Summary
Following the demise of the old rector, newly reformed Thomas Allen receives a position as vicar near Allen Abbey, his boyhood home. But memories of Thomas’ wild youth cause both the gentry and the country folk to doubt his sanctity and sincerity. Only Mary Bates, the daughter of the Abbey’s steward, seems willing to believe that the leopard has truly changed his spots.
When the appearance of a mysterious child threatens to completely blacken Thomas’ chequered reputation, he must decide whether doing the honourable thing is worth losing both his living and his chance at love....
This clean and wholesome Regency romance is third in the Allen Abbey Romance series, and although it could be listened to alone, it is best enjoyed in sequence.

Good Sequel
I was given a free copy of this title to review.
I don’t know if this is the end of the series, the two sisters and 2 brothers of the Allen Abbey are all now accounted for and for Thomas, he has come full circle from the villain to the vicar. The Author’s note at the conclusion seems to indicate that this is it.
Once again, this is an interesting narrative full of great characters, however it is more sedate than the previous two (which, given how we were initially introduced to Thomas in book one, is ironic).
I do like this author’s style of Regency writing and will definitely look for more titles by her. I’m a Georgette Heyer fan and would definitely recommend this series to other Heyerites. I can’t say better than that!
The narrator, Maria Johnson, has a remarkable range (male and female) and did this series justice.

Delightful.
A book written by one of my favourite authors and narrated by one of my favourite narrators - can it get any better?
This is a delightful romance with a great story, wonderful characters, and flawless narration by Maria Johnson.
A review copy of this book was sent to me by the narrator. All of the above opinions are my own.
