Who Would Like This Book:
This Regency romance is perfect for readers who love feisty heroines, unconventional pairings, and marriage-of-convenience tropes. Phoebe stands out as a refreshingly practical, curvy, and spirited heroine, while Paul is a gruff but secretly soft-hearted new-money viscount - if you like a couple who aren’t effortlessly gorgeous but absolutely sizzle together, you’ll love their chemistry and banter. The historical detail is lively without feeling stuffy, and side characters (especially the Bellamy siblings) add depth and fun. Fans of family-centric series with ongoing storylines and a good dose of spice will want to binge the entire set.
Who May Not Like This Book:
If you’re searching for super-angsty, heart-wrenching romance, this might not hit the mark - it’s sweet, sexy, but not a tearjerker. Some found the plot predictable and wanted more development in the business partnership side of the romance, or thought the pacing lagged in spots. Others weren’t won over by the leads, especially if you're longing for a hero with that swoony, unforgettable edge or a more glamorous couple.

From The Publisher:
A Wickedly Witty Age Gap Romance With Love Between the Classes!
PHOEBE book 1 in THE BELLAMY SISTERS is a sensual, sexy, and heartwarming love story about the girl next door and the powerful, wealthy stranger who changes her world forever. Minerva Spencer's characters are witty and unforgettable and her romances are perfect for fans of Elizabeth Hoyt, Lisa Kleypas, and Meredith Duran.
Meet the Bellamy sisters, five young women who will do anything to save their siblings and keep the wolf from the door.
Lady Phoebe Bellamy will do anything to save her family estate-even marry the devil himself…
The Bellamy family has only four months before they'll lose the very roof over their heads. While Phoebe's older sisters venture out into the world to earn the necessary funds, Phoebe herself-plain, levelheaded, and responsible-stays home to care for her younger siblings and parents. But then she meets Viscount Needham, a fabulously wealthy, brand new peer, and everything changes.
When Phoebe learns that her father is determined to marry one of his daughters to Needham, she knows it's time to act. She certainly can't imagine saddling any of her beloved sisters with the brutally handsome upstart. So, she does the unthinkable and proposes to Viscount Needham herself…
Paul Needham attended the best schools, belongs to all the proper clubs, and can buy and sell half the House of Lords and still have money to spare. And yet the ton still treats him with disdain. Marrying one of their own is the fastest way to legitimize his place in society. But that doesn't mean that he has to like his bride. He certainly won't ever love her. Their marriage will be nothing but a mutually beneficial business arrangement.
Except it doesn't feel like a simple transaction when Phoebe is in his arms…
They are complete opposites with nothing in common. Class differences and prejudices divide them. Is love enough to bridge their two worlds-or are they destined for heartbreak?
PHOEBE is the wickedly witty and sensually steamy first book of a five-book series. Each story in THE BELLAMY SISTERS stands alone.
