Description

He's a gentleman with rakish tendancies but she's determined to be the perfect spinster.
Miss Olivia Redfield's prospects for marriage are nonexistent, bleak at best. Removed from society for an ill-fated physical defect, she's resigned herself to caring for others in a somewhat dreary existence...That is, until she finds herself falling for the charming but unattainable, Lord Kingsley.
Gabriel Fellowes, Earl of Kingsley is doing a favor for a friend by overseeing the dangerous–– but promising––mine on the border of Viscount Hallowell's property. With extra time on his hands, he finds himself irresistibly provoked by the viscount's nymph–like daughter and delights in needling her as well. In no position to promise more than a dalliance, Gabriel takes the unprecedented step of becoming her friend.  
Their flirtatious attachment threatens to erupt in passion, but duty and honor forbid anything more.  Will love be defeated when tragedy strikes, or can these two overcome Society's dictates and conquer a century old curse?

    This book is a page turner. Shows how wrong some can be when it comes to a disability. Also that parents can discriminate more against a child than others do.
  • Fabulous romance

    The Perfect Spinster is book two in the Not So Saintly Sisters series by Annabelle Anders. I haven’t read book one in this series. But I will definitely go back now. This book was very well written. I adored Olivia Redfield. She is a heroine with the physical challenge of a lazy eye. I was touched at the way Anders gently approached this topic. She gives Olivia such dignity and such innocence. The hero Gabriel Fellowes is no angel. In fact, he is quite an awful rogue, especially in his relationship with Olivia. I loved this book and couldn’t put it down. Will be going back to read book one now. I was gifted a copy of this book.

    The Perfect Spinster by Annabelle Anders I loved this book so much it is one I will read again and again! I literally laughed out loud reading the first chapter!!! I won’t spoil it for you but, I know you will laugh out loud too! What a great opening to this beautifully written tragic to hea emotional story! I loved and had great empathy for the main character Olivia, who was so beautiful and kind however, was subjected to unbelievable cruelty by her own parents and society all because she had been born with a lazy eye. The pages will fly through this action packed storyline that brings to light the damaging effects of society’s ignorant superstitious stigma of calling someone cursed and blame them for everything that goes wrong in the community. In addition to the impact of being subjected to cruel ridicule, and social unacceptance, can weigh on even the strongest of people! Gabriel was a perfect balm to Olivia’s plight with his witty playful teasing of her and the slow burn romantic feelings that ignited between them. I highly recommend this book. It would be a better read if you haven’t read book one The Perfect Debutant, only because the first book has spoilers for this story. Even if you have read the first book this is still a fantastic read! Happy Reading!
