Rules of Refinement: One Good Gentleman, Shameless, Redemption of a Marquess, A Marriage of Necessity
BOOKS FIVE THROUGH EIGHT OF THE MARRIAGE MAKER SERIES
ONE GOOD GENTLEMAN by Summer Hanford
Emilia Glasbarr doesn't want to be a country miss with a yard full of geese and a scant handful of neighbors. She wants the music, theater, and art found in Scotland's capital city. She's sunk her every resource into finishing school to find a city-dwelling husband. Unfortunately, the only man interested wants her for a far less savory purpose. Her virtue or her dreams...which must she abandon?
SHAMELESS by Tarah Scott
As the daughter of a well-known madam, Juliet thatcher knows more about men than she cares to - which is why she has no intention of following in her mother's footsteps. Juliet agrees to her mother's request that she attend Lady Peddington's School for Young Ladies to prepare her for life as a courtesan. She hopes that the school year will give her time to convince her mother to allow her to pursue a career as a dressmaker, instead.
When Lady Peddington extorts from Juliet a game of cards with notorious rake Duke Hamilton, Juliet knows there's only one way to deal with a man like him: beat him at cards., then disappear.
Carrick Hamilton, The Duke of Hamilton, does not sustain long romances. But Sir Stirling James knows he simply hasn't met a woman hot blooded enough to set his blood. . .and his heart - on fire. When Stirling challenges him to meet the woman Stirling swears he will marry, Carrick can't resist the challenge.
REDEMPTION OF A MARQUESS by Tarah Scott
Vatan Grey, the sixth Earl of Edmonds, The Marquess of Northington, has no wish to sire an heir. His three-year old nephew will carry on the title. His fertile sister has already borne her husband another son and a daughter for good luck. The title is safe, so why worry?
Miss Jeanine Matheson has graduated from Lady Peddington's School for Young Ladies. Only, Jeanine isn't interested in finding a husband - at least, not a young, healthy husband. she aspires to become a businesswoman like Lady Peddington. All she needs is a very rich, very elderly gentleman to marry her and then, well...pass on to his reward.
A MARRIAGE OF NECESSITY by Tarah Scott
When Viscountess Kinsley's father lost all but their home and then drank himself to death, creditors stood ready to seize what remained. Anne's only hope of saving her family is to find a husband through Lady Peddington's School for Young Ladies. Only, upon graduation, Anne finds herself the victim of jealous gossip that claims she seeks multiple lovers. Now no respectable man will have her.
Kennedy Douglas, Viscount Buchanan, has refused to marry - until his terminally ill father threatens to marry Kennedy's younger sister to a known wife-beater unless Kennedy immediately weds and produces an heir. The man known as The Marriage Maker matches Kennedy with the ravishing Viscountess Kinsely.

About the author
Summer Hanford
158 books110 followersSummer Hanford writes gripping Epic Fantasy, swashbuckling Historical Romance, and best-selling Pride and Prejudice retellings. She lives in the Finger Lakes Region of New York with her husband and compulsory, deliberately spoiled, cat. The newest addition to their household, an energetic setter-shepherd mix, has been trying, and failing, for six years to gain acceptance from the cat, but is adored by the humans.
Since the moment she read her first novel, Summer’s passion has always been writing. As a child growing up on a dairy farm, she built castles made of hay and wielded swords made of fence posts. She is also passionate about animals, travel, and organizing her closet. Nothing pleases her more than a row of tops broken down by sleeve length and ordered by color…except working on her latest novel with her cat in her lap, her dog lounging on the rug dreaming of squirrels, and a cup of tea at hand.

Marriage not a mockery
The first story with Juliet and Carrick was awesome! Juliet had no intention of becoming a Courtesan but became a mistress! Exciting conclusion to their HEA!
Rules of Refinement was about 2.5 stars the worst so far! I could not connect with Jeanine who was loud brash and thoughtless! I never really heard much of her plans for a school! Grey was indecisive all up until the end then suddenly smitten?
A marriage of necessity was the best yet! It was full of kidnapping, angry sickly father, and marrying for money 4.5 stars!!!

Great love stories
I enjoyed these stories and each one ending sooner than I wanted them to. I like it where you tell of family.
