"interesting relationship drama"

In England, the four Hasty sisters are stunned by the suicide death of their larger than life father, affectionately known as the Zed. Perhaps as shocking is how much he lived above his income, which included keeping the foursome in opulence. Now the siblings face monstrous debts that require they sell their beloved home, Melismate.

In a desperate effort to avoid losing their family home, the oldest sister Rufa insists that she and beautiful sister, Nancy the tease, must find wealthy spouses; thus she sets up the rules of THE MARRYING GAME. Lydia is exempt because she still loves her ex-husband and is raising a young child. Also off the hook is the youngest Selena who still attends school. Although the Hasty women seek affluence in London, the three oldest soon will need to decide between love and money.

This relationship drama is fun to read due to the four sisters and several males who enter the spheres of their lives. The story line is character driven so fans that prefer action and suspense need to journey elsewhere. However readers, who value highly in depth looks at people struggling to save a way of life will want to join the keenly written THE MARRYING GAME.

The aristocratic Hasty sisters are astonishingly beautiful, irresistibly sexy and startlingly intelligent. They are also, unfortunately, extremely poor. On the death of their charming, autocratic father, they discover that their sole inheritance is their ravishing good looks. Even worse, Melismate, home of their ancestors for nearly a thousand years, is to be sold. Rufa, the eldest and most beautiful is also the most fiercely proud of her heritage. Determined to save Melismate no matter what, she invents "The Marrying Game." The Hasty girls must banish all thoughts of love and marry for money. Ignoring her mother's warnings, Rufa sells her battered old Volvo to finance their entry into high society and, together with her voluptuous sister Nancy, sets off for London to seek a fortune or two.
