Distinguished Rogues #1-3
The Distinguished Rogues Bundle
Chills - Book 1
Jack, Marquess of Ettington, is at his wits end dealing with his twin sister's distress. Under her name, he's summoned Constance Grange, his vexing former ward, to London to act as his sister's companion for the season. Although Pixie's debt-ridden state comes as a complete surprise, what disturbs him more is his sister's plan to find her a wealthy husband to pay off her overwhelming debts. And--despite his availability, wealth and title--he's shocked to be overlooked for the position of Pixie's husband.
With a nickname like Pixie, Constance Grange should be used to disasters, but debt collectors pounding on the Marquess of Ettington's door demanding payment is beyond mortifying. Given the precarious state of her finances and the previously unknown loss of her family estate, her choices are either incarceration in debtors' prison or turning fortune hunter to secure a wealthy husband. Yet the man that comes to her rescue more times than she cares to think about is unavailable, betrothed, and her former guardian Jack.
Broken - Book 2
Unrepentant rogue, Giles Wexham, Earl of Daventry, wrings pleasure from every moment and likes his carefree life exactly as it is. During his summer retreat to the country, he becomes reluctant host and nursemaid to his former betrothed, a woman he’d thought long dead, a woman Giles had mistaken for a ghost while he'd found pleasure in another woman's arms.
Unbearable pain has kept Lillian Winter apart from society since the accident that ruined her life. She's endured six years of agony at the hands of incompetent practitioners and longs for an end to her suffering. Finding herself in the Earl of Daventry's care brings surprising relief from her injuries, and a longing for the life denied her. Yet as new-found pleasures lower Lilly's resistance to the wicked earl, a long-forgotten danger returns to stalk her.
Charity - Book 3
All of London is agog for the wedding of Oscar Ryall, the charming Lord Carrington, to this season's diamond of the marriage mart. Yet Oscar himself is less than happy with the circumstances that brought about his match to the coldest woman he's ever met. A woman he'd schemed to capture from the start, but who trapped him by scandal instead. Although bred to do his duty and wed as arranged, he's plagued by doubts about marrying the girl.
Agatha Birkenstock was devastated by Oscar's betrothal and his offer of carte blanche broke her heart. Granddaughter to a wealthy cit, Agatha could never be happy as Oscar's mistress and vows to protect her heart. But when they're forced to work together to save her beloved orphanage from closure, she's hard pressed to keep a proper distance. Although few in society seem to notice, Agatha glimpses the suffering in his eyes and against all sense, risks her heart again.
Three regency romance novels in one bundle.

I'm not really familiar with HB's writing. I know she's pretty popular, so when I saw Amazon had a 3 book bundle for $1 I decided to try them. It turned out my $1 was not well spent!
The first book was unreadable. I HATED the heroine with the cutesy nickname of Pixie. 1 star.
The second book was better, upgraded to a 2 star.
The third book was lame & HB has another heroine with the nickname "Precious". Gag. 2 stars because I could get through most of it. Maybe I should go back & give it one star, it wasn't really that good.
Anachronistic writing. No way were these people From the Regency time period. Dumb stories with too many contrivances. WAAAAY too many people thought these stories were 4 & 5 stars!
There's SIXTEEN books in this series. Holy cow!!
So not going to waste anymore of my money on this writer!

I really enjoyed the interaction between the characters in this one, there was loads of humour and originality in the story. She does stretch their cluelessness a bit far, but in my opinion it's still within tolerable limits. All over I found it to be a really enjoyable story, that I'm sure I'll happily read again.

Good characters with nice interaction. The story is simple, but lovely and a joy to read
Charity
Not as good as the other stories, but still a nice read

A series of stories with connections in the characters but entirely different story lines. I especially enjoyed the moments of humour with some characters

3 enjoyable love stories. Each different.
Each can stand alone but do provide a slight connection to other books of the series.
I would recommend each/all.

There are so many Regency authors publishing that it is difficult to discern which authors deserve a closer look.
Chills, the first book in the Distinguished Rogues series is free on Amazon, and is where I found it. The story is filled with humor and tension. Pixie is n London to find a husband and Lord Ettington, her former Guardian is upset that he doesn't feature in her search. Pixie has a way of ending up in the most improper situations and he has his hands full to try and protect her reputation. It is a good read and really something that stands out amongst Regency Romances.
Having said this, one is naturally apprehensive to read more novels in the series as sometimes it happens that the same recipe is used and only the names and small details changed. Heather Boyd, however, finds a way of surprising with each following book, each novel has an original story-line with characters that in no way represent the previous heroines. Every book is a fresh read and brings enjoyment to the reader.
