I enjoyed this final installment in the 'Regency Brides: Daughters of Anysley series by Carolyn Miller. It follows Verity, the youngest and arguably the most precocious of the 3 sisters. Verity often clashes with her mother because of her forthright manner and tendency to defy social convention. She lives up to her name, which the Latin for 'truth'.
Most of the story follows Verity's adventures in Scotland, where so goes to visit a school friend with whom she had previously enjoyed many adventures and misadventures. Anthony Jardine arrives back in his homeland only a few weeks before Verity after a sojourn in Australia, where he served as a curate, and meets the intriguing lass (who is staying next door) when she ventures into the grounds of his manor.
Misleading Miss Verity has a lot to offer in terms of witty repartee and the often hilarious capers of the characters, including a sporting event where a character dresses as a man, climbing out a window to attend a masquerade, and even a hint of feuding between rival Scottish clans. Which reminds me that the Scottish countryside features heavily in this story, as well as some people with accents of varying thickness.
Both Verity and Anthony were well drawn characters, but I also liked Helen, Verity's school friend and her large family. Verity's struggle to find love and acceptance provided a realistic edge to the story, making her more human and vulnerable.
Although I didn't agree with all the choices the characters made, or that they were always entirely consistent with their their personalities.
The Romance elements weren't overwhelming in this novel, which is sort of a welcome change, and the reader will be left wanting to find out how everything turns out as it hurtles towards the conclusion.
Recommended for Regency readers and lovers of historical Fiction.

The banter!!! Oh be still my Regency-romance loving heart! The instant chemistry between Anthony & Verity – and their subsequent witty conversations & delightful banter – kept me all a’swoon throughout Misleading Miss Verity.
Verity is a bit of a hoyden and it’s tempting to write her off as never serious or too spirited. However, yet again, Miller takes us deeper than just Verity’s surface personality and I believe she ended up being my favorite character yet from this author! Anthony isn’t a typical ‘hero’ as far as Regency heroes go – he’s not all brawn and bravado, for sure – yet there’s an attractive strength to him nonetheless. As I read their story & their increasing affection for one another, I couldn’t help but think of Sir Walter Scott’s profound quote, “Oh, what a tangled web we weave…when first we practice to deceive.” Certainly they both learn this truth the hard way, though the irony of the final chapter positively delighted me. (And I must say here that I didn’t appreciate the sisters’ grandmother nearly as much in book 1 as I did in this last book of the trilogy – she definitely became a favorite of mine in this novel!)
Bottom Line: I loved the Scottish setting to Misleading Miss Verity – as well as an introduction to the author’s own New South Wales. The estate/castle of Dungally, the Chisholm family (who reminded me in all the best ways of the Weasleys for a time), the delightful humor laced throughout, and the clever wordplay of that title – all of it kept me thoroughly entertained from first chapter to last. Topping it off is the tender message of our self-worth being found fully in the One who loves us better than anyone else could. The perfect ending to a positively wonderful trilogy, and I look forward to seeing these characters pop up elsewhere in Miller’s regency universe!

Weer een boek wat je in één adem uitleest! De derde dochter van Aynsley is weer een heel andere persoonlijkheid dan de oudste twee. Een grote liefhebber van de waarheid, maar ook voor het opkomen van de zwakken, en dat doet ze met liefde in het geheim, samen met haar partner in crime. Dan wordt de school gesloten en gaan ze allebei naar huis, Verity met een uitnodiging om bij haar vriendin Helena te komen logeren in Schotland.
Verity vindt het verschrikkelijk thuis, maar ze mag niet logeren bij Helena, haar mensen zijn zo beneden hun stand (een domineesgezin). Haar moeder wil haar getrouwd zien met een rijke man van goede komaf, en hoopt dat het dan klaar is met die capriolen die haar dochter steeds uithaalt.
De zaken escaleren snel als Verity met haar directheid de waarheid spreekt en zich 'schandalig' gedraagt volgens haar moeder. Daarop wordt ze verbannen naar oma in Devonshire, net zoals haar zus Caroline in boek 1. Daar ontvangt ze op een gegeven moment een brief van haar moeder dat ze een huwelijk geregeld heeft met een man waar Verity absoluut niet mee wil trouwen. Haar oma is het ermee eens en regelt dat ze alsnog bij haar vriendin in Helena in Schotland kan gaan logeren.
(ik schrijf dit even uitgebreid, want de synopsis suggereert dat haar vader Verity naar Schotland stuurt, maar haar oma regelt dat, terwijl ze haar zoon en schoondochter probeert te dwarsbomen.)
Helena blijkt naast een verlaten kasteel te wonen, geïntrigeerd gaat Verity op onderzoek uit, samen met Helena en haar broertje. En zo ontmoet ze Anthony, de eigenaar, die zichzelf voordoet als beheerder.
Anthony bereikt zijn nieuwe landgoed en is nogal in shock als hij ziet wat er allemaal moet gebeuren en hoe weinig geld het opbrengt. In de tuin ontmoet hij Verity en de twee hebben meteen een klik. Anthony heeft het niet makkelijk, er schijnt een vete te zijn tussen zijn familie en een andere familie die in de buurt woont. Dus hij wil graag als persoon gekend worden, en niet als nieuwe kasteelheer. Daarom houdt hij zijn identiteit achter voor Verity en de andere dorpsbewoners.
Verity heeft haar familie in de nek hijgen en een knappe Anthony om naar uit te kijken. Anthony is druk met zijn nieuwe verantwoordelijkheden, zijn tegenstanders in de vete, en uitkijken naar een nieuwe ontmoeting met Verity (waarvan hij niet weet dat ze zo'n hoge rang bekleed in de maatschappij). Maar hij heeft weinig te bieden en probeert haar niet teveel aan te moedigen.
Omdat Verity dol is op paarden én een sterk rechtvaardigheidsgevoel heeft, is er ook een spannende paardenrace met een brutale actie van haar. Verity ontdekt dat Anthony de kasteelheer is en de romance lijkt een HEA te krijgen. Maar Anthony wordt ziek en kan zijn belofte om langs te komen niet waarmaken. Ondertussen escaleert de vete en Verity weet een mooi toneelstukje op te voeren om de vete voor eens en voor altijd te begraven.
Dan is daar de afgesproken datum waarop Verity opgehaald wordt om naar huis te gaan. Als Anthony beter is, treft hij het huis van Helena zonder Verity en blijkt ze ook nog eens dat ze de dochter is van een burggraaf.
Is er nog hoop voor een HEA? Of is dit het einde van hun romance?
Ook in dit boek lag de nadruk weer op De Bekering. Ik vond het mooi hoe Verity zich gewaardeerd ging voelen om wie ze was, terwijl ze in het begin een heel negatief beeld van zichzelf had. Ze voelde zich ongewenst door haar ouders, haar hele wezen voelde afgekeurd. Ze mocht niet zijn wie ze was, maar moest zich voegen in het leven en gedrag dat haar ouders voor haar uitkozen. In Schotland verandert dat en begint ze haar waarde in God te leren kennen.

Though this isn't the typical book type I read, I enjoyed Misleading Miss Verity. Verity is a strong-willed woman who lives in 1820 and is constantly restrained by the time period she lives in. Her parents arrange a marriage for her with a much older man she has no interest in.
When she visits her friend, Helena, in Scotland, she falls in love with the gardener next door, Mr. Jardine. She doesn't learn until late in the book that he is actually the laird of Dungally, not the gardener.
Will Verity be able to marry Mr. Jardine, or will she have to marry the man her parents picked?

WOW! That was my thought as I finished Carolyn Miller’s Misleading Miss Verity the third in the Daughters of Aynsley, Regency Brides series. The cover for Misleading Miss Verity is beautifully made with exquisite colors. There is an amazing castle of Scotland which stayed in my head as I read the story. I found myself carrying the book around with me and just placing it next to me so I could see and enjoy the gorgeous cover.
MIsleading Miss Verity is wonderful and I feel like it is one of Ms. Miller’s best novels to date. The dialogue is delightful, the setting is stunning, and the story is rich in Christian faith.
It is engaging and the hero, Anthony Jardine is one who will stay with me for a long time. The heroine, Verity Aynsley is a joy to watch transform into a woman of God.
I highly recommend Misleading Miss Verity it is a delightful book and an engaging read. You will not be disappointed to read it this holiday season.
I received a copy of the book from the publisher and was not required to write a review.

Misleading Miss Verity is the story of Verity Hatherleigh, the youngest daughter of Lord Aynsley, and I think it's the best book in the series. Not only did I love Verity—her spunk, her drive for equality, her care for others, her penchant for finding trouble—but I also appreciated that Miller made her vast regency world a little smaller by exiling Verity to Scotland for most of the book! Miller gave us a brand new cast of characters (for the most part), and the fact that most were not titled made it much easier to keep everyone straight.
Anthony and Verity's romance is full of obstacles, yet it's also so fun! The banter between the two is so humorous and flirtatious and enjoyable. And I really liked the supporting characters, especially Verity's best friend Helena, Helena's young brother Benjamin, and Anthony's friend/steward Mac.
As is common of a Miller novel, the faith thread in Misleading Miss Verity is strong but not overbearing. And, as usual, I came away from Miller's book with things to ponder about my own spiritual walk.
While this is the third book in the Daughters of Aynsley series, you could easily read it without having read the others. (I think this is the first time I can truly say that about a Miller novel!) The hours I spent reading Misleading Miss Verity were pure delight, and I highly recommend it to fans of regency romance!

This book is so far my favorite by Mrs. Miller! At first, I had a hard time getting into this book because I didn’t feel like I was connecting with the characters at all but the more I got into it, the more I feel in love.
When I was still having a difficult time getting into this book, Verity’s grandmother made me laugh. Though I don’t agree with her lack of faith, she was such a charming character that I would love to meet in real life!
Anthony and Verity were amazing characters that honestly warmed my heart so much. I loved seeing Verity grow and mature throughout this book. Her character arc was fabulous. Anthony was the perfect man for her and just a sweetheart himself. He also is Scottish so that made me love him even more!
The plot to this book was to die for and I could hardly put this book down. I loved everything about it. I loved the romance and it’s trope that was woven throughout. This book definitely made my evening!
I really enjoyed this novel and I cannot wait to read more of Mrs. Miller’s books in the future!

I have a difficult time saying goodbye. Whether it’s my favorite aunt leaving after a fun visit or the last twenty-five pages in the final novel of a series, I struggle to let go. Confession time — I’ve had a copy of Misleading Miss Verity sitting on my desk for a while now, but I just couldn’t face saying farewell to a series I have loved and enjoyed SO much. I finally did it though; I devoured the pages in a few sittings, and then took some days to digest all the amazingness that is Misleading Miss Verity. What a fantastic story! Verity and Anthony are excellent characters. Their love story is my absolute favorite of all Ms. Miller’s stories. I was so engaged the entire read I could not put the book down. And the themes are so timely. Truly, Misleading Miss Verity is a superb Regency novel.
Verity pulled at my heartstrings the entire story. I so badly wanted to reach into the pages of this novel and mom-hug her so hard. Like Verity, I have never felt like I belonged in my family. To call me the black sheep would be an understatement. On more occasions than not, I have left my family gatherings devastated. I know God doesn’t make mistakes, but it sometimes feels like I’m the mistake in my family. Verity has always felt like a mistake. If only she were born a boy, then maybe her mom and dad would love her. You see, Verity’s older sisters are perfect. They are exactly who their parents dreamed them to be. But Verity — Verity is wrong in every way. Kind of like me and my brothers. It is very clear that my brothers can do no wrong while I can do no right. But what I love so much about Verity is she doesn’t change who she is to please her family. She knows who she is and she accepts herself as God made her, impetuousness and all. Being OK with who we are is exactly what God wants because He does not make mistakes! If He wanted us to be the way our parents wanted, He would have made us that way.
My mom is amazing. I love her so much, but her criticisms and disappointment in who I am have caused me a lot of emotional pain. I believe her heart has always been in the right place, she does want what best for me. I just wish who I am was good enough for her. Verity’s mom, however, is beyond rough. She is downright mean. The constant negative remarks about Verity wear Verity down. Reading Misleading Miss Verity made me think about how I am as a mom. When I think of my daughter, a smile as big as Texas forms on my face. I love my kid. I think she is amazing. She is so goofy, intelligent, witty, caring, and resilient. She loves so much. I genuinely admire her spunk, creativity, and people skills. I don’t want my daughter to ever feel like a mistake. I know what it is like to be a Verity. I know how crushing it feels to never meet parental expectations no matter how hard one tries. Because of this, I make it a daily concerted effort to remind my daughter that both God and I believe she was made to fulfill an amazing purpose — God’s purpose. My daughter is no mistake, and I always tell her and show her that I love her exactly as she is.
Carolyn Miller is my favorite Regency-era novelist. Her writing style is superb, her characters are endearing and relatable, and her plots are some of the most engaging I’ve ever encountered. Misleading Miss Verity is Ms. Miller’s best novel to date, and I’m really going to miss my time with these fabulous characters. But, I do look forward to all Carolyn Miller has in store for us readers in the future. I’m positive it will be as exceptional as the Daughters of Aynsley series is.
