Austenite by obsession. Romance writer by compulsion. I write Pride and Prejudice variations, Regency romance, and stories where the characters have better comebacks than I do. I like my heroines bold, my heroes redeemable, and my readers laughing out loud.
I write between genres because I have a questioning, wandering mind and I get fascinated with many things. I love writing contemporary romances, mostly later-in-life, but always with hope and HEA.
One day I will get to finish my crime novel. Honestly, I will.
I earned the KDP Select All Stars bonus for Mr Darcy's New Year's Resolution in January 2026.
Also, I’m an award-winning author:
I won the RISCS Short Story Competition 2026, hosted by the University of Bristol.
I won the Story Unlikely

Professionalism, or Lack Thereof

My Blog, My Romps, My Opinion

I thought of talking about professionalism, or lack thereof, in this post. I mean, it’s MY blog, and I’ll cry if I want to. I’m not invading someone’s wall or a group’s space.

There is a fierce battle going on in the JAFF community between the AI-haters and the cool-headed. I’m one of the second lot. I understand that this thing is here to stay and it’s only

Mr Darcy's School for Scoundrels by Lefki Karantoni
"I thoroughly enjoyed the banter between them, it was hilarious and I had a few laugh-out-loud moments. It was fun exciting and incredibly enjoyable."
Sweet Caroline by Lefki Karantoni
"If you love enemies to lovers, READ THIS.

Ms. Karantoni is one of my favorite authors, and this story is a prime example of why. Watching Colonel Fitzwilliam and Caroline Bingley... yes, CAROLINE BINGLEY... fall in love was worth every obstacle and b" Read more of this review »

This book was recommended to me by my editor and friend, which, coming from her, says a lot. She was right.
I loved this modern take on Darcy and Elizabeth, their history and the fact that neither ever truly moved on. The art-world setting was fascina

Ms Earle has become an auto-buy author for me. Mr Darcy's Long Game is another gem that delivers exactly what I like: subtle, often startling humour, a zero-angst (or very low-angst) love story, and just the right tiny splash of steam to make everyth ...more

Quotes by Lefki Karantoni  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“But looking at Jane, and looking at you, I find I am simply tired of being angry. It is exhausting work, hating you, Mr Darcy.”
― Lefki Karantoni, Mr Darcy's New Year's Resolution: A Light-Hearted Festive Regency Romance of Pride and Prejudice

“He stroked the leather binding with his thumb, a look of profound, hazy longing softening his usually severe features. He looked less like the Master of Pemberley and more like a man who had been hit over the head with a very heavy realization.”
― Lefki Karantoni, Mr Darcy's New Year's Resolution: A Light-Hearted Festive Regency Romance of Pride and Prejudice

“Elizabeth met his gaze head-on. She channelled every ounce of her anger into that look. She thought of Bingley's abandonment. Jane's tears. His haughty dismissal of her beauty. She narrowed her eyes, communicating a message that clearly said: I loathe you, and if I could set you on fire with my mind, you would currently be ash.”

“Lizzy," Charlotte hissed as Elizabeth rejoined them. "Please tell me you did not just verbally eviscerate the richest man in the room.”
― Lefki Karantoni, A Very Tolerable Christmas: A Pride & Prejudice Christmas Variation Novella

“You have just saved your sister from a gorgon. You should be knighted. 'Lady Elizabeth, Slayer of Snobs.'" "It is a tempting title," Elizabeth laughed.”
― Lefki Karantoni, A Very Tolerable Christmas: A Pride & Prejudice Christmas Variation Novella

“Well done," he muttered into the dark. "A flawless performance. Ten thousand a year, excellent breeding, and a social sensibility that would shame a brick.”

“And then," Robert was saying, "the horse sat down. Simply sat down in the mud. And I said, 'Well, if you are going to be like that, I shall simply have tea here.'"
Miss Lydia shrieked with laughter. "Oh, Lord Keathley! You are so funny! Is it true you have been to a duel?"
"Two," Robert lied smoothly. "I ran away from both. Running is a very underrated military tactic.”
