Current WIP

Keepsake, an upcoming regency romance, is keeping me up nights. It’s my first romance with an already married couple and this pair do not get along. At all. I’m about a third of the way through the first draft. This pair, Kit and Miranda, have major chemistry but they dont understand the first thing about each other. I have a feeling I might need a few hugs as this one gets written. They’re bound to exhaust me.

Book reviews and reviewers

Many thanks to those who’ve requested An Accidental Affair to review via NetGalley. Approvals are up-to-date and if you were not accepted it was likely for the following reasons:

  • No working links to a blog, reviewing account at Amazon or other selling sites, or even to Goodreads even when specifically mentioned in your profile.
  • Review blog mentioned is abandoned (not updated recently) – come on we do check these things. Some mentioned blogs were even blank!
  • Cited interests, field of work, age conflict with the content of my book. I write regency romance that tends to be on the dirty side. If there’s a chance the book going to offend your sensibilities it got a decline.

In short when it comes to NetGalley approvals, if your profile is solid (links that work, description that proves you do like hot historical romance) we probably would have approved you. Netgalley is not a site to grab a free book. It’s for legitimate reviewers and that is who we approved. Thank you for taking the time to ask.

Now, since its Friday afternoon I’m going to grab a glass of wine, my ipad and settle back to read a regency romance and watch the yachts sail by on Lake Macquarie. Have a great weekend!

About the Book:

London’s ballrooms and bedrooms thrive on scandal and decadent pleasure and the summer of 1814 will be no exception for the Distinguished Rogues in Heather Boyd’s latest Regency romance.

An Accidental Affair

Widowed beauty, Arabella Lawson, Lady Farnsworth, knows the value of independence after being trapped in a marriage that left her unfulfilled. Although she longs for a lover at last, she’s expected to chaperone her flirtatious niece during her first season. However, given the way the girl keeps disappearing every chance she gets, there is little hope of a good or speedy result. While searching for her charge yet again, she blunders into one of Lord Rothwell’s scandalous assignations. This time it’s Arabella’s turn to be on the receiving end of his hungry kisses, and she’s far from prepared to make the most of the opportunity.

Gossip may paint Merrick Bishop, the Earl of Rothwell, as a notorious scoundrel when it comes to women, but this season his intentions are honorable. Duty bound to marry, he’s determined to discreetly court an open-minded bride and prove the gossipmongers wrong by being on his very best behavior… until in his frustration, he mistakenly kisses the wrong lady and discovers that everything about the encounter feels so very right. Merrick never once believed he had a chance with shy Arabella, and when the unthinkable happens, she turns to him not for an affair or hopes of marriage but for his friendship and protection from her own family.

Can a rogue with a reputation for breaking hearts convince a widow who only hopes for an affair that their feelings are not only the stirrings of desire but the beginnings of the deepest and truest love?

Exclusive Excerpt: Join me at Laurel O’Donnells First Kiss Friday

Happy Friday! I hope your new year is going as well as mine. Starting this year with a bang and I’m so pleased to be fellow Love Historical’s author Laurel O’Donnell‘s guest  on her blog today and sharing the first kiss scene from Miss George’s Second Chance. Swing on by to read the exclusive excerpt from this sweet regency novella.

Brighton_200
A Miss Mayhem Novella

 

~ * ~

 

When desperately private writer Imogen George offered to marry Peter Watson it wasn’t just to save a friend but to secure her own future. With her eyesight failing and no other prospects for marital bliss on the horizon, surely it wouldn’t be too horrible to marry without the benefits of love. When Peter gains a title and fortune a week before they’re set to wed, the right thing to do is release him to spare him the burden of her limited future.

Peter had believed that marriage to Imogen would work out until she set him free one week before the wedding with a cruel truth spelled out plainly. Bitter, he’s spent a year away to lick his wounds but found the carefree life of a wealthy man utterly lacking the things he needs most. Returning to Brighton, he discovers the woman he was once to wed has an even greater problem than he’d ever experienced. This time it’s within his power now to help her and he’ll do it…one stolen kiss at a time.

Miss George’s Second Chance is a steamy regency romance novella

 

What have I been doing? A writing update and thank you

Is it time for a writing update?

Can you believe 2013 is almost over? I’m kinda in shock and wondering where the year has gone. I’ve been so busy writing my regency romances that I’ve skimped on writing updates here on my website. So if I haven’t been here then what exactly did I do for the past twelve months? I wrote a lot of regency romances. Hmm, let me see what I did manage to accomplish this year.

019_HTH_167

New Stories

  • Guarding the Spoils
  • Miss Watson’s First Scandal
  • Hunting the Hero
  • Miss George’s Second Chance

Two novels and two novellas. Plenty of new regency romances to keep you up late. 🙂

Revised and republished

  • One Wicked Night – wicked short story
  • Love Me Tender – part one of the Love Me duo

After publisher Noble Romance shut up shop and returned my book rights I had both books reedited prior to publishing again. I hope everyone has enjoyed the updated and now fairly priced works if they missed them the first time round.

That’s a huge amount of work right there when you count in new book covers, formatting and uploads. My editors have been simply amazing this year.  Love their dedication to their craft and patience with my work.

Over the course of this year, and this year is still going because I’ve not stopped working yet, I’ve written over 290K new words in stories alone. More words written than published wish means I’m ahead for 2014. Woo hoo! Good times. No wonder my writing updates have been few and far between. LOL

Many thanks to you wonderful readers who’ve picked up the odd copy of my work and been kind enough to contact me or leave a lovely review around the web. Those words of encouragement keep me writing and discovering new ways to make my characters find the one their meant to love. More of that to come. Everyone deserves a happy ending in my regency world.

Take care

Are you ready for the one that got away?

Are you ready for the one that got away?It’s teaser Tuesday so I’m sharing a sneak peek at my upcoming release, Hunting the Hero.

Since escaping abduction, Rosemary Randall has become a master of reinvention. With a fresh name and an intriguing new lover, she’s determined to forget the past and make the most of her scandalous life. So when she hears her brother is searching for her, she put her pen to paper to try to explain her reasons for not going back.

Dearest Leopold,

In a perfect world I would be with you and our brothers at Romsey. In a forgiving world any eccentricities could be overlooked and not used to harm others. However, life is not simple and not every indiscretion can be forgiven. When you have fallen as far as I have, there is little point in making plans beyond survival and the briefest taste of pleasure.

I thank you for your concern. But I must beg you to stop searching for me. I cannot come back. I was never perfect and I cannot forgive as easily as you have done. Not everyone should be found, or saved.

 

Your loving sister,

Rosemary

Hunting the Hero will be available to read on September 1st. Not long now.
