THE GOOD FORTUNE OF MISS ROBBINS by MELANIE DICKERSON

Publication date 17/5/26

THE GOOD FORTUNE OF MISS ROBBINS by MELANIE DICKERSON is a beautiful Regency romance novel with a lovely story and unforgettable characters. There is also a gentle Christian message running through the book.

Charlotte Robbins longs for love and family, having been orphaned when she was five years old. She grows  up at Mrs Southey’s school for young ladies and ends up teaching there. Although she is happy and has good friends, she longs for adventure. She bravely applies for a position as governess to look after Lord Brookhaven’s seven year old siblings. …..

William, the Earl of Brookhaven, has grown up with distant, unloving parents and spent most of his life at a strict boys’ boarding school.

These two unlikely people have a great deal in common, in spite of being at opposite ends of the social scale. William finds Charlotte refreshing and honest,  and far more interesting than the spoilt and selfish young women who are looking to catch a titled husband……

When Charlotte inherits a fortune and goes to London to meet and mix with the ton, things change for them both…….

There are secrets, there is unkind gossip, and Charlotte finds that being rich can be dangerous and often attracts the wrong kind of attention…..

I cannot recommend this most enjoyable read strongly enough. 

I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
