The Quintessential Fancy series consists of two books published in 1987, early in Vicki Lewis Thompson’s career. The Quintessential Woman and Fancy Footwork are short category romances that show the playful voice Thompson would become known for in her later, more popular series.
These early books are representative of Thompson’s approach to romance writing from the beginning: likable characters, light humor, and stories built around the push-and-pull of attraction between people who have good reasons to resist each other. While they lack the elaborate settings of her later cowboy or paranormal romances, they provide a look at where Thompson’s style started.
