4.0 out of 5 stars Fourth in the "Six Sisters" series of comedy Regency romances 9 April 2012
By Marshall Lord TOP 100 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
This book is the fourth in the "Six Sisters" series of humorous Regency romances, each of which has as its central character one of the six daughters of the Reverend Armitage, a warm-hearted but reprobate "squarson" (a word formed by combining squire and parson, which was a nickname used at the time for a vicar who acted more like a local dignitary than a man of God.) The Reverend Armitage much prefers hunting or enjoying himself to preaching or caring for his parishioners.

This fourth book tells the story of the fourth daughter, Daphne, who is perhaps the most beautiful of his six attractive daughters, and possibly gets up to the most absurd tricks when the question or her marriage becomes a possibility. Which is odd, because she is the first one not to face pressure from her father to marry a rich husband ...

At the start of this book, The Reverend Charles Armitage is finally financially comfortable again, following the marriages of his elder three daughters to very wealthy men. And he has, perhaps a slightly guilty conscience at having pushed them so hard to do so, although all the marriages have turned out to be love matches. So he is not minded to interfere when his fourth daughter Daphne, who at this stage is described as a "dazzling beauty" but completely wrapped up in her own appearance, wants to marry the elegant and beautiful dandy, Mr Archer. That hat gentleman is no more than comfortably off and renowned for his "total lack of brain" but if he is really Daphne's choice she will be allowed to marry him.

But then Daphne meets the formidable and terrifying Mr Simon Garfield in very embarrassing circumstances. At the first suggestion that he might be interested in her, Daphne pretends to be mad.... Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Number four in the Six Sisters series 16 Mar 2012
By Damaskcat HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book continues the interconnected stories of how the six daughters of Charles Armitage find husbands and is number four in the series. Daphne is famous in her family for apparently only being interested in her appearance, which it has to be said, is beautiful.

She meets Simon Garfield in strange circumstances and her father - with his eye for the main chance - wants her to marry him because he is rich. What happens when Daphne is taken to London for the Season makes entertaining and amusing reading.

Those who have read the first three books in the series will be delighted to renew their acquaintance with Daphne's three older sisters, Minerva, Annabelle and Deirdre as well as their parents and Lady Godolphin and her malapropisms.

The book is well written and a good light read. If you enjoy historical novels with more than a touch of humour and well drawn and likeable characters then give this series a try. They can be read in any order as each story stands alone but it is best to read them in the order in which they were published starting with Minerva (The Six Sisters Series)

3.0 out of 5 stars 4th in series. 27 April 2012
By StarPlayer
Format:Paperback
Daphne Armitage is the acknowleged beauty of that family of renowned belles, but beauty is more than skin deep. Black-haired, exquisite Daphne is certain she can avoid the turmoil of true love by demanding nothing more of a husband than to be an elegant companion. Teh self-absorbed Mr Archer seems to fit the bill to perfection. But when Mr Simon Garfield agitates Daphne's calm outward manner, the results are dramatic and delightful!

This was quite boring to start with. I was thinking of putting it down and not finishing it when, about half way, there was that OMG! moment and, man did I laugh. There was also a few witty and hilarious moments scattered through out the book (not many though), which is why I have given it a low 3 stars. An OK addition to the series.

The next two, imo, are not really worth reading unless you want to finish the series and have nothing else at hand to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read 23 April 2013
By Cool
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm a fan of M C Beaton books and the Six Sisters Series is a great read. The story is about a sister looking for love and happiness and the challenges she faces in getting a husband. As with all M C Beaton books it is an easy but compelling read.
