The Scoundrel's Vow

In The Scoundrel's Vow, Sherri Browning masterfully weaves vibrant characters, a clever plot and some unexpected twists into a wholly satisfying read. Calandra Locke is a woman who knows what she wants and who isn't afraid to go after it. She has a fresh, natural appeal that stands out against the sea of prim, hand-wringing heroines who populate many of today's Regency set historical romances. Kudos to Ms. Browning for providing readers with something excitingly different. Get ready for a fun, fast-paced adventure. The Scoundrel's Vow is the best Regency historical I've read in years. I can't recommend it enough!

Sherri Browning's debut novel is a sure-fire winner. Scar is the classic tortured hero, and Calandra a woman who knows what she wants. Him. Unfortunately, as in real life, getting what one wants isn't that simple. And so begins a fast-paced, entertaining ride set in the Regency period.Ms. Browning has created a fun cast of characters (two and four-footed) and an enjoyable plot--the perfect book for a cozy evening's read on the couch while the fire roars merrily in the fireplace and one's own dog lays at one's feet. Ms. Browning's next book will be out this summer and I for one am looking forward to seeing what this promising and exciting author will bring to her fans next!

I loved Scoundrel's Vow-- couldn't put it down. The book captures first love and all its joy and pain...and joy. Scar is a tortured hero, and the way he longs for Callie but refuses to hurt her is so touching and tender. Callie is so sweet as she goes all out for true love. I was really pulling for these two to make it! And Callie's father had me in tears, the dear man. Lively writing, terrific characters. A great read.

I read this book in only two days--a record for me. Scar and Calandra were two wonderful, well-drawn characters that I hated to leave behind when the book ended. Watching Scar fall in love with Calandra while he tried to find her a suitable husband was great--especially once he realized that HE was going to have to be the husband! Great job! When's the next one? I'm waiting!

Great setting, great characters. If you like books set in England's Regency period, you'll love this one. An enchanting tale-- it has earned a place in my keeper pile, and I have a new author to add to my list of favorites.
