Aphrodite

A fun, sparkling read for fans of Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer and Downton Abbey.


"Best Regency romance book I have read in years." - K. E. Timbreza

"Just like with Artemisia, Aphrodite is an enthralling Regency romp full of endearing and meddlesome characters, a stubborn hero and heroine, and hilariously entertaining mix-ups and tangles!" - Austenesque Reviews

"Truly witty, delightful characters. Even minor characters are well drawn. And it is truly humorous. The author has mastered the art of satire with a heart." - Dragonlady


"I fail to see why you expect me to put up with your acerbic charm? Others of your acquaintance might be inclined to do so, but I, strange creature that I am, will not!"

When the beautiful Miss April Hartwood arrives in London to be introduced to Regency high society, she hopes for some fun and frivolity after a life spent in rural obscurity in Cornwall. Unfortunately for her, her grandmother has other ideas...marriage. Lively and strong-willed, April does not appreciate being compelled to catch a husband. Yet, before long, she finds herself courting the affections of the Duke of Claredon, while struggling with a wholly inappropriate attraction to the insufferable Mr Royce.

In the lead up to Christmas, in the year 1820, a delightfully devious campaign is orchestrated to bring together two people destined for one another, regardless of the obstacles to be overcome and the inconvenient tendency on the part of the protagonists to resist their attraction...until they are finally brought to realise they cannot escape fate, or the meddling of one determined grandmother!

Author's Note: The novels in the Regency Goddesses series are standalone and can be enjoyed in any order. And for those of you who are wondering what to expect in terms of heat, the content may be sexually charged but it is perfectly clean. If you are looking for Fifty Shades of Grey set in the Regency, these novels are not for you!
