I’ve recently had the privilege of reading early copies of a few friend’s Regency, Regency-Inspired, and Victorian era novels, and thought you might want to pre-order some of these for your own reading pleasure!
The Mysteries of Pendowar Hall by Syrie James (Available now)
A Victorian mystery crafted with impressive skill, style, and lovely echoes of Jane Eyre. Conflicting clues, mounting danger, and sweet romantic tension keep the pages turning, all in a wonderfully atmospheric setting—an old house on the coast of Cornwall shrouded in fog and myths. (clean)
A Scheming in Parliament by Erica Vetsch (August 2025)
Isn’t this a great cover?
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! (clean/inspirational)
“This story brims with intrigue, danger, and memorable characters, and is sure to please any Regency lover.” —Michelle Griep, Christy Award–winning author of Of Gold and Shadows
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. (clean/inspirational)
The Rules of Falling For You by Mollie Rushmeyer (September 2025)
The perfect match can’t be far–certainly not at a Regency-themed singles retreat!
Still reading, but this contemporary, Regency-infused Rom-Com is very charming so far. (clean/inspirational)
I’ve also read Michelle Griep’s next Regency, The Bird of Bedford Manor, but no cover yet to show you for that one.
All in all, a lot of great reading ahead!
What upcoming novels are you looking forward to?

I’ve long been a fan of Syrie James and thoroughly enjoyed this book. I’ve read all of the other authors except Mollie Rushmeyer. Thanks for the recommendations!
I’ve had my eye on nearly all of these, Julie. I can’t wait to read Pepper’s, and even though I don’t read much contemporary, I have to admit that I’ve preordered Mollie’s as well. It just looks too cute not to try. 🙂 You’ve intrigued me with The Mysteries of Pendowar Hall. Jane Eyre is my favorite classic novel, so I might need to look into that one. Erica’s books are always great, too. I think you’ve hit my sweet spot with this post. 🙂
I have most of those on my wish list already, but I’ll be adding the rest. I love a good Regency!
The Mysteries of Pendowar Hall looks right up my alley! I’m off to add it to my shopping cart! 🙂
Thank you so much, julie!!!!!
