Simply delightful! This series is chock full of a light witty humour that tickles the fancy. In this final instalment, we are given a sensible Earl’s daughter, Isabel. Isabel has grown up in shambles, her father not having two farthing to rub together. Thus, when given the opportunity to have a season in London with The Duchess, she is decided to marry only for stability. Every fallback must be accounted for even if it means denying her heart. Mr.Harry Vance has watched the other couples of The Society of Sponsoring Ladies while searching for ‘her’, the one meant for him. He quickly comes to realize Isabel is the one, but he must to great lengths to convince her to choose him while he continues to deny her heart. Harry’s grand gesture was so over the top that it couldn’t help but thaw the coldest heart. Talk about a message of stability. 🥰 All in all this story is pure joy. I greatly enjoyed this series of adventurous, often absurd, journeys to love. The relationship between each of the ladies and their sponsor was always sweet, even a you rolled your eyes at the matrons antics. The epilogue of this story was a lovely bonus, summing up all of the secondary characters settling. This was the perfect bow to wrap the gift I this series. Delightful!

The Final Lady To Be Sponsored.

Ooh, Theodosia, Duchess of Stanbury had waited patiently to find her own lady to sponsor and finally here she is Isabel Beauford, the daughter of the Earl of Somerdon.

The Society of Sponsoring Ladies are at it again, with laugh out loud moments full of their capers. It’s worth reading all this series just to read about them, it’s so entertaining!

Isabel’s life had been hard growing up with her father, her home was falling to pieces, they had but one staff member, she had to do most of the cleaning and there was hardly any food. A modern day Cinderella that she decided when the Duchess arrived, she would make sure the person she married would be of good standing and that her future would be secure so that she would never had to live her life like this ever again and therefore love was not an option.

Harry Vance knew as soon as he set eyes on Isabel that she was the one, but persuading her he was the one for her was such a trial, even declaring his love and his offer of marriage was rejected so taking the situation in hand decided to do something about it!

Harry and Isobel are meant to be together, he fought hard to win her, enjoy this mad, fast, romantic, full of humour with a great series ending.

Although this book can be read on its own! I do recommend reading all the series from the beginning to get to know all the characters of the society of sponsoring ladies, they will leave you in stitches with their antics!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A great series that I'm sad to have read the last book of. This book was a fabulous addition with another entertaining story and such well-written characters. All the girls have been quirky and fun in their own ways and the sponsoring ladies have been a hoot. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series that can each be read alone. This book was a fabulous addition. It was nice that Mr. Vance would finally find "the one". Of course, a tradesman grandson could never be good enough for the girl sponsored by the Duchess of Stanbury. Isabel tried finding a husband with her sensible mind, not her loving heart. It was fortunate for Isabel, Harry Vance is very determined. This story is delightfully entertaining and such well-written characters. I was thrilled with such thorough epilogue, but sad that the series is at an end. I look forward to reading more books by Kate Archer.

Isabel, an impoverished lady, is picked by a duchess to be the girl she will sponsor because Isabel has royal bloodlines. Isabel just wants a match that will give her security for the rest of her life, even if her husband dies with no heirs from her. Harry is struck immediately by Isabel but is deemed as below her status by the duchess. Harry must get Isabel to overcome her fears of having nothing to take a chance on him. This book is the last in a series which I enjoyed very much. I received an ARC from NetGalley and Dragonblade Publishing for my honest review.

A lovely addition to A Series of Worthy Young Ladies series. This is the sixth installment, and each story has been delightful and entertaining and this one was no different. The story was engaging and entertaining and Ms. Archer did a nice job with vivid descriptions which really made the story and characters come to life. Another wonderful addition to the series!
