If you have a Wild, Unruly, or Undisciplined Daugher, two Ladies of Genteel Birth offer to Bring Out said Daughter and Refine what may have seemed Unrefinable. We can make the Best of the Worst'When Amy and Effie Tribble, two charming but impoverished spinster sisters, lose out on an inheritance, they place this advertisement in The Morning Post and hire themselves out as professional chaperones. Vowing to prepare even the most difficult misses for marriage, the Tribble sisters will spend a London season on each client, educating them in their School for Manners.Fiona has been sent to them by her guardians as a last resort, for at nineteen, the beautiful and wealthy Scottish heiress still has no prospect of a suitable marriage. The Tribbles are puzzled, however, by their charge's demure perfection, until they take her to her first ball - and discover she is an incorrigible flirt! And when quizzed by the Tribbles Fiona betrays her real feelings ... so the sisters are forced to confront the truth about her past!

5.0 out of 5 stars Regency Romp 25 Aug 2012
By Damaskcat HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Lovely Fiona Macleod is an heiress though her father was in trade. Her fortune is big enough for the fashionable ton to overlook her origins but even though she has had several proposals of marriage she has turned them all down. Her aunt and uncle have not treated her well but they decide to hand her over to the Tribbles who have set themselves up as chaperones who can get any girl, however difficult, married suitably. The Tribbles have one instruction - do not let Fiona become involved with Lord Peter Harvard. Unfortunately he seems to be the one man Fiona might be interested in.

Amusing with eccentric characters and a likeable hero and heroine this is an entertaining read and the second in `The School for Manners' series. I love Effie and Amy who are far from conventional ladies and you can't help admiring their sterling efforts to make a living for themselves. I like Mr Haddon, the quiet and humorous Indian Nabob, who has known them both for years.

Anyone who enjoyed this author's other two series `The Travelling Matchmaker' and `The Six Sisters' will enjoy `The School for Manners' series. They can be read in any order but it is easier to follow the Tribbles' fortunes if they are read in the order in which they were published. This is the second book in the series which started with Refining Felicity (School for Manners 1).

3.0 out of 5 stars twee! 24 Feb 2013

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I enjoy M C Beaton books as always very varied. this school for manners series are a little bit all the same (it's the second one I've read) i.e. problem girl meets rich husband, hate each other at first, the 'teachers' panic that their business is going to fail etc.
