“December, with its short days packed with end-of-the-year excitement, might be the month best suited to the romance novella — the perfect length for the rare hour or two of free time. Meredith Duran’s Sweetest Regret (Simon & Schuster) tells the brief but captivating story of Georgiana Trent, daughter to a Victorian-era diplomat, and Lucas Godwin, the man who broke her heart two years earlier. This is a romance full of longing and nostalgia that is also a compelling mystery. At a Christmas house party, Georgie and Lucas must work together to find a letter that’s been stolen from Georgie’s father, a task that helps rekindle their past love. Victorian England created most of the holiday traditions celebrated around Christmas, and Duran makes use of them, peppering the book with trees and carols and games and mistletoe, the latter making quality opportunities for smooching.
THE RESULT IS A DELICIOUS MORSEL OF A ROMANCE — LITERARY SHORTBREAD. OR FIGGY PUDDING, IF THAT’S MORE YOUR STYLE.” —Washington Post Review for Sweetest Regret, “Sarah MacLean picks the best romance novels of the month,” November 29, 2016
Additional Praise for the Rules for the Reckless series:
“This flawless novel in the Rules for the Reckless series, set in 1886 London, pivots seamlessly to Catherine Everleigh and Nick O’Shea, lively characters who won readers’ hearts in Lady Be Good…These intelligent, multilayered characters embody the best aspects of this wonderfully indulgent series.”
—Publishers Weekly (STARRED REVIEW, Luck Be A Lady)
“Hot on the heels of Lady Be Good comes Catherine Everleigh’s story, and readers know they’ll be in for a fun, sexy and poignant roller coaster ride. Well-paced, simmering with sexual tension and peopled with memorable characters, this is a love story to be savored.”
—RT, TOP PICK HOT REVIEW (Luck Be A Lady)
“Love transcends the limits of wealth and social rank in the smart, likable third Rules for the Reckless historical…Duran gives her characters depth: Christian grapples with his desire for revenge and anxiety over unexpectedly becoming his father’s heir, and Lilah is a pawn who fears exposure and ruin. Readers will especially look forward to Catherine finding her own romance in a future installment.”
—Publishers Weekly (Lady Be Good)
