About this ebook

She’s traveling to London to accept a husband she doesn’t want. He’s traveling there to marry a woman he doesn’t love. Then they meet each other.

With her two elder sisters happily settled, Honoria Staunton is tired of waiting for her own life to begin. She leaves Longstone village for London, determined to reconcile with her formidable grandfather and accept the husband he’s chosen for her—until the handsome stranger across from her on the train turns out to be exactly the kind of man she’s always dreamed of marrying.

Philip, Marquess of Hardingstone, is bound for London to fulfill a promise made by his late parents: marry the guardian’s daughter who has always felt more like a sister than a future wife. It’s the life everyone expects him to accept—until meeting Honoria makes it feel less like duty and more like a cage.

When Honoria reveals her grandfather’s plans, the two strangers strike an outrageous bargain: they’ll marry each other. It’s brilliant. It’s practical. And it gives them both a way to escape the lives their families chose for them.

But as old promises and family expectations close in, Honoria and Philip must decide whether the engagement they invented to escape their fate is the one thing neither can bear to lose.

Their engagement was supposed to solve everything.

Falling in love was never part of the plan.

A meeting on a train. Did you know that meeting on a train could change your life? Well, that is what happens to Honoria and Philip in this delightful tale by Allyson Jeleyne. I was hooked from page one the characters were such fun. Honoria thinks the only person to want her is her Grandfather Dawsen. Her feeling is based on the fact her first love did not share the same feeling. So off she goes to London in the hope he would help her find a husband. Philip was also on his way to London forced to return because of an impending engagement. I found this piece such a pleasure to read it was enjoyable if you pick this one up I am sure you will love it too. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

An Inconvenient Engagement is the third book in the Staunton Sisters series and is an enjoyable historical romance. I loved this book. Honoria and Philip meet on a train and decide to have a fake engagement to avoid becoming engaged to others before they are ready. This story is well crafted and flows nicely from start to finish. It is a sweet romance and a wonderful escape from everyday things. I read and reviewed this book with no obligation.
