Regency Romance: The Four Lords’ Saga: Complete Box Set
Regency Four young lords live for wine, women, and song and little responsibility. But then an incident occurs and they make a wager that they should wed by age thirty . . . and that these be love matches.
Now, in this Regency Romance, all four lords are in one volume. Follow the trials and tribulations of these four young men as they search for the perfect wives.
The London rake known as Lord Windmere , Matthew Edmund Fremont, is on the prowl for a wife. He has always liked the younger sister of his best childhood friend, Robbie Thornton, but will he even consider Lady Jane? After all, she’s too young and too innocent for someone like him.
The Duke of Weirlane , Crispin Alan Copley, is determined to attend a house party with a debauched reputation. Enraged to find his best friend from childhood attending, he vows to protect her from the reprobates that will also be in attendance—including himself—and will not hesitate to deflower an innocent. Unfortunately, the best-laid plans go awry.
And the Regency Romance continues . . .
Gareth Edward Russell, Lord Foxdown , is a victim of coup de foudre , love at first sight. The object of his love is the eldest unwed sister of his friend, the Duke of Weirlane. Gareth is determined to marry the young woman, and the duke is just as determined that Foxdown will not. And will the duke’s formidable temper cause him to call his friend out? After all, Crispin has fought two duels in the past for lesser reasons.
Jules Lagrant, Lord Brookton , may be the least handsome of the four lords, but he is the most popular with the ladies in London for his prowess in the bedroom. He is also the most temperamental and debauched of the four lords. Irritated that the friendship of the four young men has been broken up by the marriages of Lord Windmere and Lord Weirlane, he is finding that life is not as satisfying as it had been when carousing with his friends.
Corina yelled at the butler. “Get the servants to safety, now!”
And the older man fled down the hallway just as two men with daggers appeared.
“Well, well, what do we have here? Jake, what should we do with these two lovely ladies?” Both men grinned at the girls, assuming it would be no contest. The men began to circle them as Jenny and Corina stood back-to-back, each facing an opponent.
“Bend,” Jenny hissed then a moment later screamed, “Bend,” and Corina bent slightly allowing Jenny to leap back and use Corina as a brace.
At the same time, Jenny aimed a powerful kick outward and struck the man called Jake in the forehead with a metal tipped boot heel, and the man dropped like a poleaxed steer.
Around the corner came a third man with a pistol in one hand and a dagger in the other. The two women would now be fighting for their lives.

About the author
Gianna Thomas
29 books51 followers Gianna has been in love with Historical Romance/Mysteries, and especially Regency Romance, for many years. But it wasn’t until 2013 that she started writing in this genre.
Gianna discovered Pride and Prejudice, and its many variations, what ifs and fan fiction. She was totally fascinated by the variety of plots that eager authors had utilized. After reading several of these fascinating books, she realized why others loved them and Jane Austen’s books so well.
Gianna was aware of the storyline of Pride and Prejudice after reading it many years ago and seeing the 1940’s movie as well as the 2005 movie with Keira Knightley and Matthew MacFadyen. She loved the 2005 movie and the musical score. Yes, the movie wasn’t 100% accurate, but isn’t the goal to entertain and touch the heart? And this movie touched her heart and helped her to appreciate more the talent of Jane Austen.
Rereading Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice has given her greater insight into Ms. Austen’s genius in depicting different personalities and situations and the society of her day. As a mature adult, Gianna sees much more in her books now than ever before.
After reading nearly 200 variations and fan fictions, Gianna now had P&P plots running through her head. She finally decided that they needed to be put to paper (today, on the computer), to see how they would develop. She is having an absolute ball in writing about Darcy and Elizabeth and is pleased with how things are developing. Her goal is to entertain and touch hearts. Hopefully, with her first rendering 'Darcy Chooses', she achieved that goal and touched your heart also.
More recently, Gianna started looking beyond Pride and Prejudice, with her first foray into Regency Romance generally, with The Four Lords’ Saga Series.
Gianna Thomas is a ghostwriter of poetry and e-books who became a widow after twenty-two years with her very own Mr. Darcy, who was her second husband. She lives a quiet life in a small Illinois town with her cats and loves to read regency romance, Jane Austen’s works and the many variations done by other lovers of Pride and Prejudice.

DNFd this book as I couldn't stand the constant head-hopping and telling the reader things none of the characters could possibly have known.

The Four Lords Saga by Gianna Thomas
This tale, set in Regency England, is in fact four stories in one. It chronicles the lives of four handsome twenty-something debauched lords living a life of alcohol, gambling, and seduction of anything in a skirt. They while away their time at their London club not caring for their futures beyond which lady they next intend to lure into their beds, while mocking the “leg-shackled” fools who prefer family life – including their own parents and families.
And then … we follow one after the other as they meet the women who will change their viewpoints and their lives as they fall in love, marry, and start families of their own. And their growing understanding of what life, and family, are really all about.
Because of their reputations as degenerates, the lords often have some difficulty integrating back into polite society, so their lives are not so easily transformed. They in fact have to prove themselves worthy of their lady loves. How they manage this is often painful and often amusing.
I greatly enjoyed seeing how each man is “tamed” by the love of a good woman. It may sound trite, but let’s face it: the romantic in us loves the challenge and its ultimate success! Who amongst us has not fantasized about being the lady who turns a bad boy into a good man? Each lord’s story is intertwined with the others, and although you could probably read them as separate books I believe it would be more enjoyable to read the collection all together.
What I liked best: The skillful interweaving of each story into the next and subsequent stories. One plot line begun in the first story reaches its resolution in the fourth story. By using the device of repeating the end of one story into the beginning of the next, the author allows the reader to in fact enjoy each story separately if they choose. As I much preferred to read the whole saga at one time, I found the repetition of certain salient events helpful as both a foreshadowing of what was to come as well as a reminder of what had already occurred.
The horses. Most of the characters shared an interest in horses, and I really liked all of the “horse talk.” Hey, what girl doesn’t love horses?!
What I liked least: I’m sorry to say that I did not care for the story of the fourth lord at all. I could not muster any sympathy for the characters; I found them to be quite prickly. I did not care for their situations either, and had a difficult time suspending disbelief about many of them. Perhaps people do respond to childhood trauma as described, and their loved ones in turn do respond to them as described, but I just couldn’t buy it. Too bad; I really liked the stories of the first three lords. Except for the resolution described above, I would have been happy for the saga to end after the third lord’s story.
For this reason, I give the saga four stars out of five.
In short: There is in fact Regency life outside of Jane Austen Fan Fiction, and it’s very satisfying to have tasted a bit beyond that particular genre. Not that I’ll be abandoning the genre, but this saga has convinced me to take another chance to step outside it again.
Be warned that there are a great many sexual situations in this story; no explicit sexual encounters but plenty of suggestive “almosts.”

'Regency Romance: The Four Lords' Saga: Complete' by Gianna Thomas. If you love Historical Romances than this is the book for you! You get the total series of 'The Four Lords" by Ms. Thomas. I like that they are together and it totals in about 500 pages worth of reading! Books like this I like to keep when I am in need of a Historical Romance fix with true historical romance roots. I also find these books are good for when you just want to make a quick read during your day since they are easy reads. Each story is somewhat different but connected all the same. I have enjoyed Ms. Thomas writing before and so happy to have the chance to read these also! I think you will enjoy them too. "My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read."
