Lord Reymes, Earl of Bainscroft, has been driven by duty his entire life. Even in his dealings with his unscrupulous brother, he feels honor-bound to right the other man’s wrongs. When a young woman is compromised indirectly by his brother’s appalling actions, Reymes marries the girl to salvage her reputation. Violet Windham’s wishes have ever been disregarded. With parents who favored her siblings, she had never had someone to care for her, to listen and to encourage her to blossom. Now swept into marriage with a stranger, she must learn to forge a place for herself in his household, to befriend the people of the new community in which she finds herself, and to establish herself as Lady Reymes, Countess of Bainscroft. Will her faith in the Lord give her strength to accomplish all that is set before her? Or will her timidity cause her to retreat even further within herself, missing the great blessings God has in store for both her and her new husband?

I’m not someone who typically reaches for Regency era fiction. So, although the author is charming in correspondence, I initially put off reading this. But when a moment of fitting leisure came, I am so thankful I read this book! Afterwards I immediately, and I do mean immediately, picked up Penelope’s Hope (I accidentally starting the series out of order.).This is an absolutely winsome book, whether or not you’re typically interested in romances or period pieces. It is well-written, well-paced, and I absolutely laughed out loud—despite my sleeping husband!—because the end of chapter two was such a stage-setter! I still laugh when I think about it in this weirdly positive sort of identifying way!
It stands alone extremely well, though it does give away a few things about the characters in Penelope’s Hope if you read them out of order.
Violet’s Daybreak is a beam of light in an otherwise crowded, dark time. It’s a great, enjoyable read. It allows for reflection while you walk in the characters’ shoes, and it fosters affection for faith, love, and friendship no matter how chaotic your circumstances are. It handles topics like romance, love, sex, ignorance, awkwardness, faults, and repentance gently and with love.
Worth re-reading and lending to my mom! I look forward to Sarah Baughman writing more, and I’m kicking myself I didn’t read these sooner. I highly recommend Violet’s Daybreak.

Violet Daybreak Regency Silhouettes Book Two Volume 2 Sarah Baughman 9780692710012 Books Reviews
I loved the story but it was a bit to steamy for a Christian fiction novel. I prefer a clean romance and this seemed to be so focused on when the couple were going to have marital relations.
Insightful depiction of how one lives by faith. Reliance on forgiveness. Patience. Consideration for the other person's point of view.
This is the first book of this genre that I've read, and to be honest, I didn't expect to enjoy it. It was written by an acquaintance and I just got it to be polite. I usually read fantasy, scifi, or Age of Sail. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it!
The author successfully creates interesting characters and crafts their environment and interactions in a satisfying way; it's a book you can lose yourself in for a while, and I found myself disappointed when it ended, since I had become fond of that world. It has a pleasant Jane Austen flavor without being overly derivative. The author has a deft touch with subtle and tasteful moments of erotic attraction. I found some of the minor characters, like Rose and Mrs. Wyndham, a titch more complex and interesting than the main characters--but I hasten to add that I did not find Nathaniel and Violet boring. There were very few awkwardnesses or typos--fewer than the average mainstream paperback these days, which was a pleasure. Moreover, the writing generally flowed smoothly at the macro, not only the micro, level; I felt confident that I was in the hands of a good storyteller.
The Christian elements struck me as fairly well woven into the story and arising naturally rather than being added on gratuitously. The biggest criticism I would make is that [POSSIBLE SPOILER] the jump from Nathaniel's very plausible and touching cri de coeur to God outdoors to his asking Violet to read Scripture with him was less developed narratively than such an important transition needed to be, especially given that before the marriage his agreement to tolerate her beliefs was so unenthusiastic. I expected something either from his POV or hers about this remarkable movement on his part. As you can infer from this criticism, however, I found myself engaged by the religious elements of the story!
Without delving further into spoilery territory, let me just add that, as a female martial artist, there were other story elements that I enjoyed as well.
I'd be interested in reading more books by this author!
The bones of a good story exist in this novel but I couldn't help but feel that it could have been better than it was. I enjoyed the general gist of the story but the writing sometimes felt as if the author was trying too hard to capture a more sophisticated style and it felt forced. There were a number of times when the author used words completely incorrectly, displaying her ignorance of their meaning. For instance, she uses "loathe" (hate, despise) in place of "loath" (be reluctant) a few times. I could sit down and make a list of quite a number of instances of similar mistakes. A good editor should have fixed these errors. There is also some indication that the author, in common with many American authors of Regency novels, does not understand all the complexities of the British peerage (the eldest son of an earl would never have been a "Mr.", although the younger son is; even a Marquis does not get to choose who he will pass his title to...it's not completely impossible, but very nearly), however there is obviously a planned reveal of more information in a future book, so perhaps I am jumping the gun on this. I read a great deal of Christian historical fiction for the simple fact that I am able to trust that the content will be clean. I never enjoy the books as much when the religious aspects are constantly pummelling the reader in the face, as they are in this book. It felt like a fight to get to the story through the sermonizing. One character was vilified through the entire book and then, within the space of an hour or two, wanted to change everything about his life. Pretty hard to believe....at least let him observe, face consequences, ponder, or whatever, for a bit of time before trying to change so completely.
