This is this first book in the Seven Unsuitable Sisters series. It is a delightful and fun love story. The characters were absolutely delightful, strong-willed, and unique, to say the least. It kept me very entertained with doubt, mystery, a murder to solve, intrigue, and all the humor and wit. I can't wait until the next story. I highly recommend reading!

4 1/2* STARS*
This family of eight will keep you laughing. Seven opinionated Broadmere sisters is enough to drive any brother crazy. All he wants is all seven married to get his hands on the estate coffers. But the stipulation in their parents will is for the girls to marry only for love. Lady Blessing Broadmere is a most unusual lady. Challenged at every turn, Lord Thorne Knightwood is fascinated by the lady. He's not interested in marriage, at least he doesn't think so. Essie won't be easy to win, especially with his less than sterling reputation, but Thorne is determined to win the lady even at the threat of his own life.
Recommend reading this very entertaining first book in a new series. I don't think you'll be bored. Mild descriptive sex.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book from NetGalley.

The opening to this book made me laugh and feel sympathy for Chance the new Duke of Broadmere who has to marry all six of his sisters before getting his inheritance. One can’t feel much sympathy for him because all he did was party and not take on any serious responsibilities until both parents were deceased. But I will admit to some glee over how he will be forced to be responsible.

I loved the variety of personalities in the six sisters. All complex, different, and very before their time in their thinking. Their parents would be the type of parents I would have wished for in that era. The portrayal of their closeness reminds me of my childhood and my five siblings. While the author's portrayal of the siblings' closeness and differences is handled in a believable manner there are times when I thought it was a little too perfect between the six sisters. But I do feel sorry for Chance and his mission to wed six sisters against their will. If he survives this then I am sure he can survive anything.

Lord Thorne Knightwood wants Lady Blessing but his indiscretions are a problem for her. She wants true love and trust is a big part of that. For someone who only likes married woman I found it amusing and sad that his past is keeping him from his happily ever after. The reader will have a deep understanding and compassion of both of their positions and insecurities about each other.

Throughout the book I found it lighthearted and fun with areas where I laughed out loud at the sisters' antics. I recommend this book for anyone who wants a light hearted and delightful read with a sprinkle of humor to make you laugh.

An engaging and well written series starter that I really enjoyed 🙂

*he falls first and hard
*close family relationships (FMC with her siblings, and MMC with his mother)
*he earns her love

This was my first time reading the author; and I’ll definitely be reading more of this series and her other work.

Recommended.

What an awesome beginning to a new series, Seven Unsuitable Sisters. Blessing's Baron will keep your attention as it takes you on a rollercoaster ride that weaves a story from beginning to end with threads of suspense, danger, and tension-building twists and turns.

I received a ARC copy from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion

This was a great start to the Seven Unsuitable Sisters series, it had that element that I was hoping for. The historical element worked with the overall plot of the book. The characters were written well and worked well in this story. I’m excited to read more in this series and can’t wait for more from Maeve Greyson.

Thorne is a rake yet he vows not to be one after marriage like his forefathers. Because he can't guarantee this, he is determined not to marry until he meets Blessing. Blessing is required to marry for love but has no interest in doing so. As the two interact, the blend of a pragmatic girl and a persistent man lead to an entertaining story filled with joyous moments. There is also intrigue and romance in this quickly moving story of two souls who are meant to be together. A beautifully written story and one not to to miss.

We have a new historical romance series starting with this one. A family of siblings who recently lost their father. They must adhere to the terms of the Last Will to inherit fully. Luckily they are a loving and protective bunch. Even if they are unusually well educated and independent. I do feel a bit sorry for the new Duke as he tries to handle his sisters.
Our heroine studies astrology from her own observatory.
Our hero is a Rake whose past is about to come back and bite him, hard.
A lovely, humour filled story with lots of great characters. There is also some danger and emotional turmoil.
I'm really looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
Great fun.

Dragonblade is one of my favorite publishers and they have no shortage of historical romances for me to read. I chose this from the catalog because I was drawn in the cover, title, and series name: Seven Unsuitable Sisters. All the daughters had cool names like Blessing, Serendipity, and my favorite: Fortuity. These women all had different personalities and varied interests. I loved how unique they were and their strong familial connection. Blessing was fond of astronomy and even had her own tower to view the stars. We love a woman whose hobbies extend past the traditional. As much as I liked her big family, they were incredibly meddlesome and tainted some of my enjoyment of the novel.

Blessing and Thorne were my favorite parts of the book. They had me giggling and kicking my feet over how cute they were written. They had great chemistry and Thorne genuinely wanted to know her better. He was very sweet and courted her in the most gentlemanly manner. I wish they had more pages dedicated to just them, but their families kept getting in the way. I was getting nervous near the 90% mark if they would ever consummate their marriage. It's a pathetic qualm, but I was concerned. You can't market it as a romance with only some kissing. Nah, I'm just being greedy.

Blessing's Baron was a nice introduction to the series, even if I wasn't feeling the one big happy family at times. I'm definitely looking forward to Fortuity’s book with baited breath. I'm not sure I'll make it through all Seven Unsuitable Sisters, but I'll definitely make my best effort. Blessing's Baron was tender as a cloud and I hope I can find my own blessings headed my way.

Blessing’s Baron by Maeve Grayson is an extremely entertaining book about a woman who has no interest in marrying. She is on of seven sisters, the younger siblings of the new duke. Her father’s will plainly stated that all six of the “flock” needed to marry for love before he could come into his entire inheritance. There was no mention of his approval, only that they marry for love. Blessing is the second daughter and has no intention of marrying, probably ever, and she is not willing to put up with his dictatorial ways. She is willing to go to the opening ball of the season with her sisters, just to keep him from nagging. There she dances one dance, with Lord Thorne Knightwood, a renowned rake. She likes him but doesn’t care for his reputation. He falls immediately in love. It turns out the reason he doesn’t want to marry is that his father, and his grandfather before that, were notorious rakes, even after they married, not hesitating to parade their paramours in front of their wives, while emotionally abusing them in public and at home. If it was genetic, he wanted no part of it.

Thorne was a very nice man, and very persistent. He sent Blessing (Essie) and flowers and gifts. She finally allowed him to sit with her at a musicale. Essie was a studious person who had an interest in the stars. Her father had installed an observatory for her in their home. She was stubborn, but not unreasonable. Watching the two interact was beyond amusing. The back and forth in notes was hilarious. Watching him when he decided he loved her was even better. She was going to protect herself from being hurt, even from him. He had a past, no doubt about it, and he would have to face it. Would she wait for him? Remains to be seen. What an entertaining book! Thanks Maeve Greyson.

Ii was invited to read Blessing’s Baron by Dragonblade. All thoughts and opinions are mine. #Netgalley #Dragonblade #MaeveGreyson #BlessingsBaron

I enjoyed every minute of this novel and found it a good mix of romance, wit, and suspense. Thorne Knightwood has observed the pattern set by his grandfather and father as selfish, cruel husbands and assumes he is made from the same stock. His mother and best friend disagree with him, but he nevertheless vows never to marry until he meets the feisty and witty Lady Blessing. Without fail, everyone warns Blessing of Thorne's reputation and she takes heed of their advice, giving Thorne short shift when he tries to approach her. I could not help but laugh out loud at the letters Thorne wrote Blessing as he is unbelievably flowery, whereas Blessing is pragmatic and sees right through his verbiage. Without intentionally playing hard to get, Blessing nevertheless keeps Thorne on a string, forcing him to rethink his future and take the necessary steps to prevent a recurrence of his past behavior. Unfortunately, his past won't leave him alone, bringing danger to both his and Blessing's doorstep. It is only when Blessing recognizes what she is about to lose that she finally gives up her stance on marriage and the novel comes to a sweet conclusion with a promise of more to come. I received a copy of this book as a gift through Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley and this is my honest and voluntary review.

A great start to a new series, with seven sisters and one brother to find their other half. Rake Thorne Knightwood falls heavily for the outspoken Lady Blessing but his past catches up with him, in more ways than one, to create obstacles for a HEA. Enjoyed the characters, some laugh out loud moments and story had a good flow. Looking forward to reading the next book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The eight Abarough siblings are in mourning, their mother died from consumption & now only six months later their father has passed too. At the reading of the will Chance the newest Duke of Broadmere & his So Chance is determined to marry them off as quickly as possible so he can access the entirety of the family’s coffers. Lady Blessing has no interest in marrying. Up until Papa died, she did as she pleased, pursuing her interest in astronomy. Lord Thorne Knightwood is a confirmed rake who swore off marriage long ago as a guarantee of never becoming like his abusive father. Then he comes upon the incomparable Lady Blessing, who she ignores him, tells him to go away. No woman ever tells him to go away.
The first in a new series & we start to get to know this large close family. I loved the dynamics between the siblings, they loved each other but each was an individual & had their own interests & poor Chance has about as much hope of being in charge as he would have corralling cats. I loved both Thorne & Essie, the attraction was there from their first meeting & whilst Essie fought her feelings, Thorne fell hard & fast. Events are progressing well until Thorne's past comes to haunt them & things take a decidedly turn for the worst. A well written, fun & enjoyable romance & I look forward to the rest of the series

Oh, sign me up for the bookworm sister’s sequel immediately.
A little instalovey from the male mc (why was he outside her window so much in the beginning?) and some severe melodrama from both leads, but hey, I finished it in one go. I obviously enjoyed it. Passed my dialogue check as well.
I really love a quirky sibling historical romance series, and I see potential here. 3.5 stars.

This is story about a large family that all the sisters must marry for love, or else their brother, the Duke, will not receive his inheritance.
I liked the closeness of the sisters. Essie was a strong character who knew what she wanted in life. Thorne was a bit too insta - love, for my taste. I love Thorne's mother more than him, however. And there's a lot of notable pets.
Thank you to netgalley for the ARC. Opinions are my own.

Chance is bound by his father’s will to make sure his multitude of sisters marry for love before he gets his full inheritance.
So Chance is a Duke without the fortune to back it up.
Blessing is the first of the sisters to meet Thorne, a rake and a rogue whom she has great difficulty with trust issues.
Thorne also is unsure he can be a good husband or faithful.
An entrancing love story with ups and downs and a past lover causing great trouble in their evolving relationship.
Not to mention the pressure from Chance for the marriage.
A compelling theme, fun names, and likable characters.
Looking forward to the other sisters stories.
