Last series of Jane Feather’s Duncan’s Sisters Trilogy! I’m all excited because these sisters are smart, funny, and wicked.Chastity Duncan, the youngest of all the Duncan’s, is a fun, carefree young woman with a sweet tooth. I’ve been waiting impatiently to read this novel and find out who or what kind of man would suit her. She’s the fun of the Duncan’s, in both the other novels, she had admirers, men flocked around her like bees to a flower. Hahaha… She enjoyed their company but she treated them as not more than friends.
The Wedding Game is mostly dedicated to Chastity. After the marriage of her sisters, Constance and Prudence, she was left at home by herself (with her father). She continued the publication of The Mayfair Lady and its matchmaking service. One day, a letter arrived from Douglas Farrell, a new doctor in town. He wanted help from their matchmaking service. Chastity agreed to meet him and after stating his requirement for wife, Chastity was taken aback. He was looking for a rich wife! Remembering that this is a paying customer, she reluctantly agreed to help him.
A match was found in a short time, a rich young English lady who was either born in France or raised in France. To be honest, I wasn’t really interested in her character. She is so annoying and spoilt rotten. Chastity introduced her to Douglas and he seemed to enjoy her company for a short period of time. However, Douglas can’t hide his interest in Chastity, a fun and loving young lady who treated everyone equally. While Chastity tried to ignore this attraction, she couldn’t resist this young handsome doctor. Something intrigued her and she later found out that the reason behind his need of rich wife is to build a clinic in a slum area of London. It is such a noble thing to do with a high price to pay. He was estranged from his family because of this. They expected him to be a high profile doctor, instead of hanging around poor people.
When Chastity found his hidden clinic in the slum of London, he was horrified. He was worried about the prejudice of high class society. He was even more scared of the fact that Chastity might be disgusted by this act of kindness to the poor people, like his family. However, she wasn’t at all disgusted and all the misunderstanding between “The Mayfair Lady” and Douglas was cleared up.
I think this novel is the funniest of all the 3 books, I’m not going to spoil it here, but the relationship between Douglas, the rich lady and Chastity is so funny and refreshing to read.
