Do you love old-fashioned Regency Romance novels?
Will a genuinely old-fashioned Regency Romance that was actually written 35 years ago–but has only been recently published–that includes a wealthy, slightly older, not-so-helpless fine lady who curses (lightly), regularly insults the hero, knows how to ride, shoot, drink, throw a punch and darn well rescue herself when necessary, suffice? If so, you might want to check out my Regency Romance novel A Very Merry Chase. Is it great literature for the generations? Probably not–but it is a fun read in the tradition of the comedy of errors/manners vein that will, amuse and entertain. The first chapter is available online for free.
