Genre: 
Historical

A sweet and romantic collection of six short stories by six separate authors, set in the historical regency era. One becomes the confidant of Elizabeth Bennett from the classic Pride and Prejudice, with an intimate tale of kidnap and a heroic Mr. Darcy. Then follow Miss Elizabeth Gilford, a young lady in her debut season, with all the excitement and drama as she hopes to capture the heart of the one she loves most. Travel aboard an American ship with Ms. Thankful Winnings, who is destined for adventure during the Napoleonic wars and dares to hope for love too. Discover long-thought-lost love letters with Regina Weathers as she mends her broken heart.  Ellen Stanhope's second chance at love with her estranged husband and a scientific obsession brings the opportunity of love for the destitute Mabel Russell.

 

This latest "Timeless" release is a diverse collection of stories that have a common thread of romance and adventure. The heroines are endearing and admirable in their pursuits of love and independence in a regency world not always supportive of such women. Some moments dwell too much on the heroines emotions, and a story or two is somewhat slow to start, but contain a number of intriguing characters over all that add such charm and wit! All the stories are on the cleaner side of romance and focus on the intimacies of the heart rather than physical, yet never lack in love and affection to win over the reader. Delightful, charming and such regency fun!
