Max's entrance into the home is very amusing. Trowbridge, has eight children and only one of those eight children is married and not living at home. From the moment he enters the ramshackle home of the vicar, his life is never the same. It is while he is at this estate that he decides to pay a visit to the local vicar and there he meets his doom in the form of the vicar's second eldest daughter, Charlotte. His secretary knows that Max has broken off with his mistress because he has scratched her name out of his time-table.Īs luck would have it, he has purchased an estate in the country and is visiting it, adding it into his well-ordered life. He doesn't have too much of a sense of humor, he's neat, precise, only drinks two glasses of wine and even has visits to his mistress penciled into his schedule.
He has time pieces that keep him on his schedule, he looks at them constantly. He has scheduled everything, he's orderly, everything is timed. Max has mapped his life out completely, down to the last hair on his head. In fact all three stories featured befuddled males. The Vicar's Daughter has one of my favorite type of heroes, an uptight stuffed-shirt who turns into an out of control befuddled male. I love when I can go back to a much-beloved book and find that it still brings me pleasure. Simmons' regencies.īack to The Vicar's Daughter, which I reviewed years ago and have not changed my mind. There are earlier regencies with characters that are mentioned in these three books however, I've always considered The Vicar's Daughter, Tempting Kate, and The Last Rogue the best of Ms.
I say sort of because I'm only talking about three of Ms. Let's start with the first one - sort of - The Vicar's Daughter, 1995. Two of them have been released in electronic format, but The Vicar's Daughter is still out-of-print and hard to find. If you have never read any of her books, the three I'm going to talk about are gems and you should try to find them somewhere. Even though her last few books were a disappointment for me, I have continued to keep an eye out, but nothing seems to be happening. Her website doesn't show any recent activity and I am nervous. However, her last book was published in the early part of 2013. Then something happened over at Harlequin and she disappeared for a while, then she came back.
