Clean Regency Romance: Never Silly Sophie (Sisters By Marriage Book 4) by Jessica Spencer
Starts with a listing of the chapters then the story. London 1817 and we find Sophie is taking a ride with Mrs. Bridget Hastings, her mother.
She is always being told she has no sense and is silly....her adopted sister Isabelle is the one most favored and is sent to special high class school while Sohpie attends a nunnery.
They traveled from India to London and Sophie has been told a lot of different stories about her father and step father and she learns her mother disowned her as street urchins were harassing her...
She escapes and lands in Duke Christopher's carriage and finds a corner to sleep til she's discovered the next morning and brought in front of Christopher. He takes her under care but she runs away and saves a little boy from a carriage running him over.
The Barringtons then take her under their care and give her food, clothing and a beautiful room to live in while tending to the little boy, in their gardens. She is then kidnapped as her mother had made a deal with Jeremy but Christopher comes to her rescue again.
She overhears others conversations and will keep her distance from Christopher as she fears she's not in the same class and others will look down on them...He knows he is smitten with her and tries to keep her safe from harm and others...
Lots of drama as it is the season and so much gossip leads to other tales....
Things get complicated and you wonder who is going to end up with who...
Enjoyed the book but wish there were explanations to some of the words, the dictionary couldn't find them.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
