How would children working in the mills affect you?,
By
This review is from: The Courteous Cad (Paperback)
Another good Regency book by Catherine Palmer. Here we encounter several characters from her other books but this book can definitely stand on it's own, no need to have read the others first. I like that about a series book, it's nice not feeling like you're missing some important background information when you read a new book. The Regency historical information is definitely on target. The characters are quite believable in their emotions and actions. One can see how assumptions can totally mess up a relationship and a conversation. I liked that this one didn't harp on society silliness like so many historical romances do, this one dealt with how a woman reacts to and deals with her brush with the plight of children working in the mills rather than what to wear at a ball. Don't get me wrong, there were many scenes involving fun too but they weren't the main menu. The end notes had some very good soul searching questions and contained a preview of one of her other books.

To Love a Cad?,
By Annette M. Irby - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Courteous Cad (Paperback)
What lover of inspirational romance would expect to admire a cad as a hero? Yet, I did. Catherine's hero was believable and likable, and flawed. I took to him immediately. :-)
Catherine Palmer's characters, the warmth she infused into her stories, and the well-crafted romantic element all shine in her upcoming release--The Courteous Cad. This was my first exposure to her series including Miss Pickworth, yet I didn't feel like I was thrust into a world I couldn't understand or a cast of characters I couldn't follow. The Courteous Cad is a true stand-alone in that regard. I enjoy reading a novel without feeling I need to go back and read the previous books in the series. Catherine gave me that reading pleasure with this book. I appreciated her heroine's drive to help the down-trodden mill workers. And the way the author wove history into the story made me crave another viewing of a Jane Austen film. A delightful read. Highly recommended. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

Gotta Love Those Cads!,
By James W. Harris IV "& Paulette L. Harris" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Courteous Cad (Paperback)
I loved this book. Catherine Palmer wrote well in describing poor working conditions in England in the 1800's.
Spunky Prudence Watson decides it is her job to crusade on behalf of a group of workers at a local worsted mill. She is angry at William Sherbourne who is the owner of the mill and away at sea as a Royal Naval officer. He has a reputation as a handsome charming cad. As the two people meet and begin to develop a relationship, Prudence realizes that William isn't aware of the circumstances of his mill and she intends to let him know the facts from working there undercover. Her secret doesn't last as she is discovered and has to explain herself. Early on, the cad has fallen for Prudence, but he must begin to mature and come to grips with what he really wants out of life while Prudence is attracted to him, he falls short in her eyes. She has committed herself to never marry, let alone a handsome wealthy cad. Why he treats all the ladies the same and tugs at their heart strings, she believes. It will take an old blacksmith's love and care for Prudence to straighten out both young people's thinking and get them to share truths from their past before they can move forward into the future together. Tyndale House graciously gave me this book to review and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Sincerely, Paulette L. Harris Author/Speaker
