Book Details

Teacups and Temptations by Kate Ellington
Published by The Wild Rose Press on November 18, 2024
Genres: Historical Romance
Format: eBook, Paperback
Pages: 331

Molly Merriwether readily accepts an invitation to Waverly Hall, eager for adventure and amusement with her best friend. She never expected to be left unchaperoned with three intriguing young gentlemen for weeks.

Roger Bailey, recuperating in more ways than one, avoids Molly until her kindness and humor tempt him to deepen their acquaintance.

Molly lands in one unlikely escapade after the next with Roger and soon considers him a friend—perhaps more—but the barriers he puts up make it impossible to truly know him. Has she only imagined those tender looks in his eyes?

For a chance at love, Molly will need to bare her innermost self and trust someone more deeply than she’s ever dreamed possible.

Excerpt from Teacups And Temptations

“Not having chaperones has made it all the more interesting.” Molly glanced outside, where the men stood in a circle talking.

“Auntie’s going to be so upset when she finds out,” Caroline said.

“Perhaps she never will.”

Caroline clicked her tongue. “Of course she will. She’ll tell our parents.”

“Then we’d better enjoy ourselves while we still can.”

About to sip her juice, Caroline set the glass down. “I know that look, Molly. What are you planning?”

“Oh, I just thought we might have a poke around while the gentlemen are otherwise occupied.”

Outside, the men had set out across the field toward the kennels.

“We’ve done enough poking around,” Caroline said. “We’ll probably get lost again.”

“No. We’ve done enough poking around that we won’t get lost. And there’s that arched door we saw in the east wing other day.”

“It’s most likely a broom closet.”

Molly rose, leaving her napkin on the table. “It’s in the corner of an empty room on the third floor.

And with such an elaborate door? There were vines engraved on it.”

“The room wasn’t empty—it looked like an old sewing room. I’m sure it’s nothing of interest.”

“We won’t know until we look.”

“You’re doing this no matter what I say, aren’t you?” Caroline asked.

“You don’t have to come.” Molly gave her an angelic smile as she backed toward the door.

My Thoughts on Teacups And Temptations

Teacups and Temptations by Kate Ellington is a heartwarming Regency romance that will delight readers from start to finish. Molly Merriwether heads to Waverly Hall hoping for a fun escape with her best friend, but they end up unchaperoned with three intriguing young men—and one in particular catches her eye. Roger Bailey, a reserved and wounded soul, initially keeps his distance, but Molly’s wit and kindness slowly break down his walls.

Ellington does a fabulous job of capturing the chemistry between Molly and Roger. Their relationship has a gentle, realistic build, moving from friendship to something undeniably romantic. Molly’s lively, openhearted nature and Roger’s quiet, guarded demeanor create a tension that makes you root for them. The historical details are nicely done, adding flavor without overcomplicating the story, and Molly’s spirit feels both true to the time period and refreshingly relatable.

For anyone who loves a good Regency romance, Teacups and Temptations is a special treat. It’s a story about taking chances, opening up, and learning to trust, with just the right balance of sweetness and adventure. Ellington’s characters feel real, and their journey together is as endearing as it is engaging. This book is a cozy escape that will leave you smiling.
