Why read it?

1 author picked Training Lady Townsend as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This was the first spicy Regency book I read, and this series and author inspired me to write in this niche subgenre. In fact, Annabel was kind enough to provide a cover quote for my debut novel.

Training Lady Townsend includes all the catnip of a Regency—an arranged marriage, titled lords, the bride’s father laying down the rules for the rake-turned-groom. The layers of how Lady Aurelia and Lord Hunter adapt to marriage include emotional as well as physical learnings, and are expertly balanced in a slightly less traditional telling of a traditional romance.

From Maggie's list on spicy historical romance.
