Publisher's Summary:
'Twas a most odd and unsuitable friendship... and very precious indeed!
As the youngest of four unmarried vicar's daughters, Frederica feared her destiny was to die of tedium in the sleepy village of Barton Sub Edge. Her looks deemed "unfortunate", her willful notions damned as "difficult", she never dreamt the arrival of a rake would challenge her fate in the most surprising way.
For Frederica and Lord Granton, the worldly gentleman from the city, had something in common: boredom. And thus a secret friendship was formed. Frederica lived vicariously through his tales of adventure while he found a delightful respite from the simpering females thrown his way.
But when had their summer idyll turned to love? When had a country miss become a breathtaking lady? Worse, what the devil was a certified rogue who was much too old for her going to do about it?
Members Reviews:
They were courting and did not even know it, so sweet:-)
This has to be one of the sweetest love stories I have ever read. Heroine has always been over looked by her family that she believes nobody would be interested in her that way. Then you have the hero who just cant help himself and keeps seeking out the heroine from the beginning. He was older and jaded, so the whole love thing literally slaps him in the face before he realizes what has been happening. However, once he realizes he moves fast. The "courting" scenes were so sweet. My most favorite scene was him feeling desperate and going to heroin's home to beg her to see him again, incognito, after he tried to stop their meetings. I recommend it. PG rating. No cheating. Hero is heroines first love and defends her so sweetly:)
Fun Cinderella Story Kind Of =)
What an entertaining Regency story! The story's Cinderella qualityoffered satisfaction at the end when the haughty, mean villainess and her family received there comeuppance.
The unlikely heroine wins the day and the Lord
Like many Chesney heroines Fredrica is youngest and least likely to attract male attention in her vicarage family. With nothing else to occupy her time she sews for the poor and reads the wealth of books left by the previous vicar. Her lack of ego and her great conversational skills win her an unlikely friend and future.

HIstorical fiction at its best
I like this type of light reading. There is lots of detail of the era and good characters to care about. It's like eating chocolate and not getting enough until you read another of Beaton's books.
