Secrets of a Spinster

Arrangements, Book 3

By: Rebecca Connolly

Narrated by: Jessica Elisa Boyd

Behind every little secret....

Mary Hamilton has had enough of being passed over by all of the eligible men in London, though she's had years and years of practice, and she's ready to give it up. But before she hangs up her dancing shoes for good, she wants one season of everything she's never had - invitations, flirtation, and suitors. But will all of that actually give her what she's always secretly wanted?

There's another secret waiting....

Geoffrey Harris is more than happy to spend his time being permanent escort to Mary during her final season in London. After all, she's been his best friend for years, and what better way to send her off than in grand style? But when her plan actually starts to work, he isn't so sure he wants any part of it, leaving him to wonder what it is he does want. Or who.

Heartfelt Story

The "we're just friends" trope played out too long, though the very real fights they finally have is refreshingly raw. And so is the very well written shifts in H/h as each grows & affects the other. Very insightful! Still hero takes too long to come to scratch; and heroine stays too long in the "I'm a worm" spinster talk. Love the subplot with her sister. I teared up on that. This author is very skillfully. This is a solid 4.5 stars with the caveate that some of the second-half inner dialogue & foot-dragging of the couple could have been tightenedup a bit - maybe an hour less?

sweetness and strife

This story has a complex plot that is not not easily anticipated, The characters are well developed, but can surprise the reader.

Awesome

Love the story behind the book and the author is great will read more from her selection

Spinster….whatsoever shall they do

The ups and downs of life when the things you choose are not choosing you. This book is amazing and I recommend it highly. It made me laugh out loud. So great!!!

A well-written book!

I have not found any well-written Regency Romances in many years. "Secrets of a Spinster" by Rebecca Connolly came as a surprise for me. The book was well-written, had an interesting plot, was not too simple, and not easily anticipated. The characters were well developed, interesting, and fun. The narration was very well done. I am going to get another book by Rebecca Connolly hoping it is as well done as this one!
