Lady Fortescue Steps Out (The Poor Relation, Book 1)

Rating:
Summary: Frivolous but fun...
Review: Although this isn't Dickens' Tale of Two Cities or Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, it is a funny and heart-warming book. I loved it! This is the first book in Chesney's Poor Relations series and introduces Lady Fortescue, as well as Colonel Sandhurst and the other poor relations who start up their aptly-named Poor Relation hotel.

Review: I loved this book and will probably read all of Marion Chesney's other works! I'm such a romantic history buff! I thought it was funny and entertaining and a delightful change from what some people think great readers should read - like books on the mating rituals of pigeons or something! If you love romance and like history, then I am sure you'll love this!

Summary: Loved It!
Review: This is the first Chesney book I read and it will probably be the last. It was depressing and SAD. The author condones stealing and makes it seem like a joke. And after they no longer have any reason to steal, some of them will obviously do it again. The people in general are made to appear dirty, rude, and without simple emotions like love, friendship, etc. The love-plot is pitiful and shallow. Marion Chesney should lighten up, give her characters some basic morals, and enjoy the Regency Era.
