Such a fun tale! As an ardent reader of Heyer Regency romances, this was a perfect fit! It is quite a tangled tale with duels, impersonators, and a complex family tree. 😄 Oh, and lovely friends!

I will definitely look for more Joan Aikens! Any recommendations for particular titles?

TheAromaofBooks Aiken is a weirdly hit or miss author for me. For instance, The Wolves of Willoughby Chase is one of my all-time favorite books - but the rest of the series got progressively weirder and creepier. She wrote several Austen sequels that I have enjoyed but not loved, as well. 2w
mabell @TheAromaofBooks What a crazy coincidence! I just saw the Wolves of Willoughyb Chase secondhand yesterday! I saw the author and thought Ooohh, great timing! Then I read the summary, and I thought it seemed too dark for me. 😬 I should have just picked it up in case! 1w
TheAromaofBooks It is a little dark for a children's book, but SO good. But I probably wouldn't chose it for one of our “lighthearted“ reads 😂 1w

Good. Interesting take on the romanticism and romantic society in Regency Britain.

Infamous by Lex Croucher is a lesbian version of Bridgerton.

I enjoyed how inclusive this narrative was. I've posted a fuller review on my blog, John C Adams Reviews, for anyone who's interested:

To Catch an Earl | Kate Bateman

I enjoyed Bateman‘s Ruthless Rivals series immensely, but I‘ve been underwhelmed by the Bow Street Bachelors. While this has plenty of snarky banter, there‘s an excessive amount of whiny, angsty internal dialogue from both MCs, much of which felt like filler to make a word count. I would have preferred more of the cat-and-mouse game between the MCs and less of the internal angst. The side characters are great, though.
