Praise for Jane Ashford's Regency Romance:
"Marvelous...the perfect blend of interesting, emotionally complex, and open-hearted protagonists." --Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW for Married to a Perfect Stranger
"Ashford soars to new heights of literary excellence by creating a cleverly conceived story that takes all the traditional elements readers love in Regency romances and making everything seem refreshingly new. Throw in Ashford's gift for creating intriguingly different characters and her dry sense of humor, and you have a romance worth cherishing. "--Booklist for What the Duke Doesn't Know
"Ashford charms readers with an original love story with a fresh and feminist twist: a heroine who can rescue herself when there's a hero around who's willing to save her."--RT Book Reviews for Nothing Like a Duke
