Fiction. Romance. Historical Fiction. HTML:With "spirited characters," a New York Times bestseller blends the tales of a besotted elderly nobleman and a debutante whose mother refuses her a season (Library Journal).

Sir Philip has fallen in love. But has the old man lost his mind? His colleagues at the popular hotel, the Poor Relation, have to wonder. The smitten nobleman has installed his paramour at the hotelâ??and he's the only one who doesn't seem to notice that Mrs. Budge is a vulgar, grasping leech who just might eat them out of whatever profits the hotel is finally making. How do they get rid of Mrs. Budge while also carrying on the hotel's matchmaking tradition?

Meanwhile, the London Season in full swing, and a sweet debutante guest is being kept from coming out by her scheming widowed mother, who hopes to land a new husband herself! It's up to the eccentric cast of the Poor Relation to free the darling girl from her dastardly mother long enough to marry her off, all while opening Sir Philip's eyes to the truth about his beloved. Fortunately, the founders of the Poor Relation are masters of romanceâ??doomed and otherwise

I found the writing in this entry of the Poor Relations Hotel series not up to the quality I had come to expect. For example:
"Lady Fortescue, who had overheard the aside, reflected that no one could ever call Miss Tonks pretty, and yet the new hair-style made her look undoubtedly interesting and mundane."
Interesting and mundane!!?! Mundane means 'lacking interest'!

I also found that this Kindle edition has several noticable formatting/proofreading errors, the worst one being a sentence which was clearly made by combining two different sentences with who knows how much omitted in between!
"Arabella sat and quietly ate another cake before stand-yet, why should he worry? he wondered." (he being Sir Philip, who was not in the scene with Arabella just prior to this!). ( )

Extremely silly installment in the Poor Relations series where old Sir Phillip brings a most unsuitable paramour to the Poor Relations hotel. How is is extricated from this relationship involves the usual silly misadventures ( )

Sir Philip’s Folly - Chesney -
Audio performance by Davina Porter
3 stars

This is not great literature. It’s mildly humorous and pleasantly distracting. A completely non-stressful way to spend four listening hours. Sir Philip and his Mrs. Budge are too unpleasant to be humorous. Arabella is this predictable story’s only saving grace. It’s nice that there was a female character with some intelligence and backbone. ( )

Nice regency. I read on Kindle. Old-fashioned but sweet. Not as a musing as some of the earlier books on the series. ( )
