Summary: I've never enjoyed a love-story so much
Review: I bought this book for a trip this summer, and I've not enjoyed reading a book as much as this one in a long time. Usually when you read a love-story you cry a bit or a lot, but with this book, I laughed most of the time. It's a sweet book, and I recommend it highly. I've also read "The Squire's Daughter", also a great book by Deborah Simmons.

Summary: Why Preacher's kids have bad reputations
Review: I loooooooooooooved this book.Charlotte Trowbridge is the daugh-
ter of the local vicar,so in other words she is what is known in
modern terms as a preacher's kid,and as we all know they can be
a bit lively.Charlotte is utterly gorgeous,but is quite unaware
of her power over men,especially the hero,who has an obsession
with time.I really think that you will enjoy this book.

Summary: SUCH A FUN STORY!!!!....(4 1/2 stars)
Review: I will be the first to admit that "The Vicars Daughter" is not much more than a frothy fluffy read..but sooooooo much fun!! I loved Charlotte so much..she was a joy! Max was a riot..he was so upset all of the time it killed me! There were some weak points to this book, but overall it was so enjoyable that any missteps didnt bother me a bit. I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who wants to spend their afternoon on a refreshingly sweet little book!

Summary: A good read but some weak spots
Review: This book has been in my TBR pile for ages and I finally got round to reading it recently. I have to say that it won't go on my keeper shelf but it was a pleasant read. Briefly, this is the story of a young, tom-boyish girl who is the daughter of an impoverished country vicar. Charlotte Trowbridge is meant to be a madcap but unfortunately, the author has a struggle to keep Charlotte's behaviour realistically planted in regency soil. The hero is Maximillian, the Earl of Wycliffe - a young man so pokered up that you just want to shake him. A little too full of himself, he is somewhat stiff and unapproachable when we meet him but, of course, Charlotte and the Trowbridge progeny are designed to melt him and make him come to life. There is a villain of the piece, a kidnapping on the day of Charlotte and Max's wedding and even some rather nice sex scenes although they anticipate their vows - something I can't imagine a vicar's daughter of the times would have done with such relish! Unfortunately, herein lies my criticism. The actions that drive the plot and the behaviour of the characters is just a little too out of synch for me. This means that sometimes the story is a little too much modernity dressed in empire line dreses and I find this sort of thing irritating. However, it is a sweet enough story and I have a few other books by the author in the queue so I shall be interested to see how her opus develops.

Summary: The best I've read!
Review: This was the best book I've read in the historical romance genre. I have yet to read the book that tops this one except more Deborah Simmons. A delightful book that has you turning pages and loving every minute of it. I'd recommend it to anyone with a love for romance.
