About the Author

Ann Lethbridge majored in history and business. She always loved the glamorous, if rather risky, Georgians and in particular the Regency era as drawn by Georgette Heyer. It was that love that prompted her to write her first Regency novel in 2000. She found she enjoyed it so much she just couldn’t stop! Ann gave up a career in university administration to focus on her first love, writing novels and lives in Canada with her family. Visit her website at: www.annlethbridge.com

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Born in England and now living in Canada, Ann grew up loving history, but majored in business, with history on the side. She has a husband and two lovely daughters and a Maltese Terrier called Teaser, who likes to sit on a chair beside the computer while she works.

Beginning her career as a University Administrator, her love of the past and the stories in her imagination brought her to a fork in the road.

After writing her first novel in 2000, a never-see-the-light-of-day-effort, and having her first book published in 2006, she decided to write full time in 2008 and hasn't looked back.

She loves the Georgian era, and within that, the period known as the long Regency. She also adores happy endings.

    This was such a nice book.
    All the stuff of historical romances.
    And very steamy sex scenes.
    I really enjoyed Eleanor and Garrick's romance.

    Good plot and likeable characters. I liked the fact that leading lady was a bit of a tomboy. An easy book to recommend.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Awful
    Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2012
    If I could give minus stars I would. The characters were cardboard, the plot ridiculous and as for the historical content: the only bits of history were the swish of clothes, a number of horse and trap journeys and a mention or two of Napoleon.. I am so glad it was free.

    What a lovely, lovely story! I was one of them books I didn't want to put down, turning one page after the other! So nicely written, with just hot sex scences! Sissling! You must get this one! And so much more fun as "Pride and Prejustice"!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Well written, good story
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 9, 2012

    I'm quite fussy about my Historical Romances (as another reviewer said, a guilty pleasure of mine!), but this one ticked all the boxes for me. So many of them are poorly written with a ridiculous plot. I found this one really enjoyable with believable characters and thought all the saucy bits were very well written. Enough depth that I will keep it on my kindle to re-read in the future and will be downloading more of Ann Lethbridge's works as enjoyed this one so much. (Just a small point to the publisher; I liked the title of the Italian edition much better - Lady Moonlight - as it's far more descriptive of the book's contents than the English title.)

    4.0 out of 5 stars Verzwickter Regency-Roman
    Reviewed in Germany on May 1, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Gut geschriebene Geschichte, voller Intrigen und Verbrechen, Verführungen, Enttäuschungen und Hoffnungen.

    Die junge Lady Eleonor lebt mit ihrer 12-jährigen Schwester in Armut, seit sie das Familienvermögen ihres Zwillingsbruder, der sich im Krieg gegen Napoleon befindet, verspekuliert hat. Zur Bestreitung ihres Lebensunterhaltes betätigt sie sich als Strassenräuberin; dummerweise wird sie durch den charmanten Marquess of Beauworth ausgetrickst. Sie wird seine Geliebte inkognito. Doch der Bruder kehrt zurück und das Verhängnis geht weiter.

    Sehr vergnüglich und süffig zu lesende Geschichte mit immer neuen Wendungen. Einzig der Schluss ist etwas sülzig geraten. Macht Spass.

    I'm going to break the mould a bit and give "Wicked Rake, Defiant Mistress" 4 stars.

    I enjoyed reading it, and whilst it may not be highbrow literature, I was expecting a lot less from the title! I have to admit that Regency romances are a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine, and I was pleasantly surprised in this one that the "Defiant Mistress" was actually defiant - or at least compared to many of her counterparts in other similar books.

    I found it to be a nice easy read, with twists that I did not expect, and a satisfying happy ending - just what I needed!
