5.0 out of 5 stars Love At First Sight - Twice
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2020

They met six years ago at a masquerade and fell in love at first sight. The meeting they arranged didn’t work out, and they can’t contact each other. Why? Neither of them knows the other’s name. When Rory rescues Fiona from a coach accident, they recognize each other. Will being together at the house party give them a second chance? Things look good until Fiona learns that Rory is now the Earl of Charlton, the head of a family that her father counted an enemy. Why is there such animosity between the families? Will the answer tear them apart?

This fast-paced story is filled with emotion, drama, secrets. There are also some lighthearted and romantic moments between Rory and Fiona. Getting to know these two delightful people made me root for their happily ever after. Wrapped up in the sweet love story and discovering what caused the trouble between the families, I could not put this book down. There are several interesting side stories (other stories in the series?). I enjoyed this one and happily recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Light hearted steamy regency novel
Reviewed in India on June 29, 2020

3.5 stars. This is the first time I am reading author's work. There are few typos here and there. This is a light hearted steamy regency novel. The books has everything romance, sex and angst yet it seemed somehow rushed to me. This is regency era, we have heroine who does not have maid she shares with Lady Mary for marriage party. During Regency era, unmarried ladies had maids.
Coming to the story, it was love at first sight and a small misunderstanding keeps them apart. Years later they meet during her carriage accident. They get second chance and we have all the past and secrets revealed moving towards HEA. Though good, somewhere in between, I was getting bored and felt the book rushed.
Overall time pass read

5.0 out of 5 stars An uplifting tale that seemlessly blends heart & tear inducing sadness with DeLand's delightful signature touch of whimsy!!!

Lady Fiona's Tall, Dark Folly is a well written, immeasurably fun, fast-paced read. It will have you brimming with smiles, sighing at Rory's chivalry, in awe of Fiona's resilience and strength, reduced to tears as hidden traumatic events, bitterness and pain are revealed and highly intrigued and astounded at the antics of the couple's fellow friends and family members, without once taking the limelight off the besotted pair - only enhancing your enjoyment of the story. Absolutely LOVED it!!!
Fifi (Fiona) hides alot of pain behind a lovable, chipper and witty facade that only highlights her inner foundation of quiet strength and kindness. Whereas the attentive Rory is a highly capable, if emotionally scarred officer (turned Earl), with no tolerance for nonsense or the evasive. Together their allure and attraction is dazzlingly immediate. With a smidge of steam, a whole lot of romantic gallantry to melt the heart, endearingly sweet intimacy and wit and enough insecurities and challenges to make the couple relatable, all makes this story one engaging read that will quite literally capture your heart. Furthermore, the resurfacing of a brutal event and parental torments will quite literally cast a shadow and ruin over the pair's hopes of a happy blissful future together and make you question whether their love will be powerful enough to overcome such past tragedy and bitterness? I must say it was well worth the read to find out!!

Overall, there was always so much going on in this story yet it interlinks and flows beautifully to produce a marvellous setup for a great series and a fun and moving tale in it's own right!! I await the rest of the series with anticipated relish as each relationship, hinted at in this book, promises to be filled with mystery and mischief galore. Alluding at the happy outcome of many a clandestine meeting or endearingly blundering love affair that has blossomed from past histories, instanteous attraction and chemistry.
Book 2 already on preorder; Can't wait to find out what really happened between Mary and Bridges!!

And entertaining but please, please have the manuscript properly edited. There are a number of places where words are missing, as a starting place, otherwise read and escape into another era!

4.0 out of 5 stars A second chance for them

Will they get their second chance at love ...

This novella is the introduction story in a new series, where a group of friends will find their lasting love.
Fiona and Rory missed their chance a few years back when she mistook him for someone else and him did not recognize her after a lovely encounter during a masquerade party.
Now, years later, it is instant recognition. And while life did go on, and there might be many hurdles standing between them, both are very decided to not loose the second chance at love.
At no moment there is doubt about their fast and deep attachment, it is more the past that come between them, one they do not know but weight heavily on their families’ history.
This story is a fast paced one as once they are reunited Rory refuses to let go of Fiona. She is the one woman he wants and nothing will make him sway his opinion. Yet, the shadows from their past is what might daunt their feelings.
I loved Rory, once he is assured his sentiments are returned, he won’t back down, he goes for the win and Fiona’s heart he will win. While he is full of understanding, he also knows who he wants more in his life.
Fiona has learned to hide herself to avoid her family’s wrath, still she longs to be seen and Rory is the first to really see her. She does not want to merely exist, she wants to be and with him, she is.
Their romance is so sweet, one of healing and forgiveness as both carry their father’s deeds.
4.25 stars.

I was granted an advance copy by the author, here is my true and unbiased opinion.
