BOOK DESCRIPTION
My publisher invited me to attend an all-expenses paid writing retreat at the posh new Hartfield Regency Resort in Loveland, Colorado. Carole isn't nice like that—there must be a catch.
There is. His name is Ryder Hawk, the outlaw leader of the all-male Western writers who work for the same publishing company. He thinks he’s agreed to attend an all-expenses-paid week at a dude ranch.
Yeah, no. Carole has other ideas. She wants to break into the cowboy romance market. If I want to renew my writing contract, I have to do more than put up with Ryder and his gang of cowboy cronies for a week. We have to write together.
The problem is, Ryder and I have a history.
And it’s more like war than peace.

“You don't have to be an Austen fan to love this series!…If you're looking for a clean, well-written book with some truly laugh out loud moments, grab this one today!”— Lorie AH, Amazon, on Matchmaking Therapy
5 STARS “The romantic chemistry was off the charts with these two and the flirting was on another level!”— Ashley Johnson, Bringing Up Books
Regency Therapy by Lisa H. Catmull might be the
flirtiest book ever. Do not read it unless you are in the mood for all the
romance. I enjoyed the sharp banter between Ryder and Lucy. Like the Jane Austen
inspired setting, the phrases had a smart wit that felt Austenesque. The snappy
flirtation held my attention from the beginning and introduced me to the term “bickerflirting”
which aptly described Lucy and Ryder’s communication, especially in the early
part of their relationship.
Aside from the flirting, Regency Therapy held good romantic
tension while staying in the swoony-but-wholesome category. The story was extremely
enjoyable as the writers interacted and competed to secure book contracts. I
found the big climax a bit confusing (as did Lucy, who is the first-person POV narrator).
What actually happened was explained later. Still, Lucy and Ryder eventually
find their way to the expected happily-ever-after which made me close the book
with a smile in my heart.
Regency Therapy by Lisa H. Catmull is the first
full-length novel in The Jane Austen Vacation Club series and worked fine as a
standalone story. I read the prequel novella, Matchmaking Therapy, which
detailed how the Hartfield Regency Resort came to be, but the prequel is not
necessary to read prior to Regency Therapy. I enjoyed so much about Regency
Therapy, including aspects I did not have space to discuss here. I look
forward to reading the next installment in this series. Four Stars.
