Publisher's Summary

In this enthralling Regency romance by award-winning author Elizabeth Mansfield, a young woman vows not to fall in love with the nobleman who killed her husband.

A dashing stranger sweeps Lady Gwendolyn Rowle onto the dance floor. She is living every woman's fantasy until she discovers who her romantic waltz partner really is: Viscount Andrew Jamison - the man who killed her husband.

From the moment he saw her glide into the ballroom, Drew was captivated by the ravishing beauty. Finding out she is the widow of the blackguard he killed in a duel puts something of a damper on the evening, especially with all of London calling him a cold-blooded villain. To quiet the gossip, Drew devises an ingenious scheme. The only person standing in his way is the lovely Gwen, who has no intention of marrying her husband's murderer. But then she does something far more dangerous: She falls in love with him.

Lovely!

My Lord Murdered is a Regency-era romance novel written by the award-winning Paula Reibel Schwartz under the pen name Elizabeth Mansfield in 1978. This is my first experience reading a Regency-era novel to completion, yes, that even includes Miss Jane Austen. Even though Miss Austen’s books are on my TBR list, I still have not taken the time to read any of her novels. I have watched many movies and television shows set in the Regency-era, but I definitely will read more books now.

I have to say after reading My Lord Murderer as an immersive experience(book+audiobook); I feel like it will be easier to read books set in this era. In the past, I found it difficult to read these types of books because of the language and dialog barrier. They simply sometimes can be very hard to understand. I could follow along with the dialog, and it was a delightful experience. Elizabeth Mansfield did a wonderful job with this story, and it is undeniable that a lot of research went into her writing. She penned over 30 Regency-era romances during her career. As well as a novelist, Ms. Mansfield was also a talented playwright.

The story was a light read. It is tasteful and very witty. It is not at all like the Bridgerton television series on Netflix. True to the time, the characters were everything I expected, and Jane Copland did a wonderful job of bringing this story to life. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
