Four witty and romantic Regency frolics suitable for all ages.
THE WEAVER TAKES A WIFE Haughty Lady Helen Radney is one of Regency London’s most beautiful women and the daughter of a duke, but her sharp tongue has frightened away most of her suitors. When the duke loses his fortune, he turns to his last remaining asset: his daughter.
Enter Mr. Ethan Brundy, once an illegitimate workhouse orphan, now owner of a Lancashire cotton mill and one of the richest men in England. When he glimpses Lady Helen at the theatre, he is instantly smitten and vows to marry her. But this commonest of commoners will have his work cut out for him if he hopes to win the heart of his aristocratic bride…
BRIGHTON HONEYMOON Sir Aubrey Tabor began with the most altruistic of motives. When the Brundys’ seaside wedding trip is interrupted by a young woman claiming to be Mr. Brundy’s sister, Sir Aubrey promises to do what he can to relieve his friend of an imposter whose presence poses a threat to marital bliss.
But Polly Hampton proves to be more than a match for Sir Aubrey, and with each encounter, he finds himself thinking less of his friend’s honeymoon, and more about having one of his own…
FRENCH LEAVE Forced by bankruptcy and scandal into exile in France, Lord Waverly expects never to return to his homeland until, staggering home from a gaming hell before dawn, he encounters a young novice escaping a convent. Waverly reluctantly agrees to take her to her English grandfather.
Alas, he soon realizes the enormity of his task. When he delivers the irrepressible Lisette to her grandfather’s home only to discover that the man is dead, Waverly is left with no alternative but to offer her the protection of his name. But this marriage of convenience is likely to prove very inconvenient indeed…
THE DESPERATE DUKE When his father’s death makes 23-year-old Theodore Radney the Duke of Reddington, the weight of his new responsibilities is enough to send him to London in a panic. Soon Theo has accumulated a pile of debts—and can’t touch his inheritance until his father’s will is probated. His brother-in-law, Ethan Brundy, agrees to lend him the money, if Theo will work in the mill until probate is granted.
Daphne Drinkard and her mother are forced to take in boarders after the death of her father. When a Parliamentary candidate hires a room for a series of meetings, Daphne sees her last chance to salvage their fortunes. Still, she’s far more intrigued by the newest resident. Mr. Tisdale is obviously a gentleman—but why would a gentleman be working in a mill?
All 4 books are great reads that you just don't want to stop reading. My fave is the first one about Lady Helen and her weaver. They appear in all 4 books. The 2nd is about one of his best friends trying to take a "fake long lost sister" off his hands... the 3rd is about a previous rakish guy who fancies her even after she is married and the chase a 17 year old French orphan leads him on while trying to find her English grandfather...the last story is about Lady Helen's younger irresponsible brother growing up to become the man the family has wanted him to become and how Lord Tinsdale save the mill and gets the girl he wants... I enjoyed them all and wish there were more stories as I already miss them... very enjoyable series...now on to another of hers....
It's one in the morning and I am sleepy and tired but there is no way I was sleeping till I finished the last book in the series. I loved all the characters in the books. Ethan Brundy is such a different hero from the norm, but a beloved one. Helen is a delight as are the rest of the heroes and heroines in the four books. I'm so glad that Theo is the hero in the last book and finally achieved his HEA. It made for a lovely ending to the series. Hmm, now that I think about it I sincerely hope Sheri Cobb South adds more books to the series. After all, there's Charley and William to find love. William has already seen the earls daughter and fell instantly in love. Here's hoping!
I enjoyed all of the stories in this box set. The characters all seem so real. More detailed than the usual Regency characters. I liked that they were from all levels of society, not just aristocracy. Highly recommended for anyone who loves traditional Regency romances.
i really enjoyed the books and the characters! super fun and action-packed! ethan has surely become one of my favorite regency heroes! i least liked the third book in the series it was just very different than usual and not in a good way, also still hated lord waverly by the end of this series!
I really like this series and Ethan is my love. And he can drop every “h” the strength of character and generosity . The aristocracy may have a lineage , but cannot stand to this gentle man. Now let’s see how the Pickett series stand up
I really enjoyed this series. Each story is sweet and I would recommend these books to anyone that enjoys reading historical romance stories without the steamy stuff.
I read these book’s several years ago and liked them very much; this time, I absolutely loved them. This author is so good that you want to continue reading. I confess I would love to read more about the weaver and his family.
I enjoy Sheri Cobb South's writing. The first 3 books had good writing but terrible plots. However the fourth book was very enjoyable. Short and sweet.
I loved the standalone book 'The Weaver takes a Wife' so much that I purchased the complete box set and each book is a wonderful love story I loved getting to know each of the characters and the love story they tell. It is a wonderfully emotional journey as you come to care for each character, I'm sure you'll love them as well.
