Review: Grown-up Characters
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 07 1, 2012
Elisabeth Fairchild has just risen to the "asterisk level" in my author notebook. I have read all of her books currently available on Kindle and have pre-ordered two more. Her stories, which fall within the broad parameters of "Regency," are not ordinary fare. Her characters are grown-ups, in mind and spirit if not necessarily in age. They have had difficulties in their lives - family deaths, unexpected responsibilities, physical handicaps, combat, gossip - and have made choices that allow them to live in their changed circumstances. Of course they find love, these are romances after all, but they work for it and earn it. I truly liked her characters as people and found myself sinking into their lives and pulling for them with every turn of the page. I can't wait for more of Fairchild's books to become available in e-form.Oh, and did I mention these books are very well written? They are. My only regret is that they don't last long enough.Additional titles currently available: "The Counterfeit Coachman," "Captain Cupid" and "Miss Dornton's Hero"
