Audrey Harrison is an English author of the Inconvenient Trilogy, Spinster, and Lonely Hearts series. She admits that she was born two hundred years too late as she yearns to live in a time when both men and women wore gowns and could float, simper, and sigh. Audrey has always wanted to write from childhood, and her desire to write saw her compiling a full manuscript when she was only 14. But like any other person, work, marriage, and kids got in the way, forcing her to halt her writing career temporarily and later finally found the words and character; hence, her writing career began.
She loves writing about Regency romance, but since the modern characters in her mind constantly ask to be heard, thus she opted to publish “A Very Modern Lord” romance.
The Spinster’s Captain is a novel based on a true story. It’s a story about two people halfway across the world who are determined to remain together on their paths, but as expected, life never goes according to plan. The accomplishment of receiving his first command makes Captain Robert Crawford happy. Despite his reserved demeanor, he is devoted to his ship, and the people who work under him are steadfast and loyal. On the other hand, passengers are problematic, unpredictable, and the scourge of his existence. The other mandate of the shipping company is no different; he must marry as soon as possible. Even his closest friend cannot comprehend why this bothers him so much. How could he if Robert had never shared his past with anyone?
Miss Agnes Dinwiddie is still mourning one year after her father’s passing. As she sees no future for her own in her former country, she accepts her brother’s invitation to work as his domestic in America. She accepts a job as the traveler’s companion, hoping the adventure will be the ideal remedy to soothe her pain and speed up her recovery. She did not anticipate meeting a frustrating, complicated captain.
Trapped on the ship with difficult travelers and a young woman seemingly ready to be testing him at every turn and whom he cannot stop worrying about, Captain Crawford contemplates what he has done to warrant such a test. Undoubtedly, he has never experienced a voyage like this before throughout his career. The Spinster’s Captain is an enticing Victorian romance with abundant wit, action, and emotions. If you enjoy smoldering sensuality, intriguing yet complex characters, and lightning-fast action, this could be your ideal book for Regency and Victorian romance enthusiasts.
The Lonely Lord introduces us to Anthony Russell, whose father, Lord Lever, was a cold man who had distanced himself from everyone else. He married a woman who had no interest in Anthony and wanted him dead, so her kid would inherit. Despite his social awkwardness, he must marry before turning 30 or forfeit his inheritance. He travels to Bath to visit his grandfather, the sole individual who has ever cared for him, in the few weeks before that crucial birthday.
In addition to having a small boy and no money, Julia Price was also abused by her husband, who has since passed away. She moves to Bath to reside with her grandmother. What will the next step be? The hero and heroine in this tale are Anthony, a socially awkward and emotionally stunted peer, and Julia, a wary widow supporting her small boy on her grandmother’s charity. The location is the deserted tourist town of Bath, which is a welcome departure from the more usual London setting.
Anthony’s character is so socially inept that he evokes images of an unfunny, Regency-era Sheldon Cooper. The author has done a fantastic job of creating a fast-paced narrative. In addition, the character development is strong from the start, particularly that of Anthony. What’s more fascinating is that Anthony’s character develops throughout the story. The heroine and supporting characters are well-drawn depictions of people living in an era where rank, prosperity, and status are most important but also aware that the relationships we forge and cultivate are essential.
The primary selling point of this novel is the realism of the characters that are used and the impact of their individual past wounds, and how Audrey Harrison has them overcome their anxieties so that the happily ever after is believable. Overall, this is a delicately handled, dialog-heavy tale of two fine humans who discover love and then put in the effort necessary to make it last forever.
The Complicated Earl is the story of Tom Fulwood. At fifteen, Tom Fulwood, the next Earl of Standish, discovers that marriage can decimate a man, specifically his father. His mother prefers to entertain men in her bedroom, while her husband remains downstairs, unwilling or unable to stop her inappropriate behavior. Tom pledges from that day forward that no woman will ever harm him as his mother did his father. Tom strives for the next seventeen years to establish himself as one of the most infamous rakes in the history of London society, effectively keeping all the women he knows at a distance.
Isabelle Crawford, who was twenty-four years old in 1810, had been raised on tales of how in love her deceased parents had been, and she expected to find a similar level of pleasure when she entered society. In contrast to her expectations, she discovered fortune hunters instead of true love and left London to settle in Bath. Her two older brothers supported her decision, though they would have preferred to see their sister wed instead of making what the ton viewed as an unconventional choice: living alone in Bath alongside a cousin as a chaperone.
A prospective marriage between Isabelle’s brother and Tom’s sister brings the two people together. It sets off a series of events that would result in Isabelle being abducted and Tom struggling for his life, all by the same man Tom had discovered in his mother’s bedroom all those years before. If you enjoy reading books set in Victorian England, you will find Audrey Harrison’s books are perfect read.
