I’ve had the pleasure of reading (and recommending) some recent and upcoming Georgian, Regency, Regency-Inspired, and Victorian era novels, and thought you might want to consider some of these for your own reading pleasure!

A Worthy Risk by T. Elizabeth Renich (June 24, 2025)

Don’t miss this recent release from my history-loving friend, T. Elizabeth Renich, who never fails to do her historical homework! Romance, family drama, and faith in a captivating novel that moves from England to America.

“A compelling story rich with history, the aftermath of war, betrayal, complicated family bonds, flawed characters, bravery, and love, spanning places in England, Italy, and the New World. I thoroughly enjoyed the story [and] characters. So much great history!” —Jeanne C.

A Scheming in Parliament by Erica Vetsch (August 2025)

Erica is talented, smart, and funny. Have you read her books yet?

“A journey of dark deeds vs. good deeds, filled with hope and humor. Danger and rescue scenes keep the pages turning, while a slow burn romance promises more to come. Readers will be clamoring for the next book in the series!” —Julie Klassen

Sense & Suitability by Pepper Basham (October 2025)

Pepper Basham’s first foray into Regency romance is winner! Well written with poignant moments, humor, and sweet romance between likeable, noble-hearted characters, Sense & Suitability is sure to be a hit with Regency fiction lovers. Better yet? I’ve had a sneak peek at the plot of her next Regency, and it’s another winner!

The Rules of Falling For You by Mollie Rushmeyer (September 2025)

I recently saw Mollie Rushmeyer at our publishing house—on the very day she received her first copy of this upcoming novel. Her book recently earned a starred review from Publishers Weekly as well!

“A charming, contemporary romance set at a Regency-themed singles retreat, with a swoony, reluctant hero and a spunky yet vulnerable heroine. The writing is smart and sassy with humor and touching moments sure to pleasure lovers of rom-coms, Regency romance, or Jane Austen period dramas.” —Julie Klassen

Of Silver and Secrets by Michelle Griep (June 3, 2025)

My friend Michelle Griep has been busy crafting both Victorian and Regency-era novels. That girl can write!

“Of Silver and Secrets is sure to delight fans of archaeological adventure and historical romance.” —Julie Klassen

I’ve also recently read a draft of Michelle Griep’s next Regency, The Bird of Bedford Manor, which releases February 1, 2026, but is available for pre-order now.

“What a great premise! An impoverished gentlewoman poaches game on a handsome gentleman’s estate, and soon finds herself helping him hunt down the menacing stalker tormenting his sister. Danger, intrigue, and romance ensue. Don’t miss The Bird of Bedford Manor by talented author, Michelle Griep.”

Lots of great reading ahead! Have you ordered or pre-ordered any of these yet?

  1. Several of these are on my list of books to read. Thye look so good! I’m particularly looking forward to Pepper and Mollie’s. I love a good laugh along with my romance. 🙂

  2. I have one on my Kindle to read, two pre-ordered, and two at the top of my wishlist–with now another to add! Yay! Thanks for the recommendations!

  3. I read and enjoyed “Of Silver and Secrets” last month. (The publisher had a few goodies for pre-orders). Characters from “Of Gold and Shadows” appear too so it was great to see them.
