5 ++ STARS for LORD HALSEY'S TEMPESTUOUS MINX, a tormented lady who falls in love at the very worst time!

Here is N. N. LIGHT's Review:

Inès Bechard will do anything to free her brother from prison. She has escaped the clutches of the French who are after her for duping the French and flown to England. With the help and support of her friends, she creates a new life for herself. She keeps her secrets hidden from even her friends. What she doesn’t anticipate is the allure of Lord Halsey. He seduces her with his words of freedom, his kisses, and love. She resists him. She has to because her loyalty to her brother is everything. The more he continually pokes and prods, the weaker her resolve. Torn in two, she tries to free her brother in secret and stay true to her husband. Can she do both? What happens when she’s forced to make a choice?

Lord Halsey’s Tempestuous Minx is a sumptuous historical romance I couldn’t put down. Cerise DeLand has done it again. She has written an emotional historical romance with subterfuge, high stakes, and characters who’ll become a part of you. The descriptive narration is immersive. The romance is sweeping with plenty of intoxicating moments. What makes this an impossible to put down story are the characters. I connected with Inès on so many levels. She’s an alluring woman who knows how to seduce to get what she needs. Halsey is a charming hero who knows what he wants. He’s quite the persistent man which lends to some fun banter. If you want to be swept away to another time period and fall in love along with the characters. Fans of Joanna Bourne and Stephanie Laurens will want to read Lord Halsey’s Tempestuous Minx.

Romance for the thrills! History for the drama!

 

We read romance for the joy of falling in love. But we read historical romance for the drama of living in different era. 

In my new series, SCARLETT AFFAIRS, I give you sixteen spicy historical romances. Each one will come with a kick of loads of accurate historical detail. The agents of merchant Scarlett Hawthorne will fall in love not only amid actual events, but many will participate and solve mysteries many experts ponder even today.  

Sweeping you first from London to Paris during the years Bonaparte ruled, I am tickled to open the series by a trip down the road to Malmaison and show you the problems of navigating Josephine and Bonaparte’s court. The intrigues of spies, ambassadors, merchants, military men and the women who loved and aided them create a canvas of actual events that shaped the fate of millions. 

Over the years of Bonaparte’s rise and reign, espionage agents of all nationalities tried to stop him. Many failed. 

Like the attempt in LORD ASHLEY’S BEAUTIFUL ALIBI to abduct Bonaparte in June 1800. A few succeeded, like the attempt of the British government to plant agents throughout the Continent during the peace of the Treaty of Amiens. 

Some of these events were documented, like the abduction of the duc d'Enghien. Others still remain mysteries, such as the identity of the mysterious English woman who for decades sent thousands of coded secrets home to London. And the lady who stole documents from Talleyrand in Vienna during the Congress of 1814. 

In SCARLETT AFFAIRS, I take you to those cities that live in our history books—and palaces, churches and streets I have walked. They are places that exude their own charm—and hold for the people of that time secrets and challenges for agents of all countries. 

You will go to the tunnels beneath Compiègne and to the palace where Napoleon took his second wife and within minutes of arrival escorted her to their bedroom. You will go to Reims, where kings were crowned, and enter the caverns of St. Denis in Paris where they were buried. 

You will go to the church in Varennes where gendarmes captured Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette and sent them to Paris to die. You will go to Baden where a greedy German margrave sold out his subjects to Bonaparte for land and money. You will track Bonaparte and his aide Caulaincourt as they race away from Moscow and are tracked by agents all the way to Paris. 

I will also take you to other seemingly insignificant places that really existed. A public bath house, the smelly abattoir of Montmartre, then south to the huge fortress of Amboise and the vineyards of the Loire. To Verdun where the citadel becomes the prison for hundreds of British trapped inside France by the wily new emperor. 

A panoply of stories, the series will be a rich discovery of the challenges of fighting an enemy while falling in love with one irresistible person. I hope you enjoy them all, from this first search for a missing friend, to the action-adventure of saving an entire family from death, to the rewards of stealing Bonaparte’s gold and more. 

Through each story, one man and woman will try to save the world from a despot—and save each other and the love they treasure above all else. I hope you have enjoyed your tour of Paris and northern France in this first novel of the series. Come with me as I take you to those times and places where kings walked, Bonaparte reigned and where espionage agents of my fictitious merchant Scarlett Hawthorne will attempt to topple the little general while they fall delightfully in love.

Want to read my new 1940s romantic slo-burn mystery? Here is a bit of "Sky and Dante"!

She had a singing career to run, a daddy to keep from gambling away his fortune, and friends in New York who should know better than to pester her to go out for coffee! But this tall, dark Italian guy from Mott Street comes up to the East Side to Dad's party one night at the top of the Avalon, she has to sing and this Dante wants to dance!

What's a girl to do? 

 

Titles of romances are getting goofy! What do you think of....

Duchess, Countess, Butler, Duke which is sort of a take off of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy?

Or should that read (because the hero is a duke): Grandma, Auntie, the Duke and I???

Or since my hero, the duke, looked differently than he does now when young, could the title be: The Frog and I?

Yes, I am writing romcoms these days for shorter works. And the title should fit, yes?

Tell me what you think of these!

 

 

No more statements please about HistRom "dead" and no good authors writing it these days!

 Get over yourself and do not ask me that. In fact, do not ask any reader who loves historical romance.

Yes, I can see that the person who asked this has a fave author. Maybe a few.  

So do I. Each one, for different reasons too. One is eloquent and has nifty plots. One writes crisp, clean prose. All observe good rules of historical fiction.

But to ask the general readership if all HistRom is dead because you, the writer of that post or blog, have not discovered an author lately whose work you love? Because you proclaim only those authors who are traditionally published have the goods you desire?

Really? You need to get out more.  Read more widely. Take a chance. Get out of your rut. You have not delved into the wealth of goodies among the indie self-published crowd. You are reading the same plots among certain 'Popular authors' who write with elementary vocabulary or the same plot of 'tropes' which are really 'cliches'.

There is a gold mine of beautiful, elegantly written and accurately posed historical romance everywhere. It is not expensive. It is available for your tablet. It can take you to Rome or Paris, Civil War America or China in the Regency era. And so much more! Yes, there is a lot of it. Yes, at first you may not like it all because you have trained your brain to like only (pick one) a virgin and a rogue, a pirate and another virgin, a debutante who wishes to ruin herself, a broad who loses it hourly and acts like she lives in the 21st century and a man whose virtues begin with the ability to spread her thighs over his dinner table.

But do get out there and discover new writers. New periods. New books. You will no longer assume HistRom is dead, after it brings variety, color, drama and romance into your life.

Because...well, to be honest.... 

We desperately need a citizenry who loves to read. Everything. Often.

 

 

 

Who is your neighbor, sir? The Bourbon heir to the throne? The devil, you say! (He was!)

 

The things you learn writing Regency romance?

Here is the house in London at 72 S. Audley Street where the immigrant and refugee from the TERROR, Bourbon Comte d'Artois, lived just houses away 1805-1814 from my hero and heroine in Lord Halsey's Tempestuous Minx, who reside at 16 S. Audley! 

They should visit, shouldn't they? But only if our hero and heroine like this man.

Truly, most didn't.

Not even the French who had him as their king for 6 years, then revolted again and forced him out. Known as Charles X, this fellow was charming to his friends, but politically he was a reactionary, reversing so many of the changes wrought by the revolutions of 1789, and the various dictates of those rulers who succeeded the monarchy. 

 

Lord Halsey's Tempestuous Minx is coming soon to your tablet!

 

Have you heard the one about the butler who saves his very ditsy employer? He and she have a new look!

Many years on the shelf often mean a new look for a book is a great idea! Here for my romcom series, DELIGHTFUL DOINGS IN DUDLEY CRESCENT, are the first 3 new covers in an expanded 6-book event!

Always a bit of fun, an employer and her servant can get down to it...and here they do.  

Book 1: She's a liar...but he doesn't care! 

 

Book 2: She had him at "hello!"

Book 3: She could run...but from him she could not hide!

Killing historical romance? Who? and why?

 The announcement that Harlequin Historical Romance is ending this line is another blow to the romance industry. Just as mass market books are dying, so too is this line that was a mainstay of the romance market.

True, much of that readership is disappearing. Moving on, statistics tell us, to romantsy and/or video games, young readers want drama and action, a diversion from reality. 

But is the value of historical romance, historical mystery and historical fiction in general debatable?

I say no. In an age where historical fact  and precedent are attacked, any representation of the past that edifies in the most minor way is vital.  And here I add a few photos of mine from research trips, the minutia of which have in one way or another found their way into my novels!

A new housekeeper for Christmas? This man has a problem! Video! Excerpt!

Excerpt, HIS MERRY HOUSEKEEPER, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Copyright Cerise DeLand, 2025.

Tio’s bedroom was very warm when Winn stirred. Realizing she could not sit up and that she was in Bettington’s embrace, she sank back down. From this cozy cocoon, she could see that Tio still slept, his little mouth open, his arms wide. She did not move as the fragrance of lemon and sandalwood permeated her being. Bettington had always smelled of springtime and solidity. She ached to belong to him. Never wished to part from him. 
She burrowed into his strong essence. Suddenly, his fingers were in her hair, pushing back her long tendrils from her cheek and her throat.
“My dearest Winn,” he breathed against her lips, “this is how I have wanted you near me, so close one to the other, united in all we do.”
Her head cradled in the crook of his arm, she did not move but, as once she had last summer, she crossed the distance that separated them and put her lips to his. Once again, she was met, not with his surprise this time, but with his fire and his fierce claim of countless kisses.
She did not stop but went, careless to the consequences, her nails clutching at the heavy silk of his banyan. He sent kisses down her throat, across the exposed expanse of her simple muslin gown. Ignited by his flames, she wanted only his possession.
He cupped her cheek. His sky blue eyes devoured her in a look of love. “Winn, my darling. I want to marry you.”
This could make her life divine. To be his in word and deed would be all she ever asked for in this world. “Sweet man. That cannot be. You are an earl.”
“That is a title granted to a distant man. Who knows if he ever wanted it or was even happy of it.”
She pulled herself to sanity. “Whoever he was, whatever he wanted, you have it as your own. Rules come with that. Rules long standing among your peers.”
His fingers in her hair, he did not look into her eyes. “My days are not consumed with the duties of my title. I live here in London, but the work I have done over the years to manage the land and the tenants is very good. I have ensured the prosperity of my estate. I now have time for politics for bills I know are important to Britain’s integrity.”
She shook her head. Confused. 
“What’s more, I have lived here in London but each time I go to the Grange, I have learned to enjoy my days more than I ever have before. I value you and each moment with you more.”
“Impossible. You do not know me.”
He seized her hand. “But I do. I know you like to read and dance. I know you carry a tune very well. You play the piano with a modicum of accomplishment.”
“Don’t be too kind.” She grimaced at him.
He gave a laugh. “My darling Winn, I know you love your friends, like our Bridgette. I know you love my boys. I know you love children.” A fond light appeared in his large blue eyes. “I want to give you many children.”
Burning with a blush, she tried to rise. 
But he would not let her go. 
“That…that is risqué,” she blurted, but a chuckle escaped.
He grinned. “You see? You want my babies. I know you do. I love you, Winn,” he whispered. “I love your humor and your wit. I love your joy of living. I love your—”
She pushed up and away from him.

LURE was a delight to write because it had a real historical fluke to work with!

 Napoleon ordered an invasion of England’s southern coast in the summer of 1805. Preparing for air, land and sea assault, he had all kinds of weaponry made. Hot air balloons, tunnnel digging machinery and a flotilla of amphibious landing gear similar to what you see in film of D-Day soldiers on flat-bottom boats evacuating into the open waves.

The French emperor had wanted such an invasion for many years. He encouraged his admirals to strike British shipping, naval and commercial. But he was met with defeat many times. 
Bemoaning his admirals’ “whining and delays”, he pushed them into conflicts they could not win. For a show of strength, he assembled 200,000 soldiers of his Grand Army in Boulogne along the Normandy coast and held maneuvers with soldiers shouting and chanting, taunting their enemy across the waves. 
The noise carried across the Channel and sent thousands of English residents fleeing with their possessions.

Against this reality, my latest, LORD CARLISLE’S ENTICING LURE in my SCARLETT AFFAIRS series highlights this threatened invasion—amidst a romance that will thrill you with its charm and torment.

Widow Madame Giselle Laurant has fled France and the police who would throw her in La Force for her arrogance. She has a talent, a rare one. She draws landscapes to scale—and she draws them in such a way that a trained naval expert can make calculations from them.

Giselle is about to finish her set of drawings of English coastal seascapes when she meets a man she cannot resist. Clive Davenport, Marquess of Carlisle, is an advisor to the Foreign Office for naval affairs—and his desire for the lady who draws so well enflames him with a need to make her his. When he discovers that her drawings bear a certain odd characteristic, he questions if Giselle is friend or foe. 

Her drawings tell him she lies. Her kisses declare she truly loves him. Can he find proof she is a French agent? If he has Giselle arrested, can he live with himself? Worse, can he live without her?

I hope you are reading my series, all of which feature hot-to the-touch romantic suspense action-adventure love stories with guaranteed happily-ever-afters.

BEST HISTORICAL ROMANCE OF 2025! Lord Carlisle's Enticing Lure wins!

 

I am so thrilled to win this coveted award!

I hope you read this book, enjoy the romance and the real drama. 

Here is an excerpt!

LORD CARLISLE’S ENTICING LURE, Book 5, Scarlett Affairs
Spicy Historical Romantic Suspense

She’s much too carefree, too lovely, too enchanting to be a spy.
His job is to catch spies. She cannot possibly be one—and he cannot possibly love her!
                       ****
Clive Davenport, the Marquess of Carlisle, does not fall for beautiful women. But when the dark-haired sylph he glimpsed not far from his home last winter reappears on the beach at Brighton, he cannot escape her lure. Swaying in the June breeze, she is the picture of freedom and delight in the summer sun. Then she saves his little girl from the crashing waves of the Channel waters—and constructs kites that dance in his daughter’s hands—and in his heart.

Secretive, she tells him her name is Giselle Laurant, and that she is a French émigré with a work commission she must urgently finish. Employing her special talents as an illustrator, she does not reveal that her renderings of coastal English towns have a special destination. 

So falling in love with dashing Carlisle creates problems. He will not disappear. Nor does she want him to. Her past experience with an abusive husband and French police are bitter. Yet she marvels at Clive’s kisses that are so sweet, and his tender regard so alluring that she allows herself one night of surrender.

But when her foes track her, Clive is determined to save her, no matter her sympathies. No matter that he loves her to distraction.

Because Clive knows love can cure so many heartaches…if those who love have the courage to endure. 

Excerpt, All rights reserved, Copyright, 2025, Cerise DeLand.

Giselle and Carlisle have attended a ball given by friends in the ballroom of the Old  Ship Hotel on the Brighton Beach. She has invited him to come to her in her rooms.

Giselle flew into her rooms, flinging wide the door, anticipation thumping in her heart. She wanted this man. Silly, girlish, daring to want a man she barely knew. But he was kind and honorable. She knew that in her bones.
And he is infatuated with me.
She stood, stark still, her gaze on the square patch of hall carpet and willed him to appear. She closed her eyes and in her enchantment, saw him before her. Tall and sturdy, a bulwark against the winds and misfortunes of life, a magnificent man who appealed to every one of her senses. Silver and gold, indelibly etched on her mind as a jewel of a man.
Yes, she wanted him. He was gentleman enough to care for her reputation. He was enchanted enough to accept her invitation.
And if he doesn’t come?
Sorrow pierced her like an arrow to her chest. Well, then, if he did not come, he was kind enough to ignore her impulsiveness and save her face. They could be friends, if not lovers.
Certainly, there was that.
But in a second, there he was, standing at her door, not crossing unless she would still take him.
Joy flashed through her as she strode forward, her fists clenched on his formal black frockcoat to lead him inside.
He walked toward her, his handsome face that of a boy who asks for nothing in this world but kindness. “If you have changed your mind—”
“Non.” She pulled him toward her. 
He came…like a sleepwalker, but shut the door behind him with a foot to the wood. In the next moment, she was in his arms once more. He had her up against him, her height no issue as he had her up off her feet.
His lips on hers, she clasped him tightly to her. His shoulders, his strength, the silk of his hair through her fingers, all she cared to have.
He carried her to the settee near the fireplace and sat her in his lap. She melted into him, kissing his jaw, undoing his cravat.
He cupped her cheek. “Look at me.”
She shook her head. He’d tell her to stop. Give her some reason to deny what they should be doing here.
“Sweetheart, we—”
She gulped back her sorrow that he’d leave. “You know how to kiss.”
“What?” He laughed.
She brushed her lips on his. “You are so good at kissing.”
He lifted her chin. “Darling, this art takes two. And you know how to kiss.”
“Do I ?” That shocked her. 
His eyes faceted in shades of curiosity and desire. “You know how to thrill me with your lips.”
She sank closer to him.  “I am so very glad.”
“And you deserve to be kissed.”
“Well,” she added with a wide-eyed glance.
“And often,” he added.
“By you.” She nuzzled his cheek.
“Only by me.”
“Oh, yes. No other. Let me,” she begged him, using his two words that sent shivers through her body, “let me have more of you.”
