Regency Romance

  • Lord Grafton’s Promise

    Jenna Mindel’s tale of suspense and suspicion reads very smoothly – so smoothly, in fact, that I sat down one evening to read a few chapters at bed time and, before I knew it, it was past midnight and I was still flipping pages. This is not an action-packed read, but there is just something…

  • When Horses Fly

    When Horses Fly, with its interesting premise and admirable heroine, didn’t live up to its promise. It started well, but lost steam as the story progressed. Cora, an impecunious young woman, offers her household and nursing skills to elderly relatives in exchange for room and board. After her latest patient’s death, she travels to a…

  • My Lady Gamester

    Richard Stanton, the Earl of Stoke, is an ex-Army Captain who recently inherited his gamester father’s title. During the past year he has tried to untangle the estate’s finances and keep his young brother out of the gaming hells. The gambling gene runs rampant in the family and Richard works hard at not succumbing to…

  • The Lady Is Mine by Judith Laik

    The Lady Is Mine is a completely traditional “trad” Regency in every way…until the reader gets to the love scenes, which would not be out of place in a Regency-set historical. The hero and heroine engage in deliciously improper behavior each time they find themselves alone (thankfully they are betrothed the whole time), and are…

  • Regency Christmas Courtship

    This book was featured in Pandora’s Box for December 2005 It’s October and that means it’s time for the latest Signet Regency Christmas anthology, which is the only anthology that is an automatic buy for me. Even though the temperature was 90 degrees outside, as soon as I began to read, I was lost in…

  • The Abducted Bride

    Enjoying The Abducted Bride requires a huge suspension of disbelief. Was I able to do so? Not entirely. Amy Cole has spent her life immured in the country. Her mother died birthing her and she has spent her life taking care of her alcoholic father. Now that her father is dead and her brother Robert…

  • Dedication

    Don’t be fooled by its sedate-looking cover. Like other Signet covers, it features the couple leaning into each other, sitting on a bench, Yes, they have a book, but frankly it looks like every other trad Regency cover you’ve seen in recent years. But this is nothing like every other Regency. Not only is it…

  • The Convenient Bride

    This Regency Romance has a very sweet opening chapter, which had me in high hopes of a terrific read. However, the rest of the book did not live up to its promise. The book opens with 16-year-old Briana Garland visiting her friend Emily Clearbrook. Emily’s older brothers are very attractive and all of Briana’s attention…
