This second in the Vicarage series did not disappoint. In fact, it has strengthened my feeling that, taken as a whole, the Vicarage series would make an entrancing film. It's lovely, light, romantic, sweet, yet it isn't sickeningly sugary. The characters "read" real and it's so easy to picture them in my mind's eye. (I even began to choose various English actors to populate several of the roles.)I found the chemistry between Carrie and Rhett to be just as powerful in Book 2 as that between Lucy and John in Book 1 (and Jenna's "redemption"). I fell in love with Carrie's grandparents, and that little Robert in her classroom ... well, let's just say there was a tear or two over that scene!Thanks, Ms. Barbour, for sharing your creations with the world. You are a master at word-crafting (or perhaps I should say, mistress). I have purchased the next two books and am eager to hunker down this evening to absorb and savor more of the Vicarage series.
