![]() But first, they must face and admit their feelings. Traveling in close quarters, the pair fluctuates between enemies and friends, and one night of passion could lead to the biggest mistake of their lives or the best thing that ever happened to them. Now adults, Griffith accompanies Charity and Griffith’s sister on a singing tour. Charity and Griffith’s families have been friends for almost twenty years, and the pair grew up together. How Not to Chaperone a Lady is an enemies-to-lovers historical romance that follows Charity Brookes, a popular opera singer, and Griffith Philpot, an inventor and businessman. I recommend it if you like historical romance with a hint of a scandal.Ĭopy kindly provided by the Publisher/Author. I've just finished this novel and I already want to read a new book from Virginia Heath, because I can't get enough of her writing. I was caught up in story since the first chapter, the main characters banters and their self analysis keep the rithm flowly and lively. It was beautiful to see them grow and slowly let each other see their true self, baring their souls at the very end. I've really enjoyed to follow Charity and Griffith in this journey. What started as the opportunity to go for a big unchaperoned adventure with her best friend Dorothy, soon became travelling with Dorothy's brother, the insufferable and boring Griffith.Ĭharity and Griffith have had a rocky relationship for years, but maybe what they think it is a mutual dislike hides some deeper feelings, they are not ready to accept. ![]() In the previous books she was depicted as the wildest and the most stubborn among the Brookes sisters, but in this one we can also see her commendable work ethic and her kind soul.Ĭharity finally got the success she deserves as an opera singer and she is requested for a tour in the North. We finally come to know Charity Brookes better. How Not To Chaperon A Lady is the third and last book in The Talk of the Beau Monde trilogy. *I am voluntarily leaving a review for an eARC that I requested and was provided to me by the publisher. This is the third and final book in the series, but it could be read as a standalone title. The book is filled with misunderstandings, erroneous assumptions, a lot of emotion, a shotgun wedding, warm love scenes, and finally a HEA that didn’t seem possible. Heath does a very convincing job of showing the reader the fine line Charity walks and that not everyone considers her a “lady”. ![]() It is well written and very emotional, but it does stretch the limits of credibility that an opera singer, who is no stranger to gossip and scandal is accepted by the ton and has hopes of marrying the heir to a duke. This book is the final installment of the trilogy and in my opinion the hardest sell of the three from the author to the reader. HEA doesn’t seem like a possibility for these two, even though they both love the other… And explanations that lead to a night of passion and more hurt feelings. But much to her surprise, Griff is helpful and considerate during the trip, until the final leg of the journey, when things are said that change everything. She is sure he will ruin their trip, not to mention hamper her plans to attend a house party of Lord Denby, the man she is hoping to marry. Likewise, Charity has long harbored a tendre for Griff, but he has always seemed to disapprove of her, leading her to rename him, Gruff Griff, the Fun Spoiler. Griff, who has been in love with Charity for years, but sure she would never return his affection and therefore avoids her whenever possible. After a successful run on Drury Lane, Charity agrees to a tour to perform in Northern England and invites her dearest friend Dorothy to join her, but when no family members are available to chaperone, her parents agree to have the son of their long-time family friend’s son and Dorothy’s older brother Griffith Philpot to accompany them as he has business to attend up north, much to Charity’s dismay. After years of singing in her opera star mother’s shadow, Charity Brooks is finally getting her due.
