My thoughts on The Lord and the Red-Headed Hornet
I enjoyed reading this story so much. It was quick, fun, and had me chuckling throughout at Amelia’s antics and the way Ned spurred her on.
There are mentions of social injustice, especially how children and women are treated in this time period. The plight of the poor is brought to light in very subtle ways to make you aware of the history of the working and living conditions of the era. I was happy to see Amelia bring Ned’s head down from the clouds and for them to work to right the wrongs they can. But, the history is worked into the romance, so it doesn’t become overtly sad.
Amelia tackles life like a mad hornet which for the most part accomplishes her goals. She does get in over her head on occasion, which adds to the humor.
Ned, Amelia, Aurelius, and Tom make a fabulous set of characters to build the story around. I felt like I was right there with them, whether it was a horse race, visiting the factories, or even falling asleep in the gallery of Parliament.
I highly recommend this Regency Romance for a quick read with a HEA. The author’s books have never let me down. She gets better every time I read one of her delightful books.

About G.L. Robinson
From G.L. Robinson:
I'm a product of a convent boarding school in the south of England in the 1950s and early '60s. You can probably guess I received an old-fashioned education. I learned a great deal about the humanities and practically nothing in the sciences. I understand Latin, speak French fluently and my German isn't bad. I read the Canterbury Tales in the original Middle English when I was 16 and Shakespeare is an open book. But the only science I remember is the ditty: Miss Cummings (our teacher) was a scientist, alas she is no more, for what she took for H2O (water) was H2SO4 (sulphuric acid). Not bad, eh? Words to live by.
I met my American husband while working in Brussels (Belgium). Then we moved to Bonn (Germany). I had three children in a foreign tongue. If you want to know how to say "push" in French and German, ask me!
I've lived in the USA for over 40 years, have seven grandchildren and the same husband I started with. We live in a small town in upstate New York but nowadays spend the winter in Florida. I need to sell lots of books so we can buy a waterfront condo! (laughs ironically).
I love my garden, telling my grandchildren stories and eating desserts. I'd give up a steak for a Key Lime Pie any day!
I began writing Regency Romances just under two years ago after the death of my beloved sister who was in the convent with me all those years ago. We used to read them under the covers with a torch after lights out. My books are dedicated to her.
