My Fair Gentleman by Nancy Campbell Allen

The book gives serious Pride and Prejudice vibes, probably because the author wrote of Edenbrooke as a great English estate similar to Pemberley and made its master as distinguished and mysterious as Mr Darcy. When it comes to Clean Romances (also called Proper Romances), Edenbrooke features right at the top of the list. Someone else will have to tell me about them. This time around I read the books instead of listening to them, so I have no clue about the quality of the audiobooks. I recommend you start with Miss Lockharte’s Letters if you do read her books.

These books are superb for when you want to do some light, relaxing reading - they work like a good palate cleanser after a heavy read.

I will not say that her books had unpredictable storylines, but her writing was sweet and humourous. Like the covers (above) suggest, she is not a part of the fresh crop of Regency Romance writers, but she also doesn’t belong to the same generation as Georgette Heyer.

Her Scottish brogue accent is to die for!īarbara Metzger - Wedded Bliss, A Worthy Wife, Miss Lockharte's letters I especially recommend the audio version of Holiday House Parties narrated by Mary Jane Welles. You'll find them sweet, funny and filled with comedies of errors. I have only read her Christmas novels, and since we are fast approaching December, this is a great time to read these books. That she was a playwright is probably why her books sparkle with such wit and humour. She wrote her regency romance novels under the pen name of Elizabeth Mansfield.

The author of these books is the famous playwright Paula Schwartz. Let’s begin this list from books where the door is just a bit open to give a small peek to those books which squarely fall under the Christian (and very tame) romance category.Įlizabeth Mansfield - A Christmas Kiss, Winter Wonderland The books below are not the same but enjoyable nonetheless. Also, if you’re a Georgette Heyer fan like me, you’ll enjoy this list more, since her books usually contained only one tame kiss right at the end of the book, which is why they were so full of romance, humour and fun. If, like me, you feel that high sexual content sometimes takes away from the story itself, then this list is just the one for you. Today, I give you the list of my favourite Closed-Door romances. In my last post, I gave you the list of my favourite Open-Door Regency Romances - books which had a lot of steamy scenes and bodice-ripping.
