This old Regency romance from 1986 isn't in the database - it's a pretty regular read with a spunky heroine but didn't get too ridiculous. Set in Brussels just before the Battle of Waterloo, the background was fun and the characters likable. Good for a one-time read, but now in the giveaway box!

TheAromaofBooks @RosesintheOcean - do you seriously want all of these when I'm done?! This one was pretty bland. But it may still be in the giveaway box lol 5y

Not gonna lie, my go-to for fluff reading? Terrible Pride & Prejudice variations. I love how many different ways a similar story can be told. This one was better than many, with realistic problems instead of ridiculous ones. I was a bit disappointed that the author went through the trouble of making Wickham even more despicable than the original, but then didn't have him be the main villain! Still, a fun and easy read.

TheAromaofBooks PS Also a not-steamy version, which is always nice!!

TheAromaofBooks @iread2much - I go through blips in time where literally all I want is brain candy, and P&P variations are my favorite go-to for that. If you're interested, I actually have a blog that is JUST P&P that I've read, because that's how many I've read haha https://mysecretprideandprejudiceaddiction.wordpress.com/ Let me know if you have any favorites!! I'm always on the lookout for more. 5y
janeycanuck Terrible P&P variations are such wonderful delights... I love that you have a whole blog for them!! 5y
TheAromaofBooks @janeycanuck - thank you! I used to be a bit embarrassed, which is why I started a blog separate from my main book blog, but over time I've come to embrace the fact that I just genuinely love them haha 5y
iread2much That‘s awesome! I have a whole collection in my bookcrawler app 😄 5y
TheAromaofBooks @iread2much - they are definitely my comfort-read!! 5y

Don't think I'll get very far with this one this month; too focused elsewhere and I don't read much romance
