The "A House for the Season" series is full of fun and silliness, as well as some minor character development...I like to refer to Marion Chesney's books as "Jane Austen-Lite", which is not meant to denigrate Jane Austen!
In book three, "The Wicked Godmother", we have Harriet Metcalf, a destitute old maid (of 25) assigned to chaperone twin daughters of a recently deceased friend. Her mission is to find them rich and highly eligible husbands during "The Season", taking place in the Regent period in England.
Harriet should be named "Mooncalf", because she really is clueless: she believes the twins love her, they don't
she believes no man would want her for a wife as she has no dowry, but they do, and she's outspoken with one of the richest men in the country, offending him repeatedly.
Add a large ditzy dog, a spinster friend, and the usual antics with the servants, and you have an entertaining although fluffy read.
Life's not all meat and potatoes: a little cotton candy is good now and then. ( )
