REVIEW of Miss Delacourt Speaks Her Mind, by Heidi Ashworth
Miss Delacourt Speaks Her Mind is a delightful romantic farce in the glorious tradition of Georgette Heyer. When Ginny Delacourt’s great-aunt sends her on a mission to inspect some rosebushes and orders Sir Anthony Crenshaw to be Ginny’s escort, some pesky highwaymen, a stolen carriage, and a two-week quarantine (for fear of chicken pox) at a…

REVIEW of The Curiosity Keeper, by Sarah E. Ladd
This book was a decent Regency romance although not particularly memorable. I received it for my birthday a year ago, and as items sometimes do in our house, it promptly disappeared. One of the kids found it buried under my dresser last week, and I was excited to have something to read during Christmas break…

RELEASE of The Duke’s Last Hunt, by Rosanne E. Lortz
My latest Regency is out today! I hope you’ll take a look at it. With her third London season drawing to a close, the shy Eliza Malcolm seems unlikely to find any husband, let alone a titled one.

In The Mistress of Tall Acre, Laura Frantz explores the time period directly following the American Revolution.

REVIEW of Blackmoore, by Julianne Donaldson
I read and moderately enjoyed Julianne Donaldson’s debut novel Edenbrooke, but when I read her second book Blackmoore, I was blown away. This was one of the most satisfying Regency romances I have ever read. The characters, especially the first person narrator heroine, Kate Worthington, were portrayed with depth and understanding. I loved the spiraling flashbacks…

Intent on rescuing the estate, Haro abandons his long-held…

REVIEW of Georgette Heyer’s Regency World, by Jennifer Kloester
When reading Georgette Heyer’s books, you can sometimes find the story so enjoyable and full of levity that it seems like you’re reading “fluff”, not serious historical fiction. But Heyer was a meticulous researcher using actual places, persons, foods, furnishings, and turns-of-phrase from the Regency period. I didn’t realize just how detailed Heyer’s books are…

REVIEW of Venetia, by Georgette Heyer
Venetia Lanyon has never been out in London society, and at twenty-five years of age she is almost on the shelf. After the death of her mother, her reclusive father kept the family tethered to the country estate, and after the death of her father, the role of managing the estate fell upon Venetia–at least,…

REVIEW of The Convenient Marriage, by Georgette Heyer
If you’re looking to read something unpredictable, Georgette Heyer books are not for you. Thirty-something-year-old former rake falls in love with young girl barely out of the schoolroom (or alternatively, with a spunky twenty-something-year-old “spinster”), and after many misunderstandings, much wearing of finery, probably some gambling over cards, perhaps a duel or two, and loads…
