A Shop Girl's Guide to Wooing a Lord

“This captivating Regency series kickoff thoughtfully wrestles with class disparities between the leads and doesn’t sugarcoat the hardships of poverty and war…Yet even with these dire subjects, the story is infused with warmth and heart. Tamsin is a headstrong heroine who could use support but ultimately is capable of saving herself and forging her own path toward a better life for her loved ones. Although society views them very differently, she and Garret come to treat each other as equals, both made better through their passionate love. A deeply felt romance with weighty stakes.”—Kirkus

“Galen once again woos and wins historical romance readers’ hearts with the start of her new Regency-set series. From the book’s resourceful and resilient heroine who is perfectly capable of rescuing herself to its hero with a heart of gold, all of Galen’s characters are perfectly on point while history lovers will appreciate the intriguing tidbits about “sweepers” and the automatons of Maillardet.”—Booklist

“Galen (All About Genevieve) gets her Heiress Hunters series off to a strong start with this cross-class Regency…Galen does a good job highlighting Regency inequities while keeping the pages turning with intrigue and a forbidden attraction that is impossible to ignore. Readers will be hooked.”—Publishers Weekly

“Galen’s (All About Genevieve) novel shows a grittier, more realistic version of Regency London than readers typically see in historical romance…While a romance between a feisty, impoverished woman and a member of the upper crust isn’t anything new, Galen gives the trope a particularly good and fresh spin as she launches her “Heiress Hunters” series.”—Library Journal

“Rarely does the genre reveal in such detail the precariousness of life for those who lose their protectors. A sobering reminder of the darkness that too often lurks beyond the glitter enshrouding a favoured elite. Strongly recommended.”—Historical Novel Society

“A fun tale filled with banter and steam.”—Woman’s World
