Her Passionate Duke - by Arietta Richmond
A Lady with limited prospects, and an unwanted suitor, a Duke with secret responsibilities, and a passion for protecting the poor, an enemy who plots to kill, an act of unexpected heroism, love found amidst the chaos.
When Love is a Gamble - by Regina Darcy
Miss Arabella Cavendish is determined to seek restitution from the Earl of Winchester for bringing ruin to her family. Never would she have imagined that her quest would lead her to commit the biggest mistake of her life. Now she finds herself inevitably entangled with the Earl himself. A man rumoured to be ruthless in bed and out of it. Armed with only her virtue and her indignation will she be able to get the Earl to gamble on love?
The Duke and the Traveller- by Lydia Pembroke
Harold Egerton, the Duke of Salshire, has chosen to take some time for himself, away from the exigencies of his position. It is a decision which will change his life, in a most unexpected manner. Miss Charity Agar is a traveller - a gypsy, in the common parlance - but unlike most of her people, she longs for more than a life on the road. When a chance meeting leads to the unexpected kindness of a stranger, she is intrigued by the man who chose to help her, rather than turn her away. She seizes the opportunity to learn from Mr Brown, full of hope for her future. But when another traveller band arrives with some startling news, will she choose the man she is coming to love, even if he is not who he presented himself to be, or her people?
Falling for the Viscount - by Sophia Wilson
When Miss Emma Moore’s beloved father dies unexpectedly, her family is left in turmoil as her father’s heir, a distant relative, arrives to take over the property. The only home Emma has ever known now belongs to a stranger. William Barrington, injured in the wars, and living a quiet life, has unexpectedly inherited the title of Viscount of Clarkston and is surprised to find the late Viscount’s widow and four daughters still residing at the estate. When Lady Clarkston suggests a marriage between the Viscount and one of her daughters, he reluctantly agrees. But when his betrothed leaves him at the altar, the Viscount’s life unravels. He knows that no woman will ever love a cripple. Emma, shocked by her sister’s actions, knows that she must do the unthinkable to save her family from being cast out of their home. Life with a cold-hearted Viscount for a husband soon becomes her reality. But… is he really so cold? Can Emma come to love him? And if she does, will he find it in himself to love her in return?

💖💖ONE THRILLING BUNDLE 💖💖
Splendid! Arietta delivers with this incredible little bundle, laying out all the spills, chills and debacles, weaving rash actions, embarrassment, misgivings and heart-melting revelations, wrapping this baby up sleek, shiny and tight. A whirlwind chocked-full startling mishaps and baffling circumstances, locking down the intimidating trials and pulse racing tribulations, witnessing the shocking twists and stunning turns, propelling this jewel to a whole new level. Bound, wound and tightly banded, displaying the soaring ups and agonizing downs, breathtaking in it's simplicity and impressive in it's depth, putting our characters through their paces. Lines blur and boundaries crossed, limitations are amplified and negotiated, booting this baby forward, shifting it into overdrive, slamming it into a tailspin with an astonishing culmination. The characters, interactions and charged atmosphere along with relatable qualities and individual traits adding depth and diversity, transforming into genuine charismatic personalities. The scenes are abundantly descriptive with colorful details that blend and flow, creating a majestic backdrop that's so rich and lively it feels like you can just reach out and touch it. Remarkable job Arietta, thanks for sharing this fabulous little bundle with us.

This is a collection of four sweet, clean regency romances. Her Passionate Duke is mainly about Lady Linnet and her suitors, Lord Theodore (her mother's choice) and Lord Jeremy (a rake and a rogue); but it is also about her best friend Lady Caroline and her suitors, Lord Brandon (her betrothed who is on a long trip) and Monsieur Fournier (French ambassador).
The Duke and the Traveller are next and it is the story of Miss Charity Agar, a gypsy and Miles Brown(?) who may or may not be a trader with a long boat. It includes a masquerade, a kidnapping and a robbery plot.
Next is When Love is a Gamble about Arabella Cavendish who confronts Lord Edmund Forrester with a gun demanding that he return her father's money and then they are forced into marrying each other. Lastly is the story Falling for the Viscount which is about Miss Emma Moore, her three sisters, their mother and the new Viscount that has inherited their estate upon the old lord's death and how a marriage is arranged so that they may all remain in their home. It includes a betrayal an unlikely match.
I recommend these stories for when you want a nice, relaxing read to help you unwind. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Four wonderful tales of Regency romance, with a common theme running through them. Each book is unique in its own way and the authors have done a wonderful job keeping our interest from start to finish. This collection is one I will be recommending to my family and friends. My favourite is “Her Passionate Duke” by Arietta Richmond. This is a delightful Regency romance with a twist of mystery & treason thrown in for good measure! My attention was caught from the beginning of the book and I found it extremely difficult to put it down. Linnet’s reaction to the cat was very realistic and I felt extremely sorry for her situation. Jeremy is a man with many secrets and a matchmaking mother. This adorable couple are just meant for each other. It was wonderful to see Linnet begin to stand up for herself as the book progressed. I enjoyed the outcome of the final incident at the Grantsham’s Ball.
The other books in this collection “When Love is a Gamble” by Regina Darcy; “The Duke & the Traveller” by Lydia Pembroke and “Falling for the Viscount” by Sophia Wilson are all great books and well worth reading.

Her passionate duke- Arietta Richmond
I really enjoyed this standalone regency romance. There was a hint of suspense and I loved the applicable nature of the words on caring for the orphans and the use of the Bible. It was a fun novella read.
The duke and the traveler- Lydia pembroke
An enjoyable incógnito gentleman and gypsy slow burn romance. I liked the glimpses into the Romani and watching these two characters develop.
When Love is a gamble- Regina Darcy
A short regency with air of spirit. My only complaint is I wish it was longer - especially the resolution. I enjoyed the characters and their predicaments.
Falling for the viscount- Sophia Wilson
I really enjoyed this novella and its characters. Internal struggles of worth and a family emphasis
I received a complimentary copy of this boxset and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

A sweet collection!
These authors have used their talent to create a collection of four beautiful romances. All of the stories were well written with attention paid to staying true to the period. There were the misunderstandings that always seem to accompany romance stories, no one ever said the course of true love runs smoothly, but they always led to the happy-ever-after ending that you expect in a love story. I received a free copy, but my review is honest and voluntary. Overall, I found the compilation very pleasing and thoroughly enjoyable.
