Reviews for The Viscount's Lady Novelist

The reviews have been coming in for The Viscount’s Lady Novelist, and it has been wonderful to see how well it has been received!




 “What a delightful addition to this series. Readers of proper Regency romance stories are not going to want to miss this!” ~ Melissa

“A great read, and there’s some lovely humour, too, not to mention the world’s worst poet! Five stars.” ~ Pauline

“Once again, Alissa Baxter delivers a delightful Regency with Austen quotes that feel perfectly placed. If a Historical Romance that is by turns light-hearted and serious, featuring a bookish, independent-minded heroine who has sworn off love and marriage, and is intent on saving herself and a scientist/Viscount who needs to marry, and marry well, is your cup of tea - look no further! As with the first Linfield Ladies novel, The Viscount’s Lady Novelist is a sheer delight.” ~ Yvette

“Once again Alissa Baxter has created a story that I found so charming to read.” ~ Keren

“Oh my goodness, this was such sweet and delightful Regency romance. Full of witty banter between both hero and heroine, that I absolutely adored. Alissa Baxter captures your full attention from the first page to the very last. I highly recommend this book to those who love and enjoy well written, clean romance!” ~ Gwendalyn

“This was such a charming Regency romance! It was full of delightful, witty banter, a good dose of humour, a bit of drama, and a few nods to Jane Austen!” ~ Mary

“This book was so sweet! I hadn’t read any of the author’s other works, so I didn’t know what to expect when I first started this novel. However, I was very pleasantly surprised! This book kept a smile on my face the whole time and was so enjoyable. The romance in this novel is probably the closest thing to an Austen romance that I have read in historical fiction.” ~ Isobel Rose

Thanks to all the readers who have left a review of my book. I really appreciate it.

Release Day for The Viscount's Lady Novelist

The Viscount’s Lady Novelist, the second book in my Linfield Ladies series (which can be read as a stand-alone) releases today! Here is the book description:

Harriet Linfield is a lady novelist who has been disillusioned by love. She sets out to write more realistic tales about the emotion when she returns home to Linfield Court for the summer. Vowing to avoid any romantic entanglements along the way, she focuses instead on her writing and her plan to turn the estate she inherited from her uncle into a refuge for orphans.

Oliver, Viscount Wentford, is determined to restore his family fortunes. But his plans for the estate he inherited are in direct opposition to the wishes of Harriet, his new neighbour. Upon meeting her, Oliver is amused when, in response to his provocative comments, she informs him that she intends to make him the villain of her next book. But his amusement swiftly turns to dismay when circumstances align to show him in that exact light.

When an enemy comes back into Harriet’s life, she sees that love isn’t as clear-cut as the romantic tales she pens. But will the viscount manage to discard his villainous mantle to become Harriet’s real-life hero?

The first book in my Linfield Ladies series, The Earl’s Lady Geologist, is on sale for $1.99 until 1 May. 

Product Description

Cassandra Linfield is a lady fossil collector who declares she will never marry as no man will ever take her studies seriously. When circumstances force her to travel to Town for the Season, Cassy infiltrates the hallowed portals of the Geological Society from which she has been banned. She is horrified when she comes face to face with her nemesis, the infuriating Earl of Rothbury.

Lord Rothbury is a gentleman-geologist with a turbulent romantic past. After a youthful disappointment he vows never to fall in love again, and makes the decision, instead, to seek out a convenient wife when he returns to England from his geological travels abroad.

Brought together by their close family ties, Cassy and Rothbury collaborate on a geological paper and discover a powerful attraction. Marriage, however, is the one subject they cannot agree upon. But when Cassy's life is threatened, the two realize that love matters more than their objections.

Reviews

"A charming love story set in the English countryside that's grounded in impeccable research." ~ Kirkus Reviews

"Alissa Baxter's writing is period perfect." ~ Mimi Matthews, USA Today bestselling author of The Matrimonial Advertisement

"This book is gorgeous!" ~ Rachel Burton, author of The Tearoom on the Bay

"A truly traditional Regency romance, with lots of witty banter, very reminiscent of Georgette Heyer. Recommended for anyone who likes a completely clean traditional Regency, with strongly authentic writing, historical accuracy and a satisfying romance. Baxter's writing is excellent, and her dialogue, manners and settings are true to the era." ~ Mary Kingswood, author of traditional Regency romances

"While immersing the reader in the mores and life of the Regency era, Alissa Baxter manages to write strong, independent heroines whom modern-day women will cheer and root for. Plus the addition of little details that wrap around the plot and the characters make reading her books all the more special because you never know when you might land on a little Easter egg morsel in the beautiful and engaging prose. Historicals with heart and engaging characters that read real—that's what you get in Ms Baxter's books." ~ Zee Monodee, USA Today bestselling author
