Freedom. That’s all Lady Honor Baxendale wants—for her sisters and for herself. Honor has a bold plan to become financially independent, using a skill she learned at her father’s knee. She seeks the help of a solicitor and is pleased with her choice… as long as she can resist the solicitor himself.

Lord Edward Winborne has been happy to come to the aid of his four sisters in the past. But when a neighbor’s daughter, Lady Honor Baxendale, requests his help for a dangerous scheme she has in mind, he feels it is his duty to dissuade her. When that fails, he wants to protect her, and then somehow finds he wants to do more. Much more.

Sweet and charming

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 4, 2016

I had no expectations of this book because it was a free download. I'd read and enjoyed 'The Seduction of Lady Charity" and so I took a chance on this one. I'm glad I did as it's a short and sweet read - it's also almost clean except for some bizarre lines near the end. I really wondered why the author even bothered writing them when she faded to gray anyway. Still nice story about the h, who is the oldest of the 5 girls and although this book is part of the Baxendale series, she isn't a Baxendale. Her father died and her mother remarried. During her first season she had an unfortunate encounter with a rake and she's no longer interested in marriage. Her stepfather is now having financial difficulties and she's devised a way of getting money for him. The stepfather is an idiot and I've no idea why she wanted to help him. He schemes to marry the h off to a perverted older Duke. The h seeks the H for some help in tracking down the man who swindled her father out of his fortune. The H is a younger son with no real prospects so he works as a solicitor. He was lovely and honourable and also had no intention of marrying because his heart was broken years before. The main characters meet as they are neighbours in the country. I loved the fact that the author used a light hand with both main characters and their former miseries didn't define them. It's short and sweet so there's no real deep character development but rather a charming romance.

+++Spoilers+++
For those who care and want to know about the h's past - it isn't at all bad and not as bad as we're led to believe. Read it - it's free.

Lady Honor's Dept: (The Baxendale Sisters Book One)

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 23, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is the first of Ms. Andersen's books I've read. I found the story cute, but the ending was abrupt and there was really a nonexistent courtship......then they're married. 😳

The leading lady, Lady Honor, is a stepdaughter of a grumpy man that she feels she can never please. Come to find out, the family is in financial woes. Lady Honor sets out to rectify the matter...and the way she chooses to do so is dangerous and mot planned out well.

The leading gentleman, a neighbor, Lord Edward Winbourne, just happens to be a fledgling barrister.....the two get reacquainted after years of not seeing each other......and you're off to the races, so-to-speak. She seeks him out for help with her plan to get the family's money back from a card shark and cheater.....whom caused her real father to commit suicide after he was cheated out of everything. There is the plot......good plot....needs more.

For the most part, the characters were just okay...rather weak in my opinion....all of them needed more development....they could have been very interesting and enchanting.

As to the ending....well it just ended. There again it needed more, it seemed rushed and almost desperate. There's one character in the book that shows up at the end that really doesn't make much sense.....desperation to add a bit of excitement maybe? Who knows.

I gave the book four stars because it was a cute story and I was entertained for the most part. It just needed more....a dash here and there, more courtship to make it more believable, a better ending and you'd have a five star book. There were several funny things that happened in the book....one in particular involving a Duke was quite pleasing.

So all in all, if you're looking for a light read, this is it. This book breezes by and is easy to read....and you don't really have to think about it. So with all that said.....

Happy reading and Cheers! 🍻🍻🍻🍻

I truly liked this story. It wasn't too long or too short. Honor and Edward are neighbors and they know of each other. Edward is a solicitor who wants to establish himself before he gets married. Honor was once embroiled in a truly frightening experience. But she recovered. Her step-father wants her to marry the duke that has been sniffing around her. Honor is not amused. When they are at his estate, the duke takes Honor and a few other out the the grotto on the estate. Edward who has joined them and her sister Faith are on the beach along with Mr. Warne (who we meet again in Faith's story) to gather seashells. But it is too breezy so they go back to the grotto where the duke is climbing out of the water. Honor pushed him when he made inappropriate comments to her. Needless to say the duke didn't make an offer. Everyone returns to their homes and Honor's step-father has agreed to a season for Faith. Honor will accompany them. When Honor goes to Edward's office she asks him to help her with something. He does help her and even gives her the money for her jewels instead of pawning them. He's not so sure about her reasons for wanting the money but finds out when she goes to the gambling den. Any way, the person who ruined Honor's father is who she wants to ruin. But he seems to recognize Honor and insults her and then cheats. Everyone at the establishment knows about it after another gentleman accuses him of it. Honor has lost about half her money but she leaves the establishment and goes back the ball where her step-father is waiting for her. He says she has disgraced herself and sends her off to his sister's place in Northumberland. Honor is very sad her aunt isn't very good company. And there is no place in the village for young people. Edward follows her to tell her that he loves her and wishes to marry her. Alls well that ends well.

A lovely "ugly-duckling" story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

It’s 1822 Kent (England) and Lady Honor Baxendale, a self-confessed ugly duckling, fails to see anything remotely attractive in her mirrored reflection. Convinced her destiny is that of spinsterhood, nonetheless she is far from immune to attractive male faces. She nonetheless masks any notion of interest in the one man who proves to be a reliable friend and trusted confidante. The truth of her reluctance to engage in a meaningful relationship lies in her past, for once bitten by the romance bug and her heart thus duly broken by a rotten cad, she is determined never to fall prey to a scoundrel again. And yet, she is bravely in pursuit of a dastardly scoundrel for reasons I cannot reveal, else I shall spoil the plot. Suffice to say, and befitting the times, a suitor of means is keening her hand and lurking in the wings, and all whilst another who admires her immensely plays a trump ace in a final attempt to bring the self-imposed ugly duckling forth from her reluctant hiding place. This is a novella fittingly true to the concept of a short read that must be a complete story, sometimes spanning weeks, months, and years, therefore novellas are much harder to pen than full-length novels because every aspect of the story requires short scene takes, concise descriptions, and for the most part, dialogue driven plots work well for the Regency genre.

A different plot and likeable characters... but I was left disappointed in the last few chapters.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 16, 2015

Verified Purchase

This story started off with a different plot and likeable characters. Edward was charming, and Honor was a competent, older heroine, who had a 'past', and also a not very happy present or future. The writing style was also unexceptional. So why just three stars. I think it was because I was left disappointed in the last few chapters. It was as if it had been hurrriedly completed. The plot sort of jumped, and the relationship between Edward and Honor became - to me - quite out of character, in fact a bit like in one of the less classy romances written by rote. I feel that a chance was lost to produce a book on a thoughtful and delicate relationship. I don't have anything against a bit of hotter romance, but like the triter relationship generally at the end, it all seemed a bit out of place.

By all means read this and enjoy some light reading, but it will probably not be a book you will remember.

Short and sweet

I found all the character's to be likeable and the story was interesting. It felt a bit short though so the ending felt a bit rushed and a lot was crammed in at the last moment. Still a good read.

Save me from boredom

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 5, 2015

I have no idea how I made it to the end of this predictable book with the fluffiest of storylines.
Ill conceived and poorly executed. I truly wish I could give it zero stars.
