    The Pride of a Gentleman @lindaraesa #RLFblog #regency

    Welcome Linda Rae Sande author of The Pride of a Gentleman, a new early Regency romance.
    Why did you write this book?
    This is the second book in the epic series, “The Cousins of the Aristocracy”. Although it can be read as a standalone, it’s a follow-up to The Promise Of A Gentleman and features the four couples that ended up together at the end of that epic historical romance. Their stories certainly didn’t end there, as they’ve all been included as minor characters in some other of my books that take place in 1814 – 1818. After sixteen novels, my Regency world has grown rather large, but I’m careful to keep track of everyone and all their relations.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    Regency romances, although I used to read science fiction exclusively for many years.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Susan Calvin from Isaac Asimov’s “Robot” series.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    Book 3 in “The Widows of the Aristocracy” series.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    The Honeymoon of a Marquess is up next, a sensual tale featuring two couples that end up courting and marrying over the course of just a couple of days. As with most of my other books, it includes a good deal of humor and a surprising hero. The other hero is a “silver fox”. I love writing older characters and have begun featuring more of them in my books.
    Please tell us about your latest book.
    Genre Regency romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    First comes matchmaking. Then comes marriage. Then comes a baby carriage … well, usually.
    Life in 1802 London throbs with great expectations and unlimited potential. A house under renovation reveals its secrets, and newlyweds Gregory and Christiana Grandby embark on a wedding trip to Italy, determined to keep their secret.
    Thomas Wellingham’s import business grows faster than he can manage with his brash and brave new wife Emma as head accountant.
    Thomas’ best friend, Todd Vandermeer, accepts his offer of employment despite concerns about the viability of Wellingham Imports. His wife, Deborah, is expecting their first child, after all, and he needs the position.
    Now that he’s completed his life’s work renovating every townhouse his wife, Sophia, owns, James Simpson is ready for a new job—that of father. Having informed Sophia he would like an heir, he’s surprised to discover plans for a family aren’t so far-fetched. But can she abide a late-in-life pregnancy and the possibility of heartbreak should it all go wrong?
    Can best friends and family remain so when life doesn’t quite get it right? Are romance and marriage compatible, reconcilable? Perhaps, but only if they can overcome “The Pride of a Gentleman.”

    A Home for Helena, Regency time travel @susanaauthor #RLFblog #romance #bellesinblue

    A Home for Helena, a full-length novel, sells for $2.99 but is discounted for a limited time only for $0.99 for today’s Bookbub promotion.
    The character of Lady Pendleton first appeared on my blog, Susana’s Parlour, in December 2012 as a way of introducing some of my less knowledgeable readers about Regency England and some of its more (in)famous characters. She appears in my first published story, Treasuring Theresa, published January 3, 2013. You can read the first post here: https://susanaellisauthor.wordpress.com/2012/12/29/susanas-adventures-with-lady-p-the-introduction/
    Agatha Tate, Lady Pendleton, is one of those eccentric old women who pretty much does what she wants and dares the high sticklers of the ton to challenge her, which none is willing to do because of her status as a dowager countess with influential friends. She got into time-traveling after a falling-out with her husband, which you can read more about it Book 1 of the series, The Ultimate Escape http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Escape-Lady-Chronicles-Book-ebook/dp/B01DUWNMJA. Since then, she time-travels discreetly between the 19th and 21st centuries and both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, which is how I first met her. I am indebted to her for her willingness to regale me with all of her thoughts and opinions, as well as the details of some of her adventures in time-travel. More recently, Lady P condescended to accompany me to the past on a visit to Vauxhall Gardens. That experience is reported here: https://susanaellisauthor.wordpress.com/?s=Lady+P
    Believing that she has been misplaced in time, Helena Lloyd travels back two hundred years in an attempt to find out where she belongs. Widowed father James Walker has no intention of remarrying until he makes the acquaintance of his daughter’s lovely new governess. Lady Pendleton, a time-traveling Regency lady herself, suspects that these two belong together. First, however, she must help Helena discover her true origins—and hopefully, a home where she belongs.

    To Save a Viscount @JessieClever #RLFblog #Regencyromance

    Welcome Jessie Clever author of To Save a Viscount, a new Regency
    romance.
    Why did you write
    this book?
    I wrote this book because Lady Margaret Folton insisted I do
    so. Maggie was a character that popped in an earlier book in this series, and
    she had such a fascinating story, I knew she would require a book of her own. So
    here it is.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    I love historical fiction. It’s so important to study
    history and learn from the things of the past. Historical fiction is a great
    way to introduce new topics and subjects to readers, and I love the power it
    has to encourage a love of history.
    Who is your favorite
    character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I love and hate Lisbeth Salander from the Girl with the
    Dragon Tattoo series. She stays true to her character right through to the end
    even when she makes you cringe. She’s so beautifully written it’s stunning. It
    literally takes my breath away when I see how brilliantly she’s written.
    What are you working
    on at the moment?
    I have begun drafting the follow up series to the family of
    spies found in the Spy Series. This series is called the Shadowing London
    Series and will focus on the children of the Black family of spies.
    What books will we see
    from you in coming months?
    I plan to release the first book in the Shadowing London
    Series, a late Regency/early Victorian historical romance focusing on Samuel
    Black, the oldest of the Black family off spring, this fall!
    Please tell us about
    your latest book.

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    When an
    assassin threatens England’s spy network, Lady Margaret Folton must find the
    killer before it’s too late. Hardened from being forced to witness the murder
    of her British spy parents by French revolutionists, Margaret approaches this
    mission like any other, with steely determination and a resolute focus on the
    necessary outcome at the cost of all else.
    Commodore
    John Lynwood, newly returned from the Mediterranean, finds himself granted the
    title of viscount in honor of his service during the war. Plagued with a string
    of good luck throughout his life, the title serves as another reminder that
    Jack has done nothing to earn the glory and prestige that comes with his
    position, and he’ll be damned if he’ll enjoy such an honor.
    But
    when Jack is accidentally granted a title meant to be used as bait to lure the
    assassin into the War Office’s trap, Margaret must face the tragedy of her past
    and decide which is more important: the assignment or love?

    Brette: Intentions Gone Astray #regency #romance @Collette_Author #RLFblog

    Welcome Collette Cameron author of Brette: Intentions Gone
    Astray, a new Regency Romance.
    Why did you write
    this book?
    Brette: Intentions Gone Astray is the third book in my
    Conundrums of the Misses Culpepper series.
    I knew Brette, and her hero, Alexander Hawksworth had to
    have their own happily-ever-after since the first moment they met, and she
    thought he was a valet.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    Historical romance and just about every subgenre.
    I like the little historical tidbits I learn while I’m
    indulging in a romantic read.
    It’s sort of like hiding veggies in macaroni and cheese so
    my kiddos didn’t realize they were getting healthy food with one of their
    favorite meals.
    Who is your favorite
    character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I usually say the Count of Monte Cristo, and he’s still my
    standby hero, but I was just thinking about The Three Musketeers the other day.
    I’ve always been a fan of D’Artagnan.
    What are you working
    on at the moment?
    I just finished up a novella for a boxed set releasing in
    March, Regency Ever Afters, and I’m closing in on the last chapter of another
    novella for—you guessed it—another set, The Forbidden Highlands.
    As soon as that’s finished, I’ll jump right into the 6th and
    final book in my Highland Heather Romancing a Scot series.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    Well, I already mentioned two of the sets I’m involved with,
    but there are two more as well: Her Perfect Gentleman and A Lady for Every
    Lord. You’ll also see Passion and Plunder, the 5th book in my Highland Heather
    Romancing a Scot series.
    Please tell us about
    your latest book.
    He thought his adventures were over…
    A rogue reluctantly turned rector, Alexander Hawksworth,
    prefers soirées to sermons and parties to prayers. Though impoverished, he
    seizes every opportunity to escape parish duties, preferring to hob nob with
    London’s finest–especially after the precocious and petite Brette Culpepper
    arrives in Town. Alex secretly fantasizing about claiming the breathtaking
    beauty as his very own, and when he unexpectedly inherits an earldom, he’s
    determined to make her his countess… Until he’s accused of murdering the
    previous earl.
    Then she burst headlong into his life…
    New to Society, Brette adores the whirlwind social scene,
    the stream of invitations… the slightly-sensual verbal sparring with the
    devilishly attractive, much too witty, and oh so unsuitable Mr. Hawksworth. But
    her fairy tale existence crashes to a halt when rumors circulate she’s a peer’s
    illegitimate granddaughter. Even though he’s left her a tidy inheritance,
    formerly hospitable doors slam in her face as a newly appointed guardian
    emerges, intent on stealing her wealth and forcing her to wed an elderly
    despot.
    Time is against them as Alex struggles to clear his name and
    deliver the woman he loves from an unthinkable fate

    The Marquess and the Midwife @AlinaKField #RLFblog #Regency #Romance

    Welcome Alina K Field, author of The Marquess and the
    Midwife, a new Regency Romance.
    Why did you write
    this book?
    For starters, I love the Call the Midwife stories, as well
    as secret babies. And, a few months before I started The Marquess and the
    Midwife, a family member tragically lost a good friend in childbirth to
    toxemia. (Unthinkable, right, in the twenty-first century?) I guess pregnancy
    and childbirth were on my brain! Somehow, my muse came up with this story.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    I love Regency romance, and I especially love stories with a
    lot of adventure added to the romance.
    Who is your favorite
    character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Hmm. May I have two? I love the rascally Rupert Carsington,
    the Mr. Impossible of Loretta Chase’s book by that name. I also like William
    Doyle, the bluff , clever spy of Joanna Bourne’s The Forbidden Rose. Actually,
    all of Chase’s and Bourne’s characters are brilliant, but they both write the
    most delicious heroes.
    What are you working
    on at the moment, and what will we see from you in coming months?
    I’m working on a Regency series about four adult children
    being married off by their father, an earl who is a retired spy lord. Or is he
    retired? Book one is called The Bastard’s Iberian Bride and will be coming this
    spring.

    About The Marquess and the Midwife

    Genre: Regency romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
    Once upon a time, the younger brother of a marquess fell in
    love with his sister’s companion. He was sent off to war, and she was just sent
    off, and they both landed in very different worlds.
    Now Virgil Radcliffe has returned from his self-imposed
    exile on the Continent to take up his late brother’s title and discover the whereabouts
    of the only woman he’s ever loved.
    Abandoned by her lover and dismissed by her employer,
    Ameline Dawes has found a respectable identity as a Waterloo widow, a new life
    as a midwife, and a safe, secure home for her twin girls. Called to London at
    Christmas to attend her benefactress’s lying-in, she finds herself confronted
    by an unexpected house guest–a man determined to woo her anew and win her
    again.
    But, is loving the new Marquess of Wallingford a mistake
    Ameline cannot afford to repeat?
