My Review:

Manor for Sale, Baron Included is my first book by Esther Hatch.

Sally and Lord Farnsworth are not speaking the same language. Sally has no plans to marry, especially someone who will need to produce male heirs.

Lord Farnsworth has to sell his mother's manor even though it's the last thing he wants to do. Once he meets Sally, he decides the plan is quite simple. This man is clueless. He made his plan without consulting anyone, then refused to budge from it.

Anyway, this is a sweet and clean Regency novel. I enjoyed the banter and loved Sally's sister, Victoria. She is a sweet and determined young lady. I appreciated that while she was in a wheelchair, she was not treated as an invalid (at least by Sally).

★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads): 

She has everything Lord Farnsworth wants, including his manor.

Lord Farnsworth would rather rot in debtor’s prison than sell the one place that feels like home to him—his mother’s manor. That is, until he meets the woman who wants to buy it. Sally Duncan is beautiful, intelligent, and as rich as a baron—a rich baron, not a cash-strapped one like Lord Farnsworth. She’s the solution to every one of his financial problems and is bewitching to boot. All he needs to do is sell her his beloved manor and then charm her to the altar, and the manor will be his again. Simple, right?

But nothing is simple when Sally starts tearing apart his ancestral home and renovating it in a way no one would consider tasteful. She is wreaking havoc on everything, but he cannot give up on owning his mother’s estate again, nor can he imagine anyone but Sally as his wife.

And so he sticks with his plan.

What a horrible mistake.
