Lauren writes steamy historical romance on her own and sweet/clean historical romance with her daughter, Devon Royal.

Ratings and reviews

Lauren Royal takes you back to a time when rules are made to be broken. This story echos of "Emma", with a matchmaker you cant help but fall in love with, and a Doc you so want to have private lessons from.

Impatience with ridiculous bs complications. But easy to turn over and go to sleep without other things on my mind. Appreciated the minimumof gory sexual detail though

I suspected it would be more like the first book, but I was wrong. Beautiful story.

About the author

I decided to become a writer in the third grade (or, as my Canadian friends call it, grade three), after winning a "Why My Mother is the Greatest" essay contest and having my entry published in a major newspaper. Seeing my words in print was a thrill! But everyone told me it's too hard for novelists to get published, so after college I spent fourteen years as the CEO of my own jewelry store chain before writing my first book. A mistake? Maybe...but my first heroine, Amethyst, was a jeweler, so at least I took advantage of that wise old saying, "Write what you know." And I learned a good lesson: Don't let other people tell you what you can or can't do!

I write humorous historical romance mostly set in England and Scotland in the 17th and 19th centuries (Restoration and Regency periods). I've been oh-so-lucky to see my books hit bestseller lists all over the world, including the New York Times and USA Today lists, making this second career a real dream come true. I live in Southern California with my family and a constantly shedding cat, and I still think my mother is the greatest!
