Lavinia and the Laird by Samantha Holt
Love is worth breaking rank for…
England’s clumsiest lady? Lady T debuts in awkward style. – The London Examiner, Wednesday 23rd August, 1811.
After years of dreaming of her debut, Lilith finally entered into Society. However, Society was not ready for Lady Lilith. After stepping on too many toes, spilling wine on too many bosoms, and insulting everyone who was anyone, Lilith is ready to retire from Society altogether.
Her sister-in-law Catherine has other ideas. With a grand ball coming up, Catherine and her once-famed bluestocking sisters intend to ensure Lilith has another chance to find that elusive handsome gentleman who will sweep her off her feet.
But dreams of ballrooms and gentlemen in cravats have lost their appeal for Lilith, particularly after spending time with Harry, the stable-hand, with his rough charm and hard-working ways. How could she possibly look forward to spinning around ballrooms when she could curl up against his strong chest amongst the hay bales?
Lilith is beginning to wonder if she does not want a simpler life—one away from Society and all its judgement. Unfortunately, a relationship between a stable-hand and a lady could never be that simple…could it?

Now that I've read the book, I can say I enjoyed it. It was full of humor, romance and a wee bit of drama. The only drawback was how short it was and the fact everything kind of crammed into such a small space. Some things didn't get explained and there seemed to be a lot of holes in the story because of it. Other than that, it was a decent enough story.
Haven't read it yet. BUT, I will make a correction on this synopsis since the one written above is for the last book in the series. THIS book's synopsis should be as follows:
“I’m not certain any man could ever tame those appalling Chadwick girls. Even if that one daughter does marry, it would take a brave man to suffer the rest of the family.” – Lady Worthington, Marchioness of Langbury
Miss Lavinia Chadwick--the only non-bluestocking in her family--is destined to marry well. At least according to her mother. She will definitely not marry a Scotsman. According to her mother. With the season around the corner, Mama is determined that Lavinia shall finally find her duke. Or her earl. Even a marquess would do.
But, first, Lavinia must do her duty and help entertain a famous author visiting their sleepy village. With the help of her sisters, she’s been tasked with ensuring his stay goes perfectly. Unfortunately, her sisters are more of a hindrance than a help. So is her attraction to the braw laird who has come specially to see his favorite author.
However, her sisters are certain that this rough Scot is good for her and set about ensuring their clandestine budding relationship thrives. Of course, with sisters like her, she could just as easily end up ruined and disappointing her whole family. Can Lavinia find the courage to fight for what she really wants and survive her sisters’ meddling?
