Regency Brides: The Vicar's Daughter/The Engagement/Remember Me
Historical Even after overcoming social stigmas, prejudices, and presumptions, three people of the early 1800s are most threatened when they nearly sabotage their romances from within. Lord Nicholas is determined to cut himself off from the world when he catches love literally falling from a tree; Katherine Montbatten's decision that vengeance is hers and not the Lord's almost costs her true love; and when Helen Nichols deceives a duke, she will need to tell the truth, for love's sake. But their stories prove that human folly is no match for God's plan.

First of all, I just want to say that I love Jane Austen, and I was so pleasantly surprised when I read in the author's note that the novels of Jane Austen inspired her writing in this book! I love time period, I love the Christian undertones, I love the clean love story, and of course I love spotting characters that resemble those from Jane Austen's beloved novels. I recognized a Darcy, a Mrs. Bennet, a Lady Catherine, and an Emma. It was such fun!
1. The Vicar's Daughter: This story is about Christina, a simple country vicar's daughter who loves animals and sees it as her Christian duty to help her neighbor find God. Her neighbor is this torn up man, who lost his father and brother and is now the guardian to his brother's son. He is bitter, angry, and he wants to spend his life brooding about his misfortunes.
2. The Engagement: Katherine has been jilted and is now the mockery of the Ton. Her cousin, Theodora and her plot to then sabotage the reputation of a relative to the person who jilted her. Only problem is that Theodora becomes more interested in the vindication than Katherine does.
3. Remember Me: On a voyage to America a Duke from England and a pastor from Scotland get washed a shore, the Duke lives but has amnesia and people think that he is the new pastor for their town. One person knows who he really is but she decides not to tell hims so she can have a better chance of winning his heart.
All three stories have wonderful, likable characters that find God and love. Each stories is about 110 pages long the stories and characters are intertwined. I absolutely loved this book, it is one of my favorite novellas and I have read over 50!

Three very sweet romances, I go into books blind so I didn’t realize they were Christian romances which I’m not the biggest fan of but that’s on me. I liked all the stories my only big issue was how quickly everything wrapped up in each of them, I’d swear I had just reached the climax of the story and then would realize I only had 4 pages left.

It was okay. It wasn't the kind of book I'd want to read again. It just didn't hold my attention for very long.

This is a three for one book. The first story is "The Victor's Daughter". Christina Wakelin, the vicar's daughter is a mischievous girl. She is trying to rescue a cat up a tree on Lord Nicholas Kenswick's estate when the Lord shows up and she falls from the tree into his arms. Will this lead to love between a nobleman and a commoner? The second story is "The Engagement". Katherine Montbatten has been humiliated when the Earl of Kenswick brakes their engagement. She is out for revenge. When the Earl's younger brother Thomas returns from sea and falls in love with her. Will Katherine go through with her plan to spite the Earl's family? Or does she love Thomas enough to return his love? The third story is "Remember Me". The Duke of Kent is traveling to America and befriends a preacher, but a storm sweeps them both overboard. The Duke is rescued but has lost his memory. He is mistaken for the preacher and he travels to Louisiana to pastor a local church. He really doesn't feel like a preacher but tries his best to do the job. He meets a girl, Helen whom seems quite familiar. She recognizes him from England, as she's been in love with him for a long time. But he is nobility and she in a commoner, so she tells him he is the preacher Hamish Campbell. He falls in love with her. What will happen when his memory comes back and he finds out she lied to him about who he is? They were all good stories.

Wish all four books in series had been included as I think I had the fourth book somewhere....once....a long time ago and now think I gave it away. I also have some issue with the re-occurring "thought drowned to death" situation and the last book having it seem like the heroines lies where a part of Divine plan? If I am wrong in that interpretation please tell me. So, loved 2 out of 3 books with the third being so-so.

Despite being sappy, mushy, and sentimental, this was a fun read! The three couples in this book seemed determined to sabotage their own romances. I enjoyed all three stories, but would only recommend them to someone who enjoys a story where there is an abundance of staring into each other's eyes:P
Rated PG for some sensuality.

The first story, The Vicar's Daughter, was by far my favorite of the three. The Engagement I didn't like much at all—in fact, I kind of had to force myself to read it. The last one, Remember Me, was pretty good as well, though.

This book was a little too cheesy for my taste. She used the phrase ""stared deeply into each other's eyes"" at least twice in each of the 3 stories. It just lacked depth. It was a quick read at least!

It was good and funny...and I figured out I'd read it before...oh well! I love revisiting old books!

three stories about women finding love in England/US in the 1800s. Not a lot of setting description.
