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!

I loooooooooooooved this book.Charlotte Trowbridge is the daugh-ter of the local vicar,so in other words she is what is known inmodern terms as a preacher's kid,and as we all know they can bea bit lively.Charlotte is utterly gorgeous,but is quite unawareof her power over men,especially the hero,who has an obsessionwith time.I really think that you will enjoy this book.
The best I've read!

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.
I've never enjoyed a love-story so much
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
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.
