This one was slow. Can't say I didn't like it, but saying I like it may be a bit too strong. Wanted to finish it though in the hopes that the next one is better.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved reading about characters I knew and I felt the plot was enjoyable. I appreciated the nuances.

The second book was definitely better than the first, still a little good to be true but I knew all the characters this time, so it was a better moving plot without the details of introductions.

Enjoyed this installment of the series. I just wish I could like Cynthia more. She seemed so needy in this book, is relentless in her pursuit of poor Father Tim and gets angry about nothing - childish actually. Other than that, it's fun to see Dooley grow up and I never tire of hearing Miss Sadie's stories.

I was expecting this to be a 4 star for me - and overall, I really do enjoy these stories. I just found the on again/off again of Timothy & Cynthia tiresome - and in particular, her moodiness was so extreme it seemed like a different person at times. It all ended well, and I'll continue to read the series - but this one required a bit of stamina.

Another sweet and comforting Mitford book. I love Cynthia and I became frustrated with Timothy repeatedly, even though his heart is precious. I can't wait to see where the series goes.

I'm not sure if I can finish this [I'm almost at the half-way point]. I read the first in the series, and it was cute enough. Well, clearly I'd forgotten a lot. It's actually rather saccharine and corny, but this is ever so much worse than the first one.
It seems that Rev. Tim, a 60-year-old, life-long bachelor, Episcopalian priest has become besotted with his neighbor, the lovely Cynthia Coppersmith, who has amazing legs. But, Cynthia is working in New York, trying to finish up a book. So, we're "treated" to their love letters back and forth, love letters that sound like they might have been written by 14-year old adolescents. I literally thought I might vomit in the middle of a chapter that was just back-and-forth letters.
In the mean time, a rich widow, Edith Mallory has designs on Fr. Tim, and she is not at all shy about letting him know about her designs. Yuck!
Life's too short for this crap. I'm done!

I know some people take issue with these books but for me it’s like coming home. It’s escaping into a world that is so detailed I am there within seconds. It’s full of characters I would love to know and are fleshed out well. I come back to these books when I need a calm spot in the storm of life.
