Deborah (162 KP) rated The Spanish Bride in Books
Dec 21, 2018
The Spanish Bride is one of Heyer's Regency novels, but unlike the others we are not in the social whirl of the Ton. Most of the action takes place during the Penninsular War and Harry and Juana are real historical characters. I did enjoy this, but it might not be what you are expecting.
graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Tabitha's Tangle (Herberts, #4) in Books
Feb 15, 2019
There is something so delightful and relaxing about a Regency romance. Maybe it's the manners, so very proper, at least on the outside, that soothes my temperament. Whatever it is, I needed a familiar read, so I reached for a Regency to fit the bill.
TABITHA'S TANGLE afforded me the luxury of sinking back in time of grace and romantic entanglements. While the little bit of mystery is obvious, the courtship between Tabitha and Hugh is sweet enough to make up for it. The two leads are absolutely charming and I enjoyed every moment of their struggle do what is right and still get what they want. While at times I thought the pacing slow, mainly it was due to my impatience rearing its head. A lovely way to pass a few hours with.

Deborah (162 KP) rated Captain Ingram's Inheritance (Rothschild Trilogy, #3) in Books
Dec 21, 2018
Captain Ingram's Inheritance follows on from the two previous stories in this trilogy, Miss Jacobson's Journey and Lord Roworth's Reward. They are Regency romances in the traditional vein, but a bit more tongue in cheek than someone like Georgette Heyer. The best comparison would probably be with some of the Regency stories written by MC Beaton - if you like them, you'll love these.
English readers may know Carola Dunn from her Daisy Dalrymple books, but she is originally English and has written a fair number of regencies. It looks like most have only been published in the US, although they are available on Amazon as Kindle editions.
The three books are very much related and should be read in order to give you the bigger picture; this book and the previous volume very much cross over, almost like one story.
