In Pamela’s Second Season Donna Simpson ties up loose ends from A Country Courtship, gives us the main story, a romance between Pamela Neville and Malcolm Bercombe, the Earl of Strongwycke, and introduces us to Pamela’s sister Rachel, who will be the subject of the next book. Gerry, Lord Haven, is in London with his…
I think the Congress of Vienna of 1814-185 is really interesting. The fates of millions of people were decided amongst serious partying, and it was interrupted by Napoleon’s escape and the events leading up to the Battle of Waterloo. Any romance placed in this setting should be fascinating. A Foreign Affair, alas, is far from…
Miss Abigail Todd journeys from Boston to England to claim an inheritance from a mysterious relative, and she is surprised to find herself falling in love with the man society has termed The Indifferent Earl. This is Blair Bancroft’s first Signet Regency, and while it has its flaws, overall it is entertaining and worth a…

The two women, and Cassie’s friend Antoinette, have come to Cornwall to visit Aunt Chat’s friend – the Dowager Lady Royce. Lady Royce’s son Phillip, Earl of Royce,…
If writing traditional Regency Romances were an Olympic sport, Susannah Carleton would get a 10 for technical proficiency and a 5 for artistic impression. The Marriage Campaign has a lot of excellent details, but because of the short length required in this sub-genre, the details are hastily displayed, quickly referenced and difficult for the reader…
This was a tough book for me to grade because I think there are two types of romance fans who will pick up this novel and your reading experience with The Perfect Lover will likely depend on your previous acquaintance with Laurens’s series of Cynster novels. For Cynster followers like myself, this book delivers the…
Brenda Hiatt’s latest release, Innocent Passions, showcases her ability to weave a tale of romantic intrigue into a Regency setting that is far more than wallpaper. With a little more work on the characters and their interactions, this author’s work could ascend from pleasant distraction to true delight. Miss Rowena Riverstone has just arrived in…
Valentine Wharton was last seen in Captain Cupid Calls the Shots, when he was struggling with drink and more than a little in love with the heroine. Now he’s sobered up and starring in a book of his own with a Jane Eyre-ish vibe; he’s a sardonic, enigmatic employer in love with his daughter’s quiet…
There are lots of different elements in this book: mistaken identity, road romance, suspense, political intrigue, and family secrets. They all work pretty well, and the book would’ve been a real winner for me if the hero had been drawn as strongly as the heroine. As it is, I can still recommend it with very…
I’ve read Elizabeth Thornton before, but I’ve never read an Elizabeth Thornton quite like this one. Frankly, before reading this book, I rated her as an author I enjoyed when persuaded by reviews and message board buzz to check out her latest release, but definitely not as an autobuy. All that’s changed. In Almost a…
