"Treasured Vows"

"Treasured Vows" is hilarious and enjoyable reading. The reader cannot help but to chuckle at Phadra. Her character is different than any historic regency heroine that I have read. She is witty and confident with unrestrained feelings about what she is thinking. She read a book by Mary Wollstonecraft and was influenced by that author's ideas on women's independence. When her mother died, The Bank of England became Phadra Abbot's official guardian until she reached age 25. Phadra had been at Miss Agatha's boarding school for sixteen years by the day after her mother died. She was confined at the boarding school without friends and family. Phadra had not seen her father for nine-years. She decided to take matters into her own hands and went to London. Phadra soon discovered that her "secured" inheritance had been stolen, and that she was penniless. Grant Morgan works for The Bank of England. Grant decided that the best solution to Phadra's problem is to marry her to a wealthy suitor in order to pay off her debts. In 1810, it was rare to find a stubborn, independent, and intelligent woman such as Phadra. Her suitors were intimated by her attempt for equality in society and with intelligence. I liked how the author represented Phadra as a lovely and likeable character with a warm heart. Grant is different from most other heroes. He is kind-hearted, reserved. Once he discovered that The Bank of England was responsible for Phadra, he took the necessary steps to provide for her future. Getting married, however, was one step that Phadra was adamant about not taking. This is a well-written book with outstanding main characters. The author did a great job of describing the struggle for women's rights and how far we have come since 1810. I highly recommend Treasured Vows by Cathy Maxwell.

Love Cathy Maxwell

At first I could not get into Phadra so I read "All Things Beautiful" first but when I came back to "Treasured Vows" it was great. I love Miss Maxwell's sex scenes, character development and the flow between series books, but I LOVE EPILOGS. After you have gotten so wrapped up in a book and the characters, without an epilog, the story really is not finished.

*GREAT BOOK*

I love all of Cathy Maxwell's books! I bought this because my niece's name is Phaedra (different spelling). But it was as good as all her others! Loved it!

Thought Provoking. -- ** Grade: B+ ** -- A Big 4 Stars!!

For me Cathy Maxwell is new and if TREASURED VOWS is a sample of her work, I'm wondering - `what took me so long to find her?' This is a fun, easy read and at times I found myself laughing out loud. Yet, in the words, there is a somber message for today's women - `all that we women take for granted was once NOT so available.' Phadra Abbott is an eccentric young woman living each day her way. A young woman disgusted with society's views on the treatment of the female sex. Phadra Abbot has a big and caring heart; the Phadra Abbots of the word take up the plight of the downtrodden. Grant Morgan is Phadra Abbot's reluctant white knight. Thoughtful and handsome, he borders just outside the titled ranks of the upper class. Grant Morgan wants nothing, but to live each day quietly and respectfully. However, he is a victim caught under Phadra Abbot's charismatic spell. Phadra must accept Grant Morgan's assistance. He works for the Bank of England and the Bank of England is Miss Abbot's legal guardian. A guardian realizing that the only way to clear off its debt-ridden ward is to marry her off. Ms. Maxwell has indeed written a very agreeable story - a simple love story. Phadra Abbot is a delightful heroine -- intelligent, brave, yet vulnerable. Grant Morgan is a reserved, take-charge kind of man, yet is filled with hidden kindness. Gloriously, this author DOES NOT rely on tricks to tell her story; instead she relies on writing talent. TREASURED VOWS may be fluff, but it is fun, written with a reflective message for today's women. Grade: B+ Grace Atkinson, Ontario - Canada.

And I forgot how to breathe..

This book keeps you entertained to the end. All story... and the heroine, Phadra, is a delight, NEVER boring... and the hero, Grant is what makes us pick up these romances, strong, handsome and hunky... this one a bit more fun, he is a banker and bit stiff..was fun watching Phadra unwind him. The book is fast and full of fun. My kind of book, the kind you cant put down. First book I have read by Cathy Maxwell, and tomorrow, I will look for her others. Their loss of breath, got a bit old after reading that line many times during the book... but it was still a very enchanting book. I salute you Ms Maxwell!!! Very fine read indeed.
