Books by Barbara Metzger
Although the title and cover of The Wicked Ways of a True Hero made Barbara Metzger’s newest a little hard for me to pick up, I’m glad I did. Told primarily from the hero’s point of view, the author spins a story with a lovable and entertaining hero who brought to mind another of my favorite ...
There's nothing better for December reading than a traditional regency romance set during the Christmas season. Thank you Signet for re-printing several of the beloved old favorites including Father Christmas, by the wonderful mistress of regency humor, Barbara Metzger. Leland War ...

This is the first book I have read by Barbara Metzger. To be honest, this is not usually the type book I would choose to read. Historical romance has never been my cup of tea, but I found Truly Yours to be better than most. The story takes place in Regency London; Amanda Carville has been impri ...

Last year she made the move from trads to full-length historicals. While I have read and enjoyed many Metzger trads, this is my first read in the longer length, and ...

Unfortunately, the plot is a total mess; but for lovers of humorous romances, this will be prime stuff. Viscount Aubrey "Stoney" Wells ...

If you can read a book in a day, barely putting it down for a break, then it must be pretty good. Love, Lousia is a book that started out with a witty bang, yet by the middle I found myself putting the book down, becoming a bit bored with the dragging plot. And the characters, which are interesting ...
