The secret is out! The final installment of Sabrina Jeffries series “The School for Heiresses” has come and I read it in two days. In “Wed Him before You Bed Him”, headmistress Charlotte Harris will finally find love. Widowed, and a survivor of financial ruin, she followed her dream not to teach but to run an entire school. With no funds, she managed with help from a mysterious benefactor. Previous books had us privy to letters exchanged between the two. Going by the penname of Cousin Michael, Ms. Jeffries reveals his true identity. He is not who you think! The man falls in love with Charlotte even when obstacles litter the path toward marriage. Revenge, suicide, fear, parental abuse, kidnapping, and sensuous interludes mix together to give the reader a merry romp through historical England. Ms. Jeffries, known for her humor, threads lighter moments through the chapters. Her heroine is a strong woman of good character, yet gentle and loving. Our hero comes through when tragedy strikes to save the day…and Charlotte. I love happy endings. Nancy

I enjoy historical fiction and would love to try this series. My focus has been sci-fi (including “The Doomsday Book” and “To Say Nothing of the Dog”), but I am ready to try historical romance based on Nancy Lee Badger’s review!

Seems interesting, though I can’t help but hope that the title is somehow misleading

I have not yet read one of Sabrina’s books but your review has intrigued me to do so.
