Hi, Valerie, a Regency romance is one that usually takes place in the
British Isles about the time when Napoleon was reigning in France and making
Great Britain and the rest of Europe nervous. At the same time George III
was apparently mad and his son known as the Prince Regent or "Prinny" was
acting as regent for his father (the time period is from 1800 to about 1820.
If you're reading this sort of novel, you will read about the slang,
manners, fashions, of the time. The upper class is concerned with making a
good match, etc. Georgette Heyer was possibly the first author of Regency
romances. William Makepeace Thackeray wrote Vanity Fair which probably takes
place around this time, but it certainly feels different from a Regency
romance. Prior to this time period are what is called Georgian romances
which take place during the eighteenth century. Heyer wrote those also as
well as Patricia Veryan, etc. Very fun to read if you're fascinated by
history, mores, interesting language, etc. Regards, Kim.

One of my Sierra Jensen by Robin Jones Gunn books slipped in without a
number, but I do not remember which one.
I only scan and proof, but my reading tastes would be in this order:
Religious romance, Historical romance, Romantic intrigue/suspense
I do not know what regency romance is, but it sounds interesting. ;-)

Hi gang,
Question 1. Could you please send me the names of the authors in the
collection whose books are missing series information? I just realized that
the Kay Hooper books are missing their series information. Who else is
there?
Question 2: This is for those people who read romance novels. There's a
volunteer who loves romances, and she asked me which types of romances the
Bookshare members prefer. My opinion is that she should scan the books that
she wants to read, but since she asked me, I'm asking you. Is there a
particular genre of romance novel that you prefer? Or several? Here are some
possible romantic genres. Feel free to add others if you like.
