Dear Reader,   Long before I wrote my sexy paranormal romances, I wrote traditional Regency romances as Debbie Raleigh. I'm delighted that three of my favorites are now available once more. Here is a trilogy about love, marriage, and the best laid plans . . .   After forty years of devoted service, Vicar Humbly is eager to retire to his pleasant cottage and tend to his garden. But before he can live in peace, he must salve his conscience by traveling to the homes of three couples who marriages have troubled him. Though he is a man of the cloth, Vicar Humbly knows that desire sometimes needs a little help from unexpected places . . . and that he may have to be less the Vicar, and more Cupid's emissary . . .   A PROPER MARRIAGE When free-spirited Adele Morrow finds herself living a dull existence as wife to a noted scholar, she secretly longs to be carried off by a dashing rogue who will drive her wild with desire. And her husband secretly misses the uninhibited beauty he'd proudly tamed. It seems that every proper marriage deserves a bit of impropriety . . .   A CONVENIENT MARRIAGE Shy, awkward heiress Beatrice Chaswell is astonished when devastatingly handsome Gabriel Baxtor asks her to be his bride--until she discovers he married her for her money. That may be true, but Gabriel has discovered that his convenient wife is the woman of dreams. Now he must woo her all over again . . .   A SCANDALOUS MARRIAGE Ravishing Victoria Mallory was lucky to find the perfect, gentlemanly fiancé--until a mix-up leaves her locked in a delicious midnight embrace--with another man. Now to avoid scandal she must wed a seductive rogue--one who is equally furious to find himself shackled. But when an intruder breaches their estate they must unite to avert peril--and discover a priceless love . . .   I've fallen in love with these timeless books all over again, and believe that you will too.… (plus d'informations)

Three stories linked by one Vicar. Vicar Humbly is about to retire but before he does he decides to revisit three marriages he conducted where he's not sure if they're actually happy so he visits them all and Miss Marple style nudges the couples involved into happier places.
In A Proper Marriage; Adele Morrow is trying to make herself into a perfect wife and it's killing her spirit but her husband can't see it until Humble shines a light into the relationship.

In A Convenient Marriage: Beatrice Chaswell finds herself married to a man who she believes only married her for her money and her resentment is getting between the two of them. Humble gets involved and makes them talk to each other.. They also discover some secrets in the house.

A Scandalous Marriage - Victoria Mallory was looking for adventure but adventure found her in the form of a man she didn't expect in her bed in the inn. Marriage followed but she doesn't trust that if she gives her heart to the rake that she will find anything but heartbreak. Once again Humbly breaks down the barriers.

It's an answer to the "why didn't they talk" trope. and it definitely breaks those barriers and goes through the characters finding love in their marriages. I also loved Humbly and how he manipulates people gently.
