Ahhh a new Suzanne Allain just dropped!

I LOVED The Wrong Lady Meets Lord Right! It is so cute, fast paced and funny!! You could def finish this in one sitting.

We are basically following two cousins, who happen to switch identities during the season. Issie's mother recently passed away, so her and Bella are invited to travel to London to stay with Issie's Aunt (mom's sister). Issie is higher born so she is expected to have her debut season and attend balls and such. Bella is her cousin through their fathers, but Bella is technically "lower born" so she is seen as a "poor familiar" to Issie's aunt. Issie basically has terrible social anxiety since she's been hiding out in her country estate with no one to listen to since both her parents have past, and she begs Bella to take her place since her own aunt keeps confusing them anyways so no one would even know....right??

I adored the bond Issie and Bella have, and loved all the supporting characters as well (aside from Issie's aunt of course).

Suzanne Allain is such a great Historical Romance novelist and I will read anything she releases.

I received a free copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group ; all opinions expressed are exclusively my own.

I read a good deal of historical fiction, particularly romances, and this was a lovely example of the genre. The main characters are fun as is the premise, and while the plot doesn't really throw too many surprises your way (one twist that is pretty well foreshadowed), in this case I think the book is better for it. Frankly, if you want a very slightly spicier Jane Austen (VERY SLIGHTLY) with less social satire, I think this book would fit the bill!

For sensitive readers, this book contains references to neglect, abusive parenting, and anxiety/panic disorders.

Truly a story for booklovers, THE WRONG LADY MEETS LORD RIGHT is warm, witty, and oh so romantic. Suzanne Allain’s writing sparkles with humor, and the historical atmosphere is top notch. A perfect novel for fans of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer!

I dearly love to laugh and Allain has a talent for comedy like few others. Combined with her knowledge of Regency period and the very clever plot, THE WRONG LADY MEETS LORD RIGHT was a 5 STAR read for me.

Oh! How I enjoyed this one! When two young cousins, Arabella and Isabelle, trade places, it makes for a fun, sweet romance for each. Newly orphaned Isabelle is titled, but an introverted bookworm at heart. When an elderly aunt forces her to come to London for a coming out season,  she trades places with her lesser born cousin Arabella. What begins as a lark for Issie to avoid the anxiety of court presentation, turns into a season long ruse for both girls. Bella attracts the attention of Lord Brooke, who met Issie once before briefly, and he can't believe how the shy girl from five years ago has transformed into the sensation of season. Bella wonders how much longer she can deceive this handsome lord she's falling for.
I loved the sisterly dynamics between Issie and Bella. There were no hints of jealously or guile. The supporting characters provided comedic moments that made me laugh. There was a great surprise plot twist, that was just perfect. As with every good love story, there are a few angst filled bumps along the way. I absolutely enjoyed every page of this one! In a world gone crazy with racy Regency romances, there are few authors that echo the sensibilities of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer. Refreshingly, Suzanne Allain carries on their footsteps, and for this reason, she is a must buy author for me.

Thank you for the e-book for this one! I was able to read this in one evening. The pacing from start to finish was fast and it was a very fun and easy read. It totally had Jane Austen vibes (more from the Pride and Prejudice movie but more lighthearted/humorous). I really enjoyed the two main characters Bella and Issie. I related to both in different ways. I completely shipped Issie with her love interest. I do feel Bella and her love interest fell a teeny tiny bit flat for me. I still rooted for them but for some reason I didn't connect as deeply to them as I did the other couple. This is a really fun read, and I recommend it to all the Jane Austen/Bridgerton fans. I will definitely continue to read this author's work!

This is a fun and clean historical romcom, perfect for anyone who loves Jane Austen or Bronte sisters, while I did not love it, I did find it entertaining and the characters fun - Lord Brooke! - and the best friend Catherine was very annoying, to say the least. And flirty! You'll love the chemistry between Arabella and Brooke, which is always a must in any romance!
Bella is put in the place of her cousin to make the debut before the queen for the season. Sounds easy for Bella, until she meets Lord Brooke, a dashing irresistible man Bella cannot help but feel desire for. Brooke finds Bella lovely and sweet, and the chemistry is definitely there. Only problem? Bella isn't the woman she is supposed to be...
There is a lot of love and strong bonds between the women which is comforting to see and despite the many misunderstandings and twists, I adore how Arabella and Brooke work together and manage to have fun and enjoy being in love. This was my first book by the author, and I look forward to reading her other books.

Suzanne Allain’s *The Wrong Lady Meets Lord Right* is a delightful Regency romance that effortlessly combines wit, charm, and a touch of delightful absurdity. Set in a world where mistaken identities and social mishaps abound, the novel follows Miss Anne, who, due to a humorous mix-up, is mistaken for a mere companion rather than a lady of means. Enter Lord Julian, who finds himself irresistibly drawn into a whirlwind of misunderstandings and romantic entanglements.

Allain’s writing sparkles with playful banter and clever dialogue, making for a read that is both entertaining and engaging. The chemistry between Anne and Julian is wonderfully executed, with their interactions providing both warmth and humor. The setting is lush and vividly portrayed, adding to the overall charm of the story.

While the plot may tread familiar ground, the characters are endearing and well-developed, and the narrative’s lighthearted tone makes for a satisfying escape. The resolution, though predictable, feels rewarding and true to the spirit of the genre.

In summary, *The Wrong Lady Meets Lord Right* is a charming and enjoyable read that will appeal to fans of Regency romance. It delivers a perfect blend of humor and heart, making it a lovely choice for a cozy, feel-good escape.

This book was definitely pretty different from most popular regency romance novels.

There was not a smidge of impropriety, which was honestly a breath of fresh air. The main girl was a perfectly average debutante—with the usual interests and intellect expected of the time. She spends time with men in an extremely appropriate manner. Lord Brooke was also such a normal and respectable gentleman throughout.

The fun of this book came from the sister-switch shenanigans rather than the romance. The ending was delightful and deeply whimsical.

I freaking hated her best friend Catherine. Was hoping she was a villain. Too many characters in this book were deeply annoying like her. If I had lived back then, I would’ve poisoned them in their sleep.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC.

This was such a delight to read! The perfect blend of wit, romance, and humor.

One of the strengths of this novel is Suzanne’s ability to create well-rounded, relatable characters. The way she describes the characters really brought them to life for me. I felt like I really got to know them, each with their unique personalities and backgrounds. It added a wonderful variety to the story, and I was rooting for their happily ever after!

The misunderstandings and mistaken identities added a layer of complexity to the plot, keeping me entertained and eagerly turning the pages. I was surprisingly pleased with the plot twists—things I did not expect at all.

This is a perfect pick for anyone looking for a lighthearted, romantic escape with a touch of humor. Readers are sure to leave with a smile on their faces and a warm feeling in their hearts.

I loved it!

Have you wanted to read a clean historical romcom? This book may just hit the spot for you! It's a Regency Era story with humor galore but no spice. There are some swoony kisses though!

I enjoy a story of mistaken identity, and this one delivered! There were some unexpected twists that I really enjoyed. The writing was fast paced and a little different that many other authors that I have read recently. I would be interested in hearing this as an audiobook if/when it is released. I think the author wrote the way my sister talks!

Deepest thanks to Berkley and Netgalley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book. I am happily leaving an honest review.

I was iffy going into this read, because you never know how mistake identity is going to go in a story. I was hooked right off the start from the first couple of paragraphs and the book never let me go from there. I honestly enjoyed the banter, the crazy situations, the true bond of female relatives, and the all over feelings in this book.

I feel that this will be a top comfort read that I will go back to, just because I am not ready to say goodbye to Issie, Bella, Dr. Jordan, or Lord Brooke just yet. This book is a wonderful fun, cozy, enjoyable novel that is perfect for a weekend, or rainy night read.

I've never read a book so fast! I love my historical romances, whether by Austen, the Brontës, or contemporary romance writers, but I rarely feel completely satisfied with the latter. This book was all charm and humor while still capturing all the complexities of the era including its glaring class and gender issues. The romance was exactly the brand I'm always chasing—full of longing, a question mark until the very end despite expecting (optimistically) a happily ever after. The story had all of the tension that you might expect from an identity swap storyline and the resulting lies Arabella and Isabelle must to tell to fool London society, but what I loved most was how fun it was while still feeling historically immersive, engaging, and accurate!

Thank you so much to NetGalley, Berkley, and the author for my advanced copy!

This was an enjoyable read. You can tell just how much extra research was done in this book and I feel the authors writing just continues to improve. Some moments I found to have a flirtier overtone and I didn’t hate it. Always enjoy a bit of fun.

A delightful Regency-era romance that is both charming and entertaining. The writing style captures the period's elegance while delivering a fun and engaging story. The characters are endearing, and their witty banter adds a delightful touch. A thoroughly enjoyable read from start to finish.

This book had me rolling from the first sentence. The book was so well written I felt like I was there in the ballroom with the characters. Sooo good.
Issie and Bella are cousins and when Issie’s mother dies they stay to morn at Issie’s home. However a relative of Issie is insistent that she come and have her debut in London. Issie however doesn’t feel well about this, she is very anxious and she asks Bella to go do one outing as her. And from here the story rolls. Some of the situations that Bella finds her self in are so funny. For me the funniest point of the story happens in a ballroom with a button and I couldn’t stop laughing.
This book has it all romance friends ship laughter and found family. Loved this book!!!!
I am so happy I had already pre-ordered this book.
Thank you to NetGalley and Berkeley publishing Group for the ARC!!

Today I’m reviewing The Wrong Lady Meets the Right Lord by Suzanne Allain. In this historical romance, we follow two cousins, Arabella Grant and her noble cousin Isabelle. With Isabelle’s horrible mother in the grave, both girls find themselves in an inescapable situation, with Arabella nearly penniless and Isabelle, as sickly as she is, not ready to make her debut to the ton. Since both girls look slightly alike, they fool the ton, and Isabelle’s relatives (at least her great-aunt) by trading places. Little did either young lady expect the consequences of their actions, and how they could find happiness in the most unlikely of places.

I’ve found myself a new favorite author when it comes to regency-era romance, book friends! This was such a delightful book. I loved the ruse of trading places, and watching Arabella take the spotlight, becoming the belle of the season and ensnaring the irresistible Lord Brooke.

This was a quick and fun read, with moments that were laugh out loud delightful (the opening in particular, where Arabella and Lord Brooke meet, was a treat). If you like your romance novels tame, and a few unexpected plot twists, The Wrong Lady Meets The Right Lord is a romp of a novel that will enchant romance readers from start to finish.

A captivating historical romance that swept me off my feet! Rich in detail, compelling characters, and a love story that will linger long after the last page. A definite 5-star read!

I was a little wary of this premise, because I wasn't sure if I could get behind the lie. But, it turns out I could. Despite the artless naivete of their actions, Bella does pause to fully examine her reasons for agreeing to the deception and also considers the consequences. In the end, she concludes that the lie is worth living and, honestly, I like a character who seizes opportunity with eyes wide open like that. When viewed from her perspective within immovable class constructs, I might do the same.

The relationship between Bella and Issie is particularly well done. It's always nice to see two close female relatives not be in competition with one another and just have each other's best interests at heart. I liked Dr. Jordan and Lord Brooke, the girls' respective love interests, and I was glad that the imposter plot didn't unfold entirely as predicted. (Although, I did basically cry for poor, sensitive Issie when the deception backfired on her first.)

Another quick and glittering ensemble Regency romance!
