 Absolutely Delightful! November 3, 2007
From their first meeting, a vivacious and beautiful vicar's daughter brings the 'sunshine' back into the staid Earl's life. Known for his meticulous habits (specially his rigid schedule), the Earl can't believe the chits lack of restraint nor deny the effect it has upon him. He is constantly rescuing her, for she is constantly getting into trouble. Not to mention all the times she seems to accidentally spilling/dropping things onto him. Its ludicrous! But yet there is a sparkle about her that clings and calls to him. And a deep love of her boisterous family that he envies. He must marry her off before she causes him anymore trouble. Now just how is he going to let her go?
A wonderful book worth hunting down. I loved to read about the rather stiff hero become unraveled and discomposed. He is known as an extremely punctual man whose lives his life by his timepiece. Then he meets an extraordinary woman who turns his whole world topsy turvy. Watching him struggle to maintain some semblance of control is quite humorous. I especially loved the 'champagne' fight the H/H had -getting drenched has never been so fun! Lots of really cute secondary characters too. I loved the heroine's entire family down to her little toddler sister that would snuggle into the Earl's lap and call him MY lord -too cute. There is a little bit with a villain at the end that really was unnecessary and frankly boring. But the rest of the book was VERY entertaining. Plenty of good love scenes too.
A really nice bit of romantic fluff.

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!

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.

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.

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.
