I wouldn’t necessarily say that Regency era books are my favorite.
But then I read Edenbrooke on the recommendation of a friend and I was so into it.
Since then, more than a decade later, I have kept my eyes open for good. Edenbrooke readers!
Here are some favorites to return to after you’re done Edenbrooke.
Books to binge read after reading Edenbrooke
Lakeshire Park by Megan Walker
I listened to this one and it was a pure delight. Amelia and her sister are faced with abject poverty upon the death of their stepfather and Amelia hopes that before this happens she can secure a marriage between her sister and a wealthy gentleman – Sir Ronald – in whom her sister has shown some interest. Luckily, they get invited to a party at Sir Ronald’s house and it looks like sisterly things. Until Amelia discovers that one of the other guests, Peter Wood, is hoping to help HIS sister make a match with Sir Ronald. And when Amelia discovers a budding attraction to Peter, things will get even more awkward.
In this delightful novel, eighteen-year-old Jerusha, “Judy,” grows up in an orphanage. When a mysterious millionaire starts paying for her college education, she can’t believe her luck! Who was this mysterious gentleman and would Jerusha ever have the chance to meet him?
These are my words by Nancy E. Turner
I read this book YEARS ago after my mother praised it and sent me a copy. She wasn’t wrong: This historical romance is written in diary format (a format I’m not usually interested in but works wonderfully here) and follows Sarah Prine and her family in the Arizona Territories, where almost every bad thing you can imagine happens until they join a wagon train. The leader of the wagon train is Captain Elliot, and Sarah alternately admires and despises him. Of course she does. I loved this book. (Full review here)
Charming a Lady by Joanna Barker
You know those books where you immediately want to spend EVERY WAKENING MOMENT reading that book? This book was it for me! This is the second book in this regency romance series, but it is completely self-contained. While attending a house party, Cora receives strict instructions from her mother to find a husband, but will she pursue a man her mother would approve of, or a long-time crush she has never gotten over.
Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion by Beth Brower
When Emma M. Lion returns home to her London neighborhood, she has only one thing on her mind: repossessing her rightful home from her cousin Archibald. You better believe Archibald isn’t going anywhere without a fight. In true Emma M. Lion fashion, she recounts the ins and outs of her increasingly hilarious and frustrating life. I am completely OBSESSED with this series!
The Luxury of Anna Godbersen
Romance, intrigue and class warfare – what’s not to like? Set at the turn of the 20th century in New York, Luxury begins with the funeral of Elizabeth Holland. She’s the daughter of an upper-class family and it’s supposed to be her wedding day to one of New York’s most eligible bachelors. The book introduces the main characters present at the funeral, then flashes back two weeks to show the events leading up to the funeral. It’s full of twists and turns, big and small, and I loved every second of this story told from the perspective of five characters. Luxury is the first in a series of four and I devoured them all.
Finding Persephone by Sarah M. Eden
This one has everything I love in a romance: it’s faded, Regency-era and has a Beauty and the Beast feel! When a sweet, stubborn heroine marries a grumpy, emotionally scarred duke to save her family, she sets out to melt the ice around his heart. It’s cute and easy to listen to!
When the day comes by Gabrielle Meyer
In this time travel book, Libby is given the gift of falling asleep at one time and waking up at another time without any time having passed. She split her time between 1774 Colonial Williamsburg and 1914 Gilded Age New York City. She lives a very different life in each of them, but there comes a time when she has to make a very important decision about which time period she will stay in forever.
This one is a real pleasure to read. After her father’s death, Ginny is devastated when her prized pocket watch goes missing. When she hires a special investigator, Jack Travers, to help her find the watch, he discovers there’s more going on than just a missing watch. As Ginny and Jack work together, there will of course be romance. It’s a fantastic story with snappy dialogue like you’ll find in Edenbrooke.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
