"Governess Abigail Chantry will do anything to save her sister and two dearest friends from destitution, even if it means breaking into an empty mansion in the hope of finding something to sell. Instead of treasures, though, she finds the owner, Lady Beatrice Davenham, bedridden and neglected. Appalled, Abby rousts Lady Beatrice's predatory servants and--with Lady Beatrice's eager cooperation--the four young ladies become her "nieces", neatly eliminating the threat of disaster for all concerned! It's the perfect situation, until Lady Beatrice's dashing and arrogant nephew, Max, Lord Davenham, returns from the Orient--and discovers an impostor running his household. A romantic entanglement was never the plan for these stubborn, passionate opponents--but falling in love may be as inevitable as the falling of autumn leaves."-- P. [4] of cover.… (mere)

The Chance sisters are four young women - not all of them biological sisters - who find themselves in dire circumstances until they are taken under the wing of an aristocratic elderly lady who passes them off as her nieces. All is well until her nephew, Lord Davenham, comes home from Asia - of course he knows that the girls are not who they claim to be. He is set on finding out the truth about them, but then he develops feelings for the eldest sister.
Although it is foreseeable in most parts and the plot is improbable, I really enjoyed this novel. The story is well written and I rooted for the characters because I liked them a lot. The audiobook is narrated by Alison Larkin who does a splendid job.
I am looking forward to listening to the next one! ( )

The Autumn Bride
4 Stars

This book hits all the right notes. An arrogant and high-handed hero who meets his match in the feisty and endearing heroine.

Lord Max Davenham returns from the orient to discover that his beloved aunt has given refuge to a former governess, Abigail Chantry, and her mismatched "sisters". Some of the most wonderful banter ensues as Max and Abigail vie for supremacy in their relationship.

An entertaining read overall, and I look forward to continuing with the series. ( )

A sweet Anne Gracie. The romance wasn't the strongest ever but it was more than made up for with the lovely secondary characters. The book was mostly about Abby and her sisters, both real and of the heart, finding a place to live and thrive. The hero was sort of secondary but it was still a believable romance and I continue to enjoy AGs stuff.

The writing is smooth and the feel for the period good. I did think that the one sex scene was not really likely to have happened considering the previous characterizations of the hero and heroine. But eh what are ya gonna do?

Looking forward to the rest of the series. ( )

One of my favorite Regencies. Four girls band together to survive London and one finds romance after a bumpy path. The elderly widow character is great fun, makes the whole story work. Book 1 of 4. ( )

I liked these characters, aspects of them seemed very believable, and the setup was interesting. There are also actual good reasons for the miscommunication/secrets/etc. rather than just for the sake of throwing together some drama. Which I appreciate. ( )
