Lords, Ladies and Babies: A Regency Romance Set with Little Consequences by Merry Farmer, Meara Platt, Scarlett Scott, Annabelle Anders, Tammy Andresen, Tabetha Waite

5.0

This is a great boxed set to help get your mind of COVID-19. Secret babies are one of my favorite tropes so I was hoping this set would give me my fix and it did.

THE DUKE'S SURPRISE by Meara Platt... Wow, I’m a fan of the name Cheyne now! This is a relationship based on deception. Jennifer is dumped on Cheyne’s doorstep with a baby. But is she who she really says she is? I enjoyed this story very much. Very funny!

THE SCOT'S BAIRN by Tabetha Waite... Damaris Honeywell ruins herself to try to escape an arranged marriage with Laird O’Donogue and there are some unintended consequences including a baby. This is one of my favorite tropes and I enjoyed this story. Very steamy!

THE DUKE AND THE GOVERNESS by Tammy Andresen... The Duke of Chance needs a governess for his niece and Lucy Frank is just the lady. Maybe she could become more than a governess? Sweet story. Love heals all!

THE PERFECT LITTLE MARQUESS by Annabelle Anders... The Duke of Warwick’s family has had many tragedies befall them and this spare heir needs to secure an heir for himself. There was a lot of emotion and angst, which I love!

THE SUBSTITUTE LOVER by Merry Farmer... Lord Benedict Killian calls upon Meg Wallace to give him an heir without the shackles of marriage. There’s some money in it of course! There is a little more chemistry than they bargained for, however. This novella is scorching hot.

WOOED IN WINTER by Scarlett Scott... Mrs. Scott is one of my all-time favorite historical romance authors. She can do no wrong. I love everything she writes. This one has the angst I love. The Marquess of Haven is reunited with Hannah at a country house party. They each blame one another for ruining their lives. They soon realize that there was meddling that intervened in now-widowed Hannah’s ill-fated marriage to an odious man.

I love boxed sets because they give me a lot of variety and a chance to find new authors I like of the same genre!
