The tiny village of Hemshawe is the sort of place where
nothing ever happens…until a handsome ex-soldier and his
matchmaking sister let the imposing manor house at the edge
of town. The friendly Londoners shake up the staid people
of Hemshawe, and villagers see each other in a new and oh-
so-appealing light.
Suddenly long-sparring enemies become lovers, a town
festival heralds a new start for a fallen woman and a
dandy, and a man who has given up on love gets a second
chance with the woman he never forgot. And the matchmaker
herself? She won’t rest until she finds her own happily-
ever-after…
A MADNESS IN SPRING in Spring by Kate Noble
Adam Sturridge has made Belinda Leonard’s blood boil since
childhood, and the feeling is mutual. But when a would-be
matchmaker arrives in the village of Hemshawe, she’d
determined to erase the thin line between love and hate.
Now, Belinda and Adam are faced with falling for someone
they’ve always considered an enemy — can they overcome old
prejudices and discover how to rub each other the right
way?
THE SUMMER OF WINE AND SCANDAL by Shana Galen
When viscount’s son and dandy Peregrine Lochley is
temporarily exiled from London to the country for his
misdeeds, the last thing he expects is to encounter an
intriguing woman. But Caroline Martin has a secret to hide,
and it just might be too scandalous for even this debauched
rogue.
THOSE AUTUMN NIGHTS by Theresa Romain
Ten years ago, wealthy Eliza Greenleaf broke lowly soldier
Bertram Gage’s heart—but the last decade brought changes in
fortune to them both. Now that he’s made his mark on the
world, a twist of fate brings the Greenleaf family under
his power. Will this war-hardened officer triumph over his
former lover…or will Bertie and Eliza give love a second
chance?
THE SEASON FOR LOVING by Vanessa Kelly
Miss Georgie Gage, matchmaker extraordinaire, is resigned
to life as a spinster—almost. When notoriously aloof
bachelor Fergus Haddon arrives from Scotland to spend
Christmas with the Gage family, Georgie thinks she’s
finally found her own perfect match—if, that is, she can
get the handsome Highlander to agree!
I would love to win! (Joddy Lantigua 9:25am November 11, 2015)
What I like, is that these books are quaint, have a bit of History thrown in, although stretched, and the Romance isn't on the erotic side in most cases. You also get a flavor of another life - across the pond, from another time, and it makes for an enjoyable read. Congratulations on your latest book!! It should do well, and I've already put it on my TBR list!! (Peggy Roberson 9:38am November 11, 2015)
From an atmospheric perspective, I love the "Lady" and "House of" delineations. I also like the fact that the books have a gentility and class about them that is missing from a lot of the more contemporary set novels. (Edward Washington 9:47am November 11, 2015)
