Review # 1 was written on 2021-06-01 00:00:00 Lee Vy Some reviewers have disliked this book on the grounds that the hero starts with 3 mistresses, which they consider unconscionable. While I agree that having any mistresses at all not something to be admired, the way in which this situation arises seems forgivable to me, especially in light of the values of that time. Perhaps I am biased because I am male. At any rate, I found almost all of the characters admirable in some way, and the story well drawn, humorous, and thoroughly enjoyable.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-09-08 00:00:00 Ray JONES Despite being a fan of Carola Dunn's writing style, I couldn't finish this book. No matter how it's dressed up, for any man to have THREE mistresses is reprehensible. ***SPOILER ALERT*** The heroine would have to be a saint and a fool to be able to forgive the hero for his past, let alone having to deal with his mistresses and their problems at the vicarage. because he was too frightened they would land on his doorstep and upset his mother. I'm afraid my 21st century sensibilities could not and would not forgive this plot and the tropes used.
