Sir Philip's Folly (The Poor Relation, Book 4)
The owners of the Poor Relation Hotel are busy once again. This time, Sir Philip Sommerville has installed a vulgar, grasping woman in the hotel, and his co-owners are frantic to remove her. At the same time, they decide they must help a young guest find a husband. These experienced schemers almost make and break the wrong matches, but greed is revealed, and love triumphs. Like the others in this series (e.g., Lady Fortescue Steps Out , LJ 1/92; Miss Tonks Turns to Crime LJ 3/1/93), this is a lighthearted romp by a prolific genre author. Chesney skillfully creates spirited characters, including the older principals, and places them in a believable period atmosphere. For Regency collections.- Barbara E.
