisage receiving an offer for his eldest daughter from the new Duke of Blackmore. Of course, the Reverend was well aware he was fudging it a bit in describing Grace as respectful, meek or dutiful, nevertheless, he could never have imagined that his eldest daughter's unruliness might end up ruining them all.... Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit and humor and a little bit of steam. Praise for the Shackleford Sisters: 'Very funny, kept laughing out loud when reading them.' 'Such an entertaining series, full of laughter and delightfully quirky characters.' 'Terrific series, very funny.' 'Thoroughly enjoyed this series, love the humour.' 'There is constant action and so much funny banter, I couldn't help laughing.' 'These were wonderful. Lots of fun and great love stories.'
