About the author
Maria Greene
52 books26 followersI have always been fascinated by historical events, especially British and French. Most of my stories are set in Georgian and Regency England. Some deal with the Jacobite rebellion, and my very first published book was set in Louis XIV's France. I like lots of action and intrigue. The romances set in the Regency period have a bit of intrigue and lots of humor. This year look for the first installment of my fantasy series, TRIALS OF HALLION, Two of Swords, book 1.

"The Most Unlikely Papa" by Maria Greene
Widowed Allegra Rutherford has only one thing to look forward to - the birth of her child. She does not, however, plan for it to come quite so soon - and certainly not after a carriage accident, with a notorious rogue like Jack Hollister, Earl of Roche, as her only attendant. A rogue who is suddenly looking at her, and her newborn, with the utmost tenderness in his eyes, and the sweetest words on his lips...
"The Muddled Matchmakers" by Victoria Hinton
Hugh Grayson, a widower with a small daughter, can think of nothing he wants less than to marry again. His father, however, seems to have different plans - and is now in league with a baronet next door, who wants his own widowed daughter to find love again. It's a tangle of epic proportions - until Hugh realises that the young woman in question has inspired feelings of a decidedly romantic nature...
"A Father's Love" by Donna Simpson
Unmarried by choice, Lady Theresa Barclay has always found "projects" to keep her from boredom. When a widower with two small children takes up residence at a nearby estate, she is intrigued. James Martindale is suspicious of her motives and highly protective of his offspring until she convinces him that she can help them all adjust to country life. But will she adjust to falling in love?
The Most Unlikely Papa started out well but fizzled rapidly as it became more ridiculous. Allegra was such an ungrateful cow to the man who had saved her life & her newborn's, & I didn't believe Jack would have fallen in love with her no matter how intrigued he was with the baby.
The Muddled Matchmakers is a fun read & it makes a nice change for the fathers to be the matchmakers. Hugh Grayson & Dawn Kendall are likeable lovers.
A Father's Love is an entertaining tale, with engaging characters & the growing love between Theresa & James is believable.
