Why read it?

1 author picked The London Rose as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This Regency romance feels much like a Georgette Heyer book, and I used to devour Heyer’s stories.

Widow Rose Audeley and her grown son are enjoying their quiet country home when a desperate young woman knocks on the door and begs Rose for sanctuary. The story is light and fun, and I loved it. I first read it on Vella, but it’s now available as a Kindle e-book, a paperback, and an audiobook. If you like Regency romance, I recommend Rosanne E. Lortz!
