  I truly enjoyed this classic Regency romance by Rosemary Morris. It's refreshing when authors get their facts right and respect the rules of the genre. I was transported to the lavishly described opulence of the noble class in 1822 London. It was such a pleasure to read this very well researched story with many historically accurate details. I also relished the vocabulary of the period the author wields with great skill. And I liked the teasing element of exotic India. Elizabeth is a strong heroine, despite the restrictions imposed upon the women of her time. It is imperative that she makes a good impression in high society to find the most suitable husband, but things rarely go as planned, and the choice is not so easy. Elizabeth faces the bitter rivalry of two men vying for the perfect wife. In the midst of intrigue, betrayal, hidden conflicts, and dangerous scandals, who will ultimately win her heart and her hand? Geoffrey, the epitome of the perfect gentleman, rich, with an impeccable pedigree? Or the wild and fascinating tiger of a man, Victor?
  
• The Viscount and the Orphan on Oct. 26, 2022
  
  Never underestimate the power of a naïve orphan heiress. In a time when marriages were arranged for financial gain, age didn’t matter much. Consummation just would have to wait a few years, until the young lady was ready. But these things don’t always go according to plan. Young Dorinda is an heiress, unaware of her worth, a little plump, too young and naïve to attract men, and enamored with romance novels. No wonder she falls head over heels for the dashing viscount, the knight in shining armor, who will save her from the orphanage, keep her in luxury, and love her forever, like the heroes in her novels. But Gabriel, Viscount Cavanagh, the incorrigible gambler and libertine, is bankrupt, and his authoritarian father is forcing him to marry the ugly duckling or be ruined. Cavanagh realizes Dorinda has unrealistic expectations and he doesn’t want to hurt her… but with no other choice, he must play the game. What I like about this novel, is that both characters evolve and mature over the course of the story. Conflicts and mysteries abound, danger is real, mistakes are made, feelings are shattered, but love still finds a way in the end… with an unexpected twist.
