Learn moreWhen a young woman trades places with her noble cousin, their innocent ruse leads to true love in this sparkling new Regency-era romantic comedy of manners from the author of Mr. Malcolm’s List.
When Arabella Grant’s wicked aunt dies suddenly, both Arabella and her cousin Lady Isabelle cannot help but feel relieved. She’d made their lives miserable, and now Lady Issie is free to read to her heart’s content, and Bella is free from taunts about her ignoble birth.
Their newfound freedom is threatened, however, when Issie’s great-aunt commands her to travel to London for a come-out Issie has never wanted. Issie, who is in poor health, is convinced she’ll drop dead like her mother did if she drops into a curtsy before the queen. So when her great-aunt turns out to be nearsighted and can’t tell the noble Lady Isabelle from her commoner cousin Arabella, Issie convinces Bella to take her place. Bella can attend all the exclusive entertainments that her lower birth would typically exclude her from, and Issie can stay in bed, her nose in a book.
Bella agrees to the scheme for her cousin’s sake, but matters turn complicated when she meets the irresistible Lord Brooke. He begins courting her while under the impression she’s the rich and aristocratic Lady Isabelle, who, unlike Bella, is a suitable bride for an eligible young earl. And Bella, who is convinced that she has met “Lord Right,” worries what will happen when she reveals that he’s actually fallen for…the wrong lady.
Suzanne Allain is a screenwriter who lived in New York and Beijing before returning to her hometown of Tallahassee, Florida, where she lives with her husband.
Reviews
"Truly a story for book lovers, The Wrong Lady Meets Lord Right is warm, witty, and oh so romantic. Suzanne Allain’s writing sparkles with humor, and the historical atmosphere is top notch. A perfect novel for fans of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer!—Mimi Matthews, USA Today bestselling author of The Muse of Maiden Lane
"[D]elightful...fun romantic tension, and the plot moves at a steady clip while taking the time to fully develop its multifaceted heroines. Regency fans will be riveted."
—Publishers Weekly
"Readers looking for a story filled with fully realized, charming and loveable characters and quality escape time folded into a cozy historical romance—one that allows deserving characters their happily-ever-after—as well as fans of Georgette Heyer and Marion Chesney, will readily line up for Allain’s latest.”
—Booklist
"Allain does a wonderful job of crafting characters with heart and strength of character, and the strong sisterly love between the cousins resonates throughout the story. Highly recommended for fans of historical romances, this is a quick, fun read, featuring clever characters."
—Library Journal
"A flirty and cozy romance that’s heavy on laughs."
—Kirkus
"Allows the author to explore a number of issues prevalent in the Regency era: the cruelty of autocratic parents, the psychological effects of insecurity and low self-esteem, the thoughtlessness of privileged males, the unkindness of the class-conscious. Since the primary point of view is that of the kind and sensible Bella, these darker elements are muted by her readiness to see the humour in awkward situations and by the comfort offered by her Cinderella story. Recommended."
—Historical Novel Society
Praise for the novels of Suzanne Allain
“This witty Austen-esque romp...is a sparkling twist on the Regency-era ballroom scenes and misunderstandings that litter historical romance....Allain’s writing is wry and delightful, borrowing skillfully from Austen’s distinctive use of free indirect speech. The book is bursting with witty asides and droll commentary, a tongue-in-cheek discourse designed to have us both laughing with and at the cast of characters. Allain nails the style she’s paying tribute to and the novel is an imminently readable diversion....It’s an amuse-bouche of a story that delights and tantalizes.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“Suzanne Allain delivers a fresh, spirited take on the classic Regency romp. Mr. Malcolm's List is a delightful tale that perfectly illustrates the enduring appeal of the Regency romance. It's all here—the fast, witty banter, the elegant ballrooms, the quirky characters, the charming, strong-willed heroine and the dashing hero who has a thing or two to learn about love.”
—Amanda Quick, New York Times bestselling author
“A merry romp! Mr. Malcolm’s List is packed with action as one tangled romantic misunderstanding follows fast upon another’s heels—to hilarious effect.”
—Mary Balogh, New York Times bestselling author
“Suzanne Allain is a fresh new voice in historical romance. Mr. Malcolm’s List is a charming, light-hearted confection, with humor, sparkling banter and gently simmering romantic tension; in other words, classic Regency romance.”
—Anne Gracie, National Bestselling Author
"This book is sheer perfection. An adorable, hysterical comedy of manners.”
—The Romance Dish
“Miss Lattimore's Letter is an entertaining romp through historical London, with plenty of romance, humor, and banter that make this a worthwhile read.”
—Romance Junkies
“A cheeky look at the different expectations placed on men versus women during the Regency Era, revealing the limitations society accords individuals in terms of their family connections and personal wealth and education. Both general fiction readers and romance fans looking for a story that will transport them to another time and place, seeking new fictional friends, or hoping to watch characters grow more self-aware and compassionate will revel in this smart love story.”
—Booklist (Starred Review)
“Hilarious and fast-paced, Mr. Malcolm's List is a bright and refreshing Regency romp.”
—Shelf Awareness
“It was witty, hilarious, and contained a cast of upbeat, brooding, and feisty characters that all graced the page with subtle Pride and Prejudice undertones. I loved it!”
