NEVER BORROW A BARONET

After caring for a crotchety countess, Patience Ramsey wants a more purposeful position. So, when Miss Thorn of the Fortune Employment Agency offers her the post of assistant to amateur apothecary Augusta Orwell, Patience jumps at the chance. Then her new employer introduces her at an Easter house party as the bride-to-be of her nephew Sir Harold Orwell. Miss Thorn's cat Fortune may approve of Sir Harry, but Patience has no interest in borrowing the handsome baronet. She's had her heart trampled on by false promises before.

Sir Harry has enough on his hands trying to restore the family name while spying for the English against he French. But the pretty Patience could cover for him when he must ply his trade during the house party, so he convinces her to agree to the charade. As Harry's work brings danger closer, he begins to realize Patient embodies everything he could want in a wife. Can he convince her to overlook the scandals surrounding him and exchange their false engagement for a true love?

My Review:

published in 2018

More Regency bliss from Regina Scott! Complete with banter and intrigue and entangled hearts! I mean, really, what could go wrong with pretending a false engagement for a week?! Bwahahaha!

So much to love about this Regency romance -- including the dashing spy hero who lives out a lie in order to serve his country! All kinds of lovely angst to muddle through on that count! Harry finds it hard to keep the pretence up with Patience though as sparks fly at the most inconvenient times. He has a war to win and she's a very proper lady just beginning her employment with his aunt.

And speaking of Aunt Gussie...one of my favourite secondary characters ever. What a riot! And a force to be reckoned with! And the whole household...village really...so loyal to Harry and his family. They all provide a wonderful backdrop for this 'fake relationship' romance, keeping things all stirred up and moving along nicely. :-)

Loved the extra element of suspense as Harry searches for a traitor in their midst. Scott has created a lovely balance between action and adventure and a classic Regency romance. Sublime from beginning to end.

We also get a little more back story on the mysterious Miss Thorn which was fun. This is the second book in the Fortune's Brides series and, while it can be read as a standalone, information about Miss Thorn and her unusual agency (and cat!) seem to be a continuous thread linking the books and I hope Miss Thorn will find her happily ever after as well before the series comes to an end.

I enjoyed listening to the audible edition narrated by Janine Meisberger.

Never Doubt a Duke

GIVEAWAY
RANDOM RETRO READ DAY

SCOTT, REGINA

NEVER DOUBT A DUKE

After spending the last ten years following her late husband on campaign, the irrepressible Jane Kimball finds herself badly in need of a position to support herself. Marriage holds no appeal; she's not likely to find a husband like her Jimmy again. But when Miss Thorn of the Fortune Employment Agency offers her a post with the Duke of Why, Jane feels drawn to help the lonely widower with his three daughters. He may seem a bit aloof, but Miss Thorn's cat Fortune approved of him. Why should Jane doubt a duke?

Alaric, Duke of Why, commands his staff, his tenants, and the halls of Parliament, managing vast holdings in England and across the seas. Why is it he cannot manage his own daughters? As an old danger rears its head, he comes to rely on Jane's practical nature, her outspoken ways to navigate the waters of fatherhood. And when necessity dictates he take a wife, thoughts turn to an unlikely governess who might make the perfect bride.

This sweet, clean Regency romance is the first in the Fortune's Brides series.

My Review:

published in 2018

I am in a state of twitter-pated stupefaction so don't expect coherency from me at this point...or any time in the future. Because....

Eeeeeppppp....literally everything I LOVE in a Regency to the nth degree!

And, can I say for the record, I never doubted this duke once during the course of my read! :-) There's a little bit of a Sound of Music vibe going on here as the very practical and decidedly ungoverness-y governess arrives at the Duke of Wey's estate. She manages to rock the austere household to its very foundation, from upstairs to downstairs and everything in between. All in a very good way, of course. Sometimes funny, sometimes touching and often swoonalicous (enter Duke stage left.) I'm still in the glory haze of reader delirium.

Love Jane -- she's. a unique heroine with an equally unique background. The widow of an army officer, she has lived an exotic life where she's had to eke out her own codes and standards which are very different from what the Duke's domineering mother expects from her granddaughters. Ha, let the clashing of wills begin as Jane sets out to show this upper crust matron (and the duke, insert silly fan-girling grin) that there's much more to a young lady's life than deportment and conniving for the perfect match...especially when the young ladies in question are all under the age of twelve!

Our duty bound Duke wallows in his responsibilities, so much so that he's turned over the raising of his daughters to his mother. Until Jane turns up and helps him connect with the little girls who clearly adore him. And in the process, the impossible happens. Attraction between a Duke and a governess? Not unheard of, but marriage between the two? Impossible!

Love the way this story flows, the expectional secondary characters who add depth and dimension and even a hint of sinister into the mix. And the romance...be still my heart. Perfectly paced in the most breathtaking way!

And I love the mysterious Miss Thorn of the Fortune Employment Agency. We get hints of her backstory and why she has come to be a champion of suddenly impoverished women. Plus there's her cat, Fortune, who is as royally smug as only a cat can be. Really looking forward to continuing the series...I can't believe I have gone without for four years!!!! I mean to catch up now though.

I listened to the audible edition expertly narrated by Janine Meisberger. I enjoyed the story all the more for her winning performance.

The Matchmaker's Rogue

GIVEAWAY
RANDOM RETRO READ DAY!

SCOTT, REGINA

THE MATCHMAKER'S ROGUE

Grace-by-the-Sea : Where romance and adventure come home.

Polished Jesslyn Chance has one of the most enviable positions in the little Regency coastal village of Grace-by-the-Sea. She is the hostess of the spa, arranging introductions and entertainments and playing matchmaker to the ladies and gentlemen who come to take the waters, promenade through the shops, and dance at the assembly. But when a rogue returns from her past, Jess finds herself suddenly at sea.

Always an adventurer, Larkin Denby left Grace-by-the-Sea to right the wrongful death of his father. Now he's back on a mission: to identify the mysterious Lord of the Smugglers who allegedly sails from Grace Cove and takes England's secrets to France. But Grace-by-the-Sea is the perfect little spa town, run by the still oh-so-perfect Jesslyn Chance. When the village's future is threatened, Jess must work with Lark to solve the mystery and protect the town's own. In doing so, the matchmaker of Grace-by-the-Sea may just find that the best match for her is the rogue who stole her heart years ago.

My Review:

published in 2020

Careful as you read this one -- the swoons are catching! So clear off the fainting couch and grab your smelling salts before turning a page, you don't want to be caught unawares in a melted puddle of bliss lest you miss something important. Like an intricate plot point, 'cause there's mystery! And smugglers! And a wild Dorset coast to be conquered! When you're not hobnobbing with the gentry and locals at the spa, that is. 

Loved all the quirky details about the benefits of 'taking the waters' and the day to day workings of this sought after retreat! Admirably managed by Jesslyn Chance, a heroine with intelligence and grit and a knack for genteel matchmaking. Who has a past with an unexpected visitor! That's your cue to swoon because Larkin Denby is....thud! Noble and haunted and dedicated to his country...and falling in love with Jesslyn all over again. Sqqquuueeallll -- reunion romance with a frisson of intrigue!

And, double sqqquuueealll! This is the first book in Scott's Grace-by-the-Sea series and there are definitely some threads left dangling -- not in a frustrating way though. More of an excited-to-keep-reading way. Though, I'll warn you now not to read the synopsis of the other books like I did, 'cause they post a few spoilers about some of the mysteries still left unsolved at the end of this one. :-(

The Matchmaker's Rogue kept my in a twitter-pated state right to the very end! And that's partly due to the excellent narration by Jannie Meisberger. Love that this whole series is on audible!

Frontier Matchmaker Bride

GIVEAWAY

SCOTT, REGINA
FRONTIER MATCHMAKER BRIDE

The lawman meets his match

Successful Seattle matchmaker Beth Wallin has her most challenging assignment yet -- find Deputy Hart McCormick a bride. Beth's still smarting after the handsome lawman spurned her affections a year ago. But if she finds Hart a wife, Beth will gain favor with the city's most influential women...and perhaps free her own heart, as well.

Marriage is the last thing on the deputy's mind. After tragically losing his sweetheart, he vowed never to love again. But as sweet, spunky Beth introduces him to potential fiancees, Hart finally feels a spark...for her! The stubborn bachelor will be Beth's first matchmaking miss, unless they can both admit that she ust might be his perfect match.

Frontier Bachelors: bold, rugged -- and bound to be grooms

My Review:

Love it when a matchmaker gets caught in a web of her own making! And Beth is a force to be reckoned with but she's so vibrant and sweet and cheerful it's hard for Hart to hold a grudge. Or even dissuade her. He's held a certain regard for the feisty matchmaker since her audacious declaration months ago. His unkind rebuff was meant to spurn...and protect...Beth. And while he still feels confirmed bachelorhood is the decent thing to do, Beth has stirred foreign longings that are proving hard to fight.

In addition to all the fun and sniping this deputy and his matchmaker bring to the story, there's a suspense plot that stirs everything up into an exciting frenzy. And Scott has dedicated some satisfying page time to the heroes and heroines of previous books in the series. Namely Beth's brothers -- all happily married but still trying to run her life anyway. So much fun! Each book reads well as a standalone but this is a great series that you'll want to catch up with if you enjoy historical romance with sass and humour and a hard-won happily ever after.

The Bride's Matchmaking Triplets

GIVEAWAY

SCOTT, REGINA
THE BRIDE'S MATCHMAKING TRIPLETS

Marriage by Necessity

When mail-order bride Elizabeth Dumont's intended weds another, her only option is to take a job as nanny to abandoned triplet babies. Though she longs to provide a real home for her three precious charges, as a single woman she can't adopt. Until her onetime sweetheart, minister Brandon Stillwater, offers a match of convenience...

It's only for the triplet's sake -- that's what Brandon tells himself. Insecurities once drove him and Elizabeth apart, and now small-town rumors have made them man and wife. And though Brandon doesn't want to risk his heart this time, he's not sure he can resist the feelings that are once again starting to bloom for Elizabeth. But can he convince her that this sweet surprise family is more than just convenient?

Lone Star Cowboy League : Multiple blessings -- abandoned triplets find a home and bring hearts together in Texas

My Review:

Combine the Second Chance at Love and Marriage of Convenience themes and toss in 3 bundles of joy and you get hours of reading pleasure. The babies are adorable and more than a handful and I love how they drew not only Elizabeth and Brandon together but the entire town as well. In fact the town has a character all of it's own and the townsfolk are wonderful busybodies that drove me crazy and left me alternately laughing and fuming. And if they did that to me, you can imagine how Elizabeth and Brandon felt! Sweet, fun and satisfying.

This is the third and final book in the Lone Star Cowboy League - Multiple Blessings though it can be read as a standalone (I haven't read the first two.) However, there's plenty of 'read time' with the previous heroes and heroines so makes for a satisfactory wrap-up for followers of the series.

A Convenient Christmas Wedding

GIVEAWAY

 

SCOTT, REGINA
A CONVENIENT CHRISTMAS WEDDING

The marriage agreement

Proposing a marriage of convenience to a rugged logger is the boldest move of Nora Underhill's sheltered life. In return for Simon Wallin's protection from her overbearing family, the unassuming seamstress offers prime frontier farmland. But their paper marriage changes when Nora's greedy brother tries to draw her back into a life of drudgery. Her only option: move to Simon's farm, and into the center of his loving, unruly family.

Years of shouldering responsibility have left Simon cynical and reserved. But little by little, Nora's warmth opens his shuttered heart to joy. With their marriage claim under threat, can this practical arrangement blossom over the holidays...and become a love for all seasons?

My Review:

A three-legged cow and a talking dog. Need I say more? I do love the unexpected when it comes to animals in a story and Scott certainly delivers! And I do love a good marriage of convenience romance and this one is excellent.

How Simon became so serious and reserved coming from the rowdy Wallin clan is beyond me. Loved the give and take between all the siblings -- lots of comedic fodder there. And fans of the Frontier Bachelors series will enjoy reconnecting with these audacious brothers.

It isn't long before Nora works her magic on the entire family -- a reluctant Simon included. Christmas festivities prove to be the perfect backdrop of their burgeoning romance. A scrumptiously festive read for the holidays.

Frontier Engagement

GIVEAWAY

FRONTIER ENGAGEMENT

School Bells and Wedding Bells

James Wallin's family is depending on him to find a schoolteacher for their frontier town. Alexandrina Fosgrave seems to be exactly what he needs to help fulfill his father's dream of building a new community. If only James could convince her to accept the position.

Alexandrina has traveled west to seek a fresh start, not to find a groom. But after she's stranded in the wilderness with James, he offers her his hand in marriage to protect her reputation. Both are afraid to fall in love, but maybe an engagement of convenience could make them reconsider…

Frontier Bachelors: Bold, rugged—and bound to be grooms.

My Review:

James is such a teasing rogue that I want to be annoyed with him, but I can't. I'm too busy swooning! And laughing. He's outrageous and flirty and has a wicked sense of humour and is all too determined to make life into one big lark. Of course, Rina just happens to be his exact opposite. A little uptight and too serious for her own good. Cautious where James is impulsive. You might think her reserved nature would be overshadowed by James's larger than life persona but actually the opposite is true. Rina can hold her own and the two compliment each other -- if only they'd stop sparring long enough to notice!

 Action and romance plied with plenty of laughter make this a read to remember.

Would-Be Wilderness Wife

GIVEAWAY

SCOTT, REGINA
WOULD-BE WILDERNESS WIFE

The Kidnapped Bride Drew Wallin's youngest brother is determined to see him married - so he kidnaps Drew a prospective bride. Not only is Catherine Stanway beautiful, but she's a nurse who can help their ailing mother. Drew doesn't have time for distractions - he's too busy watching over his fatherless siblings. Yet he's drawn to this woman who carries loss and pain equal to his own. Catherine has traveled West to use her nursing skills to save lives, not to find a husband. She knows if she gives in to Drew's matchmaking family, she'll be risking her already bruised heart. But maybe it's time she takes the ultimate risk to win the groom she didn't know she wanted! Frontier Bachelors: Bold, rugged - and bound to be grooms

My Review:

I'm loving this series! Would-Be Wilderness Bride is the second Frontier Bachelors story. Readers who have read The Bride Ship will be familiar with Catherine and a few of the secondary characters. No worries, though, this book reads perfectly well as a standalone but it does continue the story of the Mercer Brides in Seattle.

The shenanigans of Drew and his brothers put me in mind of that epic film, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. There's humour aplenty as the conniving Wallin family decide they want Catherine as a daughter-in-law with Drew as the perspective groom. Both are resistant to the idea, but not to each other. Such a conundrum! A slightly sinister side plot balances the levity and provides a bit of intrigue. A powerful combination that kept me turning pages. Another winning read from this wonderful author and I am thrilled that Drew has so many brothers because that means there will be plenty more to come.

The Bride Ship

GIVEAWAY

SCOTT, REGINA
THE BRIDE SHIP

Sweetheart reunion

What was his brother's widow—his first love—doing on a ship full of prospective brides headed out West? Clay Howard had been tasked with escorting the Boston belle home, but he didn't anticipate Allegra being so strong-willed—or that he'd wind up traveling with her just to keep her from leaving without him!

Allegra Banks Howard isn't going to let Clay interfere with her plans for a new life with her daughter on the frontier. True, Allegra needs his wilderness savvy, but if Clay thinks he can rekindle what they once shared, he had better think again. Because risking her heart for a second chance at being his bride isn't something she'll undertake lightly….

Frontier Bachelors: Bold, rugged—and bound to be grooms

My Review:

This is a subject that has fascinated me for years so I was thrilled to discover The Bride Ship was inspired by actual historical events. Asa Mercer's enterprise of shipping Eastern ladies to Washington Territory is the perfect setting for romance as far as I'm concerned. And this is a shipboard one!

Allegra and Clay's second meet is memorable. All fire and ice -- anything but lukewarm! Years and life experience have matured them and suddenly their previous relationship pails in comparison to the depths that are possible this time around. Of course, they are both reluctant -- but the ship's close quarters and conniving friends mean success is inevitable.

A perfect blend of humour and drama with a good dose of romance thrown in. Stunning start to an new series.

But...

There is one thing that threw me for a loop. Tell me what you think. All the single ladies are referred as Ms. not Miss. And it happens over and over again because, of course, no proper gentleman would presume to address a woman by her first name. So it's Ms. O'Rourke this and Ms. Stanway that. I associate the term Ms with the 20th century woman's movement so I did some research. Turns out it has been noted as far back as the 17th century but usually as an abbreviation to Mistress on a tombstone. In 1901 it was briefly proposed as a solution to the problem of having to address a lady without knowing her marital status. Heaven forbid you use the 'inferior' term of Miss to a Mrs! How derogatory! Anyway, just as I thought, the term wasn't universally adopted until more recent times. So it totally pulled me out of the story every time I saw Ms. instead of Miss. I've begun to wonder if it was a massive auto correct-glitch. And no other reviews have mentioned it so far. Am I crazy?

THE HUSBAND CAMPAIGN

A Marriage of Necessity

The moment John, Lord Hascot, encounters a young woman sheltering in his abandoned stable, his future is sealed. To prevent scandal—and protect Lady Amelia Jacoby from her parents' ire—he must propose. John's ability to trust vanished when his former love married his twin brother. Yet he offers Amelia everything she could want—except affection.

Amelia sees John's true nature shine through when he cares for his horses. But the brooding aristocrat seems determined to keep her at arm's length. Little by little Amelia will turn Hollyoak Farm into a home, but can she turn a marriage of convenience into a joyful union?

The Master Matchmakers: Wedding bells will ring when downstairs servants play Cupid for upstairs aristocracy

My Review:

I've really enjoyed this series and am sad to see it end. Love the Regency time period and the conniving downstairs matchmakers and all the havoc that ensues. :-)

Once again Scott swept me back to Austen's England and I so enjoyed the journey. Amelia and John's romance has become one of my favourite 'marriage of convenience' stories. It is a tender love story punctuated with clever wit that still has me smiling.

I loved Amelia's gentle wooing of her husband. Poor John didn't stand a chance though he gave it a valiant effort. His ability to finally develop trust in his new wife makes for a tender inspirational thread. And Scott has thrown in a diabolical plot complete with a few ne'er do wells that will set your teeth on edge.

A definite must read for Regency romance lovers.

THE WIFE CAMPAIGN

Three Candidates. One Perfect Bride.

Whitfield Calder, Earl of Danning, would much rather spend a fortnight tending to his estate than entertaining three eligible young ladies. But when his valet insists that marriage is an earl's duty, Whit agrees to the house party. He has no intention of actually proposing to anyone…until flame-haired Ruby Hollingsford declares she'd never accept him anyway.

Ruby has been tricked into attending this charade, but she certainly won't compete for the earl's attentions. Yet, Whit isn't the selfish aristocrat she envisioned. And with a little trust, two weeks may prove ample time for an unlikely couple to fall headlong into love.

The Master Matchmakers: Wedding bells will ring when downstairs servants play Cupid for upstairs aristocracy

My Review:

I adore this author and love this series!!!! It’s like stepping into Jane Austen’s world with a whole new set of characters. Scott has the dialogue down pat as well as the aristocratic nuances that drive this 21^st century reader mad – with delight and despair. Despair because of the pandering to class distinction and delight because her heroine, Ruby, is an ‘original’ and thankfully, so is the hero, Whit. Aptly named, by the way, because he certainly has to have his wits about him when dealing with Miss Ruby Hollingsford! Their rapid repertoire is glorious.

There’s sweet romance, loads of humour and a surprising thread of suspense within the pages of this book. Definitely the kind of mix that will carry a reader away…but beware, the jolt back to modern reality will hit you hard when you’re done.

THE COURTING CAMPAIGN

The Nobleman and the Nanny

Emma Pyrmont has no designs on handsome Sir Nicholas Rotherford—at least not for herself. As his daughter's nanny, she sees how lonely little Alice has been. With the cook's help, Emma shows the workaholic scientist just what Alice needs. But making Nicholas a better father makes Emma wish her painful past didn't mar her own marriage chances.  Ever since scandal destroyed his career, Nicholas has devoted himself to his new invention. Now his daughter's sweet, quick-witted nanny is proving an unexpected distraction. All evidence suggests that happiness is within reach—if only a man of logic can trust in the deductions of his own heart.

My Review:

Exquisite detail in both character and setting make this a 'be swept away into another time and place' kind of read. The author has taken exceptional care with characterization and I loved the way Nicholas approaches every problem with a scientific hypothesis. I'm still grinning over some of his conclusions. Scott combines a winning mix of humour, drama and romance. The result is a memorable story that will uplift and satisfy.

The Heiress's Homecoming

GIVEAWAY

THE HEIRESS'S HOMECOMING
SCOTT, REGINA

To keep her cherished childhood home, Samantha Everard must marry by her twenty-fifth birthday. Yet she refuses to marry on a whim, not even to save her fortune. When she returns to Dallsten Manor to say goodbye, the last person she expects to see is her handsome, disapproving neighbor William Wentworth, Earl of Kendrick.
 Will is certain the scandalous Everard family is nothing but trouble. He shouldn't care about Samantha's predicament, but her feistiness and kindheartedness intrigue him—as does her refusal to wed. He wants to help, especially when he perceives the threat that surrounds her. Soon his greatest wish is to persuade Samantha that her true home is with him.

My Review:

Honestly, there are some amazing Regency romances out now in the Christian market and this is one of them. Makes me wonder at the publishers who are saying the Regency era isn't popular any more. It's become one of my favourite time periods to read about!

Scott has an interesting twist in this romance which made it a unique read. Plus there is an intriguing sub-plot with a touch of suspense. Throw in a reluctant hero who just can't keep himself away from the heroine and a heroine who isn't looking for a hero and you get a winner of a read.
