![]() ![]() Sophy is the bastard daughter of Lord Fairchild. I recommend it if you enjoy the more traditional types of Regencies (as opposed to the spicy ones). At the same time, it's well-written and thoughtful, with interesting characters who often act in surprising ways. The story is a little slow at first and takes a while to get going, and even then I'd call it "deliberately paced" rather than a fast-paced, exciting read. Tom and Sophy meet when she gets caught in a storm and injured, and takes refuge in Tom’s and his mother’s home. Lady Fairchild feels about this the way you'd expect a betrayed wife to feel, but over the years she and Sophy gradually grow closer. ![]() When Sophy's mother dies, Lord and Lady Fairchild take her in. The story starts with Sophy's childhood, as the daughter of a governess who had an affair with the master of the house, Lord Fairchild (who, to be fair, really did love her). (Their last name of Bagshot doesn't help matters.) Jaima Fixsen does some unusual things here with the normal Regency romance tropes: the heroine, Sophy, is an illegitimate child and the hero, Tom, is the gruff son of a wealthy merchant and his socially clueless wife, who are viewed by the gentry as social upstarts. ![]() ![]() I picked this up as a Kindle freebie ages ago and finally got around to reading it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I’d never been a long trip on the sea before.
