I was taking a break from Regency England when I discovered Laura Lee Guhrke.
These novels are set in the late Victorian to early Edwardian period. Both American Heiresses, and English women are featured. It was a time when the peerage were running out of money because tenant farmers and laborer's were moving off the land and into the factories, where they could make better wages, and foreign produce was cheaper. A new source of capital was needed so American Heiresses, who were barely palatable to the peerage, became a source of new wealth. The daughters of industrialist were sent in droves to England to marry titles, as they were despised by old moneyed New York and Boston. These are romance novels so their trials are barely touched upon , just some disdain and dislike, mostly by the English ladies who felt that they were scooping up all of the eligible bachelors. The stories are highly romantic and quite steamy. If you are looking for a brief escape from the Regency period too give them a try. I'm sure you will like them too.
