Jeremy Laidley, and the lovely American heiress, Penny Nichols, are busy planning their wedding but it seems every time they try to relax or decide what other course to take for their marriage, they hit a snag. When they decide to pay a visit to Aunt Leonora, they are quickly told they can use their bridal tapestry at their wedding. Unfortunately, the heirloom is stolen, which prompts Penny and Jeremy to use their detective agency knowledge to find the family heirloom. While others pitch in to have their say about the planning of the wedding, as Penny and Jeremy look for the tapestry, secrets began to unfold about relatives, unbeknown to Penny and Jeremy. With things coming out about Jeremy’s life that he didn’t know, will the marriage go through without a hitch? Will the couple finally have that happy domestic lifestyle they crave? Most importantly will the thief be found and the precious tapestry be found? So many questions to be answered as Penny and Jeremy start a mind-blowing adventure.

What a most delightful and charming read. I love the twists and turns that keep the reader guessing as to the outcome of the story. I was engaged from the beginning to the end in this thrilling yarn. Penny and Jeremy are such a likeable pair with a great future ahead of them. The secondary characters, at times, remind me of a bunch of misfits that come along in many household families. C.A. Belmond pens a down to earth good book that makes the heart sing with joy. A Rather Charming Invitation keeps the reader engaged. It is without a doubt a wonderful book to grab a chair, put the feet up and just sit back and enjoy every single delightful page while taking a journey with the characters.
