But he is enormously well suited to the job. He doesn't question whether he likes being the vicar he is the vicar.

He didn't grow up with the assets that the other Everseas had, and he is grateful for the living given to him by the Eversea family. Adam isn't dominant hulksmash or rakishly charming. When Evie asks Adam's help in making friends, he realizes that to create acceptance for her will be a challenge in the town, but despite the fact that he's drawn to her and would prefer to avoid her, he agrees to help, even though he's pretty sure it won't work.Īdam is one of the best, most emotionally layered, empathetic and truly alluring beta heroes I've read in a long time. His chuch is packed on Sundays, mostly with women interpreting double meanings in his sermons and hoping he's secretly speaking to them. He's appeared in a few of the other books, and most notable for his exceptional good looks. She comes to Pennyroyal Green because she now owns a small estate there, and wants to start the next – very new and different – part of her life there.Īdam is the vicar of Pennyroyal Green, and a cousin to the Everseas, one of the two families of note in Pennyroyal Green. Evie is assumed to be cold, calculating, and ambitious, but she's really lonely, though unapologetic for her notorious past. As we said in the book club chat for What I Did for a Duke, Pennyroyal Green would make a fantastic television series.Įvie is the notorious countess: a former actress and courtesan, she married an Earl who won her in a card game, and is now a widow after his sudden death. It's all the best things of historical romance with witty dialogue and interesting characters, with the charm of small town settings that are so popular in contemporary romance. I wish the ending had been stronger, but this is still one of my favorite historical series. It isn't action packed with swashbuckling mayhem, but the tension and emotional power builds so slowly that I didn't want to stop reading. I stayed up way too late reading this book.
