I seem to be reading this series backwards... enjoyable, but nothing spectacular in my opinion. the characters don't seem to have much depth, and there's a lot of 'extra' that seems superfluous to the story. it is well written and fairly fun to read though. normally I don't care to read the early 1900 stories so I'm not quite sure how I got this series.

Prudence takes center stage in the second bok of the Duncan Sisters Novels. Thier controversial newspaper is being sued, and it is upto Prudence to save it. She faces many challenges: first, she must defend thier case while staying anonymous. Second, she must proove that her father has been tricked by the very same person who is suing them,and third she must find a way to keep her relationship with thier barister as professional as possible...a very easy thing to do considering he is arrogant and high-handed, but also a very hard thing to do considering he is handsome and challenges Prue in a way she had never been before. It is not necessary to read the first book, but would be beneficial to learn more about the other characters such as Constance and Max. ( )

"The Bride Hunt is a romance in the vaguest sense. It is the romance of a deep love and affection between three society sisters. The alleged romance between the hero and heroine is considerably less interesting and less believable."

This is the second book in the Victorian era series about three sisters who must be ingenius to support themselves and their father. They publish a gossipy news letter and form a lonely hearts type operation. The middle sister Prudence is the center of this story. She is the most practical unemotional rational and pragmatic of the three. They sisters have offended a powerful earl who sues them. Prudence determines to hire the very best barrister, Sir Gideon Malvern to represent them. The story moves along at a good pace, however, they seem to falll in bed a little too quickly to be plausible given the character traits attributed to Prudence. all in all a good read.

Fun if a bit light victorian romance about some very free spirited sisters who have taken over the editorship of a newspaper from their mother. When it's sued for libel they have to find a barrister willing to take them on and help them deal with it without exposing them to the public, particularly when one of the witnesses for the prosecution is their father. As part of the deal they offer to find a bride for the barrister, but is he interesting in the people they have to offer. ( )
