Summary - 

The Lady Who Left - [BOOK 1 of The Town's Haverston Family Series]

Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tried in some rare occasions to be proper! Yet they never worked. And she's had enough. She wants to find something else The Town can never offer her: freedom and true love. And so she will find a way out of The Town, a land that lives in the past, away from modern civilization. But there is just one problem: no one has ever gotten out of The Town. Or so they think. With enough determination, Cressida manages to go to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. And yes, to escape an impending marriage to a man equally determined to not have her as a wife.

The Lady Who Stayed - [Book 2 of The Town's Haverston Family Series]

Mary Angel Featherton has never been a part of society. She has no title attached to her name and she most definitely has none but one friend. But she is filthy rich.

After her father's sudden death he left her his entire fortune, raising questions and doubt among the entire Town. And with her only friend, Cressida, leaving the Town to go after her dreams, Mary is left behind with no one to turn to. In a society where status and wealth are given more import than character and capabilities, Mary finds herself desperate and even more alone as things get a tad difficult to deal with. Someone is after her wealth and the only solution is to find herself a husband, one who can give her his name as security. And she has to do it FAST.

The Lady Who Sinned - [Book 3 of The Town's Haverston Family Series]

Thoughts - 

Now I cheated a bit, I didn't read them in order. I started with the second, moved to the third and then jumped to the first. Needless to say, they are all very good books but I think reading the third book before the first may have impacted by impression on certain...characters. I don't want to spoil it but once you read through all three, you will know what I mean. 

It's an interesting setting, underground and removed from everyday society, but i think that, oddly enough, it works. The characters are varied, although they all do land on the 'perfect' side of character development - but it works throughout all three stories. Probably because they all have one huge fault, being either too scandalous, being lonely or being sinful.  

Still, I would suggest you all check it out becuase I was not disappointed with the series one bit. Hurrah!
