4.0 out of 5 stars Should be "The Two Wicked Wards"....., February 29, 2008

This review is from: The Wicked Godmother (A House for the Season, Book 3) (Paperback)

in this third delightful installment of the "A House For The Season" series, we find 67 Clarges let by the unusually young guardian Harriet and her, at first glance, delightful twin wards Sarah and Annabelle.
Harriet is a country beauty, who was neglectfully reared by snobbish gentry parents, who died when she is 17.

The twins father, in treating Harriet like a surrogate daughter, unwittingly turns the twins away from Harriet, causing them to secretly hate her. There begins this regency's story-darker than the previous two in the series, but still quite enjoyable.

The heroines naivete' and brief periods of "too stupid to live", as well as the heroes sometime rough and vulgar treatment of Harriet, takes a star from the rating for this book-but I'd still suggest the book for Chesney fans if for no other reason than the continuation of the servants adventures.

This is definately a series that needs to be read in order-so please read book one and book two first as well.

4 stars.

This review is from: The Wicked Godmother (A House for the Season, Book 3) (Hardcover)

The staff has very good reason to arrange romance in the fashionable, yet rumored haunted, townhouse. They're paid a pittance by the property manager and must supplement their incomes; what better way? However, they are soon embroiled in a mess! Penniless Harriet is named guardian to snobbish and hateful twin sisters. Harriet arranges suitors for the sisters and soon the gentlemen see only Harriet's charms! A cruel betrayal will be her ruin unless the servants can save her honor when she loses her heart.
