Her instinct was to refuse a man with such mercenary intentions. But she couldnt turn away a paying client. Obviously, if the tall, muscular, dark-eyed physician had wanted a love match, hed have found one himself. Yet the truth about the pragmatic doctor is one that could very well turn her headand steal her heartproviding she discovers it before its too late.

At the age of thirty-five, Douglas Farrell was ready to sacrifice his bachelorhood for his true passioncaring for the poorest of Londons poor. But his dream requires capital. For that, he is convinced he needs a wealthy, well-connected wife. And for that, he needs the services of one mysteriously disguised, peculiarly accentedincreasingly captivatingwoman who will reveal herself only as the Mayfair Lady.

In this final book of the Duncan sisters trilogy, it's Chas's turn to find true love and get married. And although it's really not necessary, it would probably be helpful to the reader if they read the first two books in the series first. It will not only give the reader the chance to learn about Chas's character, but it will also give them the opportunity to meet her two older sisters and understand the depth of the bond between them.

I found Chas's and Douglas's love story to be the most enjoyable of the three sisters. No one can help but love and appreciate anyone who gives up a life filled with riches in order to help the poorest of the poor, as Dr. Douglas Farrell does. And the beauty of Chas's spirit makes her perfectly happy to live a life without the kind of riches her sisters were blessed with when they married their husbands. Her sweet-natured way of sympathizing with anyone and everyone she meets makes her the perfect choice for Douglas. She may not be able to help him financially, but she will be by his side at his clinic, getting her hands just as dirty as his. Now all the reader has to do is wait for Douglas to come to his senses and stop considering marrying the rich, yet incredibly annoying, rude and selfish Laura. As well as to wait for Chas to see that what she has to offer Douglas is beautiful, as well as priceless . . . and it's worth more than either of them could ever have dreamed of.

Jane Feather develops Chas's and Douglas's characters so well that sparks fly in every scene they're in together. So much so that you'll probably find yourself smiling when the two finally admit to the mounting desire they've been feeling for one another and share a passionate kiss. And you shouldn't be surprised if you find yourself eagerly anticipating the time when these two finally come together as one.

The only downside is that there's a good chance you'll find yourself sorry to see this story end, as it means we will no longer be seeing the Duncan sisters. But Jane Feather's ability to consistently create characters who quickly grow on us will make the loss of the sisters a little easier to bear, as we know we can count on seeing others who will quickly capture our attention and our hearts. Thank you, Ms. Feather.

Third in a trilogy - good read, need to read The Bachelor List & The Bride Hunt first to fully understand all the relationships! I normally do not read historical romance but enjoyed this trilogy.

Definitely read at least one of the books from the trilogy before this one. I haven't read the second one but I did the first. It gives you a good background on the girls and the "The Mayfair Lady."

Even though I liked the first one in the series, I really thought this one was lighter and more fun. Chastity and Douglas were very playful together. This one was less political and more personal.

There were a few things I wanted more of: The ending I thought needed more closure. Being a trilogy I expected to revisit the other sisters a bit more as well. I also wished more time was spent on the Contessa. She was a little too much like wallpaper. I was curious to know what type of wonderful woman would actually raise such a horrible daughter.

But overall, it was a great read. Light and easy.

Third in a series dealing with the youngest sister Chastity. The first 2 can be found in one volume together if you look around... it will save you a credit to order it that way!
