Do you like to wait until a Regency has a few reviews, positive and negative, before adding it to your collection? Here's a relatively new release (March of this year) with a 4.3 star rating on Amazon from twelve reviews. This is A Gift for Fiona by S.G. Rogers. She's best known for sweet fantasy romance, but lately she's been releasing some lovely historical romances, too. This one's set in the Victorian era. Here's an oldie that remains a perennial favorite. This is A Lot Like a Lady, by twin-sisters-from-different-mothers Kim Bowman and Kay Springsteen, originally published by Astraea Press (a/k/a Clean Reads) and now with esKape Press. Lady has a 4.2 star rating with 99 reviews, and was re-released in August of last year. Here's another recent release (April of this year), Maid for Romance by Ruth J. Hartman. It has a 4.7 star rating on fifteen reviews, and while the cover's not precisely Regency, it's gorgeous and that counts more. Be sure to watch out for the cat; there's one in every book Ruth writes. Another backlist title (from January of 2013), this is my own Regency sailing ship adventure~romance, A Different Sort of Perfect. It's been a thrill and an honor watching readers award it a 4.4 star rating on 21 reviews. Gives me happy dance feet! Thanks for stopping by. Happy reading!

Do you like to wait until a Regency has a few reviews, positive and negative, before adding it to your collection? Here's a relatively new release (March of this year) with a 4.2 star rating on Amazon from 76 reviews. This is The Perfect Lady Worthe, by USA Today bestselling author Rose Gordon. A novella rather than a full-length novel, Lady Worthe seems to be a standalone story, but of course Ms. Gordon has many other books to choose from on her Amazon author's page. Another cover with a gorgeous blue gown! Not a new title (December 2013), this is Forever Betrothed, Never the Bride, by USA Today bestselling author Christi Caldwell. It's the first of her six-book series, Scandalous Seasons. Forever Betrothed has 187 reviews and a 4.4 star rating. This one's a Victorian romance rather than a Regency; I couldn't turn away from that cover, even so. It dates from September of 2014. Ruse & Romance by S.G. Rogers has 25 reviews and a 4.1 star rating on Amazon. And that cover is beautiful, no? I'm proud and humbled by the awesome rating readers have given my clean Regency sailing romance, A Different Sort of Perfect — 4.3 stars and 19 reviews since its release in January 2013! Seeing that on the Amazon page always makes me smile. Thanks, readers! Thanks for stopping by. Cheers and happy reading,
Vivian Roycroft FREE REGENCY!!! Author Felicia Rogers is giving away her adventurous, clean Regency romantic comedy, The Ruse, today on Amazon. It's normally $2.99, so this is a good deal. Not sure how long this price will hold, though, so it's best to grab it today. Full disclosure: I edited The Ruse (and enjoyed it). I have no financial incentive here, although I am listed as editor on Amazon, so it's a bit of exposure. Here's the blurb: Luke Andrews, Baron of Stockport, is in trouble. He needs a wealthy bride to secure future funds for his financially shaky estate, but the belle of the London season is a spoiled terror with an arrogant father. They’d try the nerves of a saint and Luke can’t quite bring himself to make an offer he knows he’d regret. Meanwhile, Luke’s half-brother Chadwick never could resist a good game of Faro, or anything else, for that matter. With the baron away, Chadwick will play — gambling the estate’s remaining funds into oblivion. He needs to devise his own scheme to replace the money he’s lost, before his brother returns. In Stockport village, Brigitta Blackburn doesn’t have two sticks to rub together — literally. With the estate in financial distress and rents high, food and wood are scarce. When she sneaks onto the baron’s land to steal some firewood, she’s caught, hauled before the play-acting “baron,” Chadwick, and offered a solution to her plight… and his. But Chadwick’s ruse embroils them all. How can Brigitta accept what she thinks to be true, when she really yearns to follow her heart? (end blurb) Thanks for stopping by. Cheers and happy reading, Vivian |
