The luck of the Irish is with me! Recently I discovered (and have since devoured) another Regency Romance series. The Blackhaven Brides series by Mary Lancaster strikes a delightful blend of romance and intrigue due to its “cozy” setting in a fashionable town on the English coast that just happens to be a haven for brandy smugglers. Yes, please!
While Blackhaven Brides contains more than its fair share of Regency romance tropes, Lancaster handles them with a deft touch. Her love for the genre and the era shine through her characters which include smart, capable women and charmingly snarky men. The author is also adept at interweaving the citizens of Blackhaven into dangerous yet believable situations for some lovely swashbuckling fun!
Visit Ms. Lancaster’s website at www.marylancaster.com or click the words below to see the series on Amazon. Box Sets 1 and 2 are available on Kindle Unlimited, too! (For my “sweet & clean” romance readers, please note – these books contain detailed bedroom scenes.)
