Mrs. Budley Falls from Grace

By Marion Chesney and M.C. Beaton

Book Overview

The loveable characters from the Poor Relation Hotel return in this sparkling and adventurous Regency romance from M. C. Beaton.

Eliza Budley is a beautiful widow whose husband gambled away his fortune. So when the poor relations need to acquire some valuables to keep the hotel afloat and Eliza draws the short straw, Lady Fortescue reminds the others that Mrs. Budley has no relatives on whom she can call. Gentle Mrs. Budley thinks she has escaped her fate until Sir Philip comes up with a plan. He has heard that the elderly Marquess of Peterhouse is senile, a widower, extremely rich, and unlikely to remember whether Mrs. Budley is a relative or not. So off Mrs. Budley goes to the bleak castle, where the marquess turns out to be not so old, hardly senile, and, in fact, quite handsome.

Customer Reviews

Wonderfully daring, romantic, and exciting.

It is the story of the lamb being thrown into the lion's den all over again. Except this time there is a chance of love, a hint of passion. I absolutely loved this book. This was the first romance I had ever read and that was five years ago. Now I can read it over and over again and still love it. Mrs. Budley is a wonderful character and as she falls from grace, she falls with a loud thud. I can honestly recommend this for anyone: beginner, a romance-aholic, or anything in between. It is, in short, a wonderful romance.
