Ditto -- I read one title but didn't keep - Would love to know which ones are your favorites and were keepers. Thanks. |

Susanna, she writes Regency and while most (imo) range from okay to pretty good, she did a great job on A Compromised Lady. It's the only keeper on my shelf by her. If you only read one by her, make it this one. The story and characters are right on. |

I was the one saying that they all are on my keeper shelf. ITA about "A Compromised Lady". "Lady" is connected to 2 others although I wouldn't call them a "series" especially, just that characters appear in all 3. Believe those two are "Lord Braybrook's Penniless Bride" and "Unexpected Bride" but I could be wrong. Details would certainly be on her webite. Keeper status? That's harder to define but for me she fits the bill in this respect: Sometimes I just want a book where the characters act true-to-the-period, their motivations are well spelled out, the language is again true to the period, plot is well developed-BUT the characters motivate the plot-it's not plot driven as many Regencies are these days-there's NOT a villian or a spy or a duke around every corner. Many of her books are about 2 people getting to know each other, overcoming the bumps in the road that lead to their HEA. Again, in that respect, the books are more the "Regency" of 10 or more years ago-which I prefer. Favorites? Mistress or Marriage?, The Unruly Chaperon and His Lady Mistress Hope that helps,
