I am so pleased to have author Juliet Chastain visiting my blog today, with not one, but two tales of forbidden Gypsy love! Can you get more romantic than that? I know I can't wait to hear more. Juliet, welcome!
Greetings, fellow romance readers and
writers. I am in the middle of writing a
series of short stories called Gypsy
Lovers. One has been released and more to come each month. These are sexy 99-cent
novellas, set in the Regency period about Gypsies and the English men and women
love them.
I wanted
to do some stories in which totally inappropriate, culturally, and socially mismatched
men and women find love together. I've always been fascinated by the Romani
people, Gypsies, who for a thousand years traveled around Europe and were very
separate from, and often despised by and even persecuted by, the people among
whom they lived.
In the first book, A Proper Lady's Gypsy Lover, we have
Lady Lucy-Ann who is a hellion. She does not want to be a proper lady although
her relatives require it. What she wants is to roam free and swim and fish and
ride astride. And most of all she wants to be with her childhood sweetheart the
handsome Gypsy, Liberty Wood. Liberty is the caring kind of man who will do
anything for the people he loves, but he's also a gambler, a horse trader, and
an adventurer. Of course, he adores Lucy-Ann but is a totally unsuitable suitor.
In the second book, For Love of a Gypsy Lass, we have a
bored-out-of-his-skull English nobleman, Lord Harry Beresford who has simply
had it with his luxurious and dull existence and the noble and dull ladies he
is supposed to court. He falls hard for an itinerant Gypsy singer called Talaitha
Grey. He assumes she can be easily seduced by his wealth and prestige, but to
his surprise she's not the least bit interested in any of that—although she is,
against her will, attracted to the man behind it all.
Somehow these characters must
find their way to happily ever after—and they do so in unexpected ways.
A Proper
Lady's Gypsy Lover is available at Breathless
Press! | Amazon | All Romance
eBooks and at many e-book stores
For
Love of a Gypsy Lass will be released
soon and available as above
