The review was originally posted at Library Cat book blog.Miss Penelope Fairweather had to move from rural England to sophisticated London in order to find a husband. But when the country girl meets the high society, the troubles begin. What follows, is numerous silly situations which will make you laugh so many times.Penelope is so nave young lady, her heart is so pure, she doesn't know how to lie or manipulate with people. She grew up with her father and stepmother, a stepmother who doesn't like her at home and sends her in London to get married. Her mother had a friend, and she promised to take care for her daughter. That friend, the dowager, takes Penelope under her protection. But the dowager has a son, the duke, who doesn't like Penelope, and a daughter, who sees a sister in her. It's not easy to host a young woman with no manners and a goat as a pet. Yes, you read well, a goat. Lady Bathsheba herself.After enjoying the first book from Anya Wylde, I was happy to read the second one. Nice, funny, romantic story that will warm any heart. You must love Penelope. That girl will stick to your heart. A person who has a goat as a pet, talks to her deceased mother, has a highwayman as a best friend. This young lady is everything but boring. And there is the Duke, so cold, but honest, and his sister, who is desperately in love. Penelope's ideas to help her to get to the heart of the beloving man were so hilarious and ridiculous. I forgot to mention Madam, the man who wears dress and helps young ladies to enter the society.Will Penelope finally succeed to find a husband? Whose heart will she win? Can she finally manage to enter the high society?Full of silly situations and extraordinary characters, Penelope's story can be easily described as funny and entertaining Cinderella story. I really enjoyed reading it. If you want some light reading that will relax you after the hardworking day, than this is the book for you. You won't regret it.My opinion: 4 / 5.
