From the Inside Flap
WILL THE LAST BEVERLEY DAUGHTER MARRY FOR MANNERLING?
Lizzie is the sixth and youngest daughter of the late Sir Beverely, the patriarch who gambled away their beloved estate, Mannerling. Each of Lizzie's sisters had been entrusted by their ambitious mother to cast lures for the various owners of their former home. Instead, each one happily married for love. Now it's Lizzie's turn to save Mannerling.
Yet the new owner, the Duke of Severnshire, is far too arrogant for Lizzie's heart. And while the duke has no intentions toward the saucy chit, her curt dismissal of him is perplexing--for no woman has ever refused him! Now, as his lavish house party to select a bride becomes a whirlwind of mismatches and scandal, lovely Lizzie is turning the duke's own thoughts away from a suitable marriage--to the wonders of falling in love! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good finale to this regency,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Homecoming (Daughters of Mannerling, Book 6) (Hardcover)
Lizzie Mannerling, the youngest of the sisters and the only unmarried one, is her mother, Lady Beverly's last hope to keeping the family house. When Gervase, the Duke of Sevenshire arrives to speak with his aunt, who is serving as a governess, Beverly sees her chance. If Lizzie marries the eligible bachelor, who has just purchased the house and seeks an aristocratic wife, the house remaisn with the family. There are three things wrong with Beverly's plan. The first is that Lizzie will only marry for love of a man, not a house. The second is that Gervase plans to make his own selection and Lizzie is not in the running. The third problem is the gothic house itself which seems opposed to any union between Lizzie and Gervase. So what's mother to do, simple interfere, matchmake, and pray that the two of them realize that they have a chance for a lifetime of love. The sixth and final installment in Marion Chesney's "Daughters of Mannerling" is a beautiful Regency romance. The lead protagonists are brilliantly written characters, but it is the myriad of eccentric yet extremely interesting secondary players that make THE HOMECOMEING, like its five predecessors in their particular years, into one of the top Regencies of this year.

This was my first book from Marion Chesney. An old-fashioned romance that is engaging and concise. I am hooked.

A Perfect finish,
By lizard115@hotmail.com (Alaska) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Homecoming (Daughters of Mannerling, Book 6) (Hardcover)
I discovered the Daughters of Mannerling quite by accident in the library one day, and got hook. I was worried about how this author would end her series, but the end makes everyone happy, with a slight shiver.
