Can a former rake be tamed to monogamy and marriage?

Heather Boyd - Distinguished Rogues



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 humour 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 change.  Heather Boyd, however, finds a way of surprising with each following book, each novel has an original storyline with characters that in no way represent the previous heroines.  Every book is a fresh read and brings enjoyment to the reader.

At the time of publishing, there were nine books in the series and two box sets for books 1-3 and books 4-6.  They can be found on Heather's website here.

If you know the words 'Please sir may I have some more, you also know who said it and which book.  Oliver Twist, to some, is the best known of Charles Dickens' books.  Yes, A Tale of two cities and Great Expectations are also well known but did not honour being made into a Disney Animated Film or a musical. As with many books, the title character is not always the one that people end up liking.  In the case of Oliver Twist , the Artful Dodger is the character that steals the show and how appropriate for Terry Pratchett to take this lovable character and give him the Pratchett makeover. Those of us who have read the Discworld novels and novels such as Nation  know that anything is possible once Pratchett has taken a character into his world.  For some, it might be disappointing to realize that there was nothing magical in Dodger .  That is to say nothing magical as in the Discworld novels. Knowing who Dodger is and knowing the brilli...
