As a gambler’s daughter, Frances was resigned to spending her life masquerading as a boy, learning how to shoot a pistol and fight with a sword. Constantly moving from town to town, it was far safer than being a girl. But when her father dies suddenly, she must pack her bags and return to England, to search for the family she has never met.
Hoping to find her place at last, the last thing Frances expects is that she will need to continue the masquerade - or risk her life and her heart.
A light-hearted Regency Romance.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I have brown eyes and red hair, some weeks redder than others! The rest is subject to change without notice. I live in Australia with my family and two cats, the cats rule.

After thirty years of working with the unemployed, coping with threats, tears and broken lives (and these were only from fellow staff), I decided it was time to make my escape. And what better place to go than the world of regency romance? I started writing this story years ago, but put it aside due to work and family commitments.

In 2013, I dusted off the foolscap pages stored under my bed, finished the story and turned it into a book. I hope you enjoy reading Regency Masquerade as much as I did while writing it.

Enjoyable read

The plot for this book centred around a girl masquerading as a man and her efforts to find out her true identity as she had been travelling around Europe all of her life with her father.

The tale has many twists and turns and interesting secondary characters, however the leading characters make this book worth while as they have great chemistry in their conversations together and their inner thoughts which are displayed.

Frances and Richard have light hearted scenes together with tastes of witty banter between them.
The writing is quite descriptive in parts, however there could have been better descriptions of the characters to begin with, it is worth a read if you are a fan of Suzanne Enoch' s novels which have humour and suspense.

A gem of a book

Scandal, betrayal, lust and heartbreak – they’re all there.

A gem of a book. Having already read some of Vera Loy’s novels, I reckoned I was in for a treat. I wasn’t wrong. This, in my opinion, is easily her best. I noticed that she received over 6000 downloads recently when Regency Masquerade was featured in a free two-day promotion. This has to be the start of something very big. The plot? I’m not going to give much away but what about this? A beautiful girl virgin, Frances Metcalf, feels forced by circumstances to masquerade as a man. Enter Lord Carleton, a man drawn to Frances as a friend, and the plot begins to thicken, especially as Frances now fancies HIM.

Scandal, betrayal, lust and heartbreak – they’re all there. To give away the ending would be a crime and I ain’t no criminal.

Already read a book very similar so maybe a bit low marking due to it. Written well. Worth a read

Pale imitation of better books

I do think that if authors are going to pinch ideas, names and indeed chunks of dialogue from Georgette Heyer, it would be polite of them to acknowledge the debt. And sometimes - particularly if they aren't very good at writing themselves - it would be a good idea for them to go back to Heyer's books and learn a little more about how to make the implausible feel realistic, how to construct characters we care about, how to be amusing, how - in short - to write a decent Regency romance.

Don't bother with this book - either go straight to Georgette Heyer's Masqueraders or to the brilliantly funny Ridiculous by DL Carter.
