He was such an interesting character, but we didn't really get to know much of him. Having said that, I do think that the story could have benefited by expanding a few other points in the story, especially when it came to Sophie's father. One that might not have been as light and funny. Now I realize that expanding on the beginning would have made for a different story. The story unfolded quite quickly in the beginning, which initially kind of disappointed me. She knows her place in the family and is quite content to embrace it so when things go better than expected she is adorably gracious. It was sweet, humorous and just what I needed in between more serious books. Spphy eventually makes it to London where her head and her heart struggle to do what they believe to be best.How I loved this story. She finds her way to her neighbor's house where she is assumed to be a legitimate daughter to the lord and lady Fairchild. While her family is in London, Sophy takes her father's horse for a ride and ends up injured and alone during poor weather. Her step mother gradually loves her and decides to find Sophy a husband. When her mother dies Sophy is sent to live with her father's family. Sophy was born to a lord and his children's governess. Review 2: A very sweet story about an illegitimate girl and her way to finding love. The first installment in the series is very highly recommended.
I was very sad to see that Fixsen doesn't have any other books out yet, but I'll be waiting with baited breath for the sequel to appear next month.
more cking you in that you care about even the ten-year-old version of our hero and heroine, along with the flawed secondary characters that make the protagonists' lives so difficult.All in all, Fairchild is my favorite book of the month so far. Instead, I'd liken Fairchild to Wuthering Heights, with its intense backstory that begins in both protagonists' childhood. Some reviewers have compared the novel to the works of Jane Austen, but I actually find Jane Austen's books not much better than a run-of-the-mill regency romance. But run-of-the-mill regency romances tend to throw the same plot twists at characters over and over, which gets similarly wearing.Fairchild is different. Don't get me wrong, I *like* the way regency romances veer toward the sweet, requiring the author to actually build a realistic love story based on character traits rather than filling half the pages with sex. Review 1: Although I read regency romance from time to time, I generally find the genre a bit insipid.
