Actually 3.5 stars. I am not much of a romance book reader, but I did enjoy An Untitled Lady. The author, Nicky Penttila, weaves the history of the early 1820s England into the story well. She blends the characters' individual struggles with real life events (Peterloo Massacre) and comes up with a story worth reading. One of the things I was pleased about is that the story is set in Manchester, and doesn't revolve around the larger, typical "society" that is typically found in stories set in London. Definitely a good choice for someone who likes romance with a little more heft.

****I received this book from the author, Nicky Penttila, in exchange for an honest review.****

Not your typical Regency
An Untitled Lady - Nicky Penttila

A young woman struggles to reconcile a tragic past and an uncertain future in a city on the brink of revolt. 

 

It’s finally here! Available from Musa PublishingAmazon, and etailers everywhere. I’m especially excited to hear your response to this story. People who love history and a little realism along with great romance have been raving about it (also see Goodreads for reviews). I’ve been really impressed (and grateful!) by how many people took the time to write about it there, and saying what they did and didn’t like. That will help other readers decide if it’s right for them.

 

back-cover copy:

 

Shocking family news forces Madeline Wetherby to abandon her plans to marry an earl and settle for upstart Manchester merchant Nash Quinn. When she discovers that her birth father is one of the weavers her husband is putting out of work—and a radical leader—Maddie must decide which family she truly desires, the man of her heart or the people of her blood.

 

An earl’s second son, Nash chose a life of Trade over Society. When protest marches spread across Lancashire, the pressure on him grows. If he can’t make both workers and manufacturers see reason he stands to lose everything: his business, his town, and his marriage.

 

As Manchester simmers under the summer sun, the choices grow more stark for Maddie and Nash: Family or justice. Love or money.

Life or death.
