I love your books!! I think
that I have almost all of them.
Years ago when I would read a
book, I thought wow this is so
funny - I have to find some more -
well they were all yours! So I set
out to find them all.I have many
many Regency's that I save for
reading over and over. I NEVER get
rid of yours for space for another
one!!!

I've never been a big romance
reader (besides Jane) because I
felt the writing lacked technique
and the genre was often filled
with nothing but soft porn.
I'm so happy to have picked
up an e-book and discovered some of
Barbara's work. I'm on my third
book and happily engaged in good
fun regency reading.

Dear Miss Metzger
I just finished reading "Jack of
Clubs". Thank you for
creating such a refreshing,
delightful book. I also want
to thank you for the many books of
yours I have read and
the many hours of pleasure. I look
forward to reading many
more of your books.

Dear Barbara,
I have read your books for almost
a decade, since I was in middle
school - thank you for continuing
to write! The series you have
right now, with the truthtellers,
is great. I had to go to 3
bookstores for the latest though,
so I hope your sales are going ok.
My favorite of yours is still
Snowdrops and Scandalbroth, esp
because of the male virgin hero &
the vivid word picture of the
initial lady's snotty nose). I
have just read your interview with
Risky Regencies, which was great!
I hope your trademark humor will
be able to come out to play more
in future books.
Any news on the next book that
will be out? Will it be on the
cousin in the
family? (I'm sorry, I'm really bad
with names...Daniel? the one with
the rash)
Sincerely,
Gina

Dear Barbara Metzger
Congratulations. Your new book is
fantastic.
I enjoyed it very
much. Now you have to write
Daniels story! I hope you will. My
favorite book
is "The Hourglass" because of
"Olive".
Thank you for many lovely books.

Hello Ms. Metzger,
Just read TRULY YOURS and
thoroughly enjoyed it, cannot wait
for SCANDALOUS LIFE OF A TRUE
LADY.
I don't know who does the design
of your covers, but I have to say
they are some of the most gorgeous
artwork I've seen. Absolutely
beautiful covers. Not that you
need a good cover to sell your
writing which I adore, but the
covers
certainly make you pick them up
and they are phenomenal.

I have enjoyed your books for

first when I go to a

would like
to get some of the older ones,

OF THE
DEVIL. If you could tell me where
to find them, I would appreciate
it very much.

Read your House of Cards
trilogy & loved it. Now I'm
finding your Signets at the Used
Bookstore & snapping them up. I
absolutely adored Miss Treadwell's
Talent. I literally laughed out
loud in spots.
Today I read A Debt to Delia &
just chortled. It was so great to
see an almost trite situation
turned on its ear (the 'I must
repay this life debt by marrying
my dead comrade's sister'). It
hasn't quite been used enough to
be trite, but it's close and I
loved how you wrote it.

Just finished "Truly Yours" and
loved every page. I know that the
topic is supposed to be serious
one, BUT, I could not help but
laugh through some parts of it.
Some of your phrases are so
eloquent, that they made me laugh
out loud.
One other note, your
paranormal are not as dark as some
that are out there. Most of those
books I will not even pick up, but
yours are fantastic.
Anxiously looking forward
to your next book. Hopefully the

You know, people always think that
Regency Romances are fluffy and
pointless and basically an excuse
for soft porn (!!) but to people
who say or think that, I would
give them a Barbara Metzger book.
Always unpredictable, well
written, warm, funny and highly
descriptive; I feel as if I am
living them. I personally think I
have better vocabulary, grasp of
Regency era history and higly
developed sense of humor (ahem)
mostly because I am a HUUUUUGE fan
of Regencies and more particulary,
Barbara Metzger. Please, don't
EVER stop writing! I have been
reading your books since I was a
teenager living in Pakistan and am
now a 30 year old Chicagoan.
There's nothing like a Regency to
bring the world together, I say!

(Rake's Ransom and A Loyal

second, I thought "Oh, no -- a

I just want to apologize for my
initial reaction. I actually
enjoyed the book a great deal and
especially liked Fitz's acid
comments about people and
customs (many of which could apply
today!).
So far, I haven't read a single
Metzger that I didn't like. Thank
you.

CommentsDear Ms. Metzger,
I have been reading your books for years. Just finished The Duel -- read it in one night! Absolutely wonderful. Laugh out loud! I am thrilled to see that The Rhapsody Romance Book Club is offering some of your books -Wedded Bliss and The Perfect Gentleman -- I hope they will also offer The Duel. I would love to own that in hardcover. Its a keeper. Thank you for all the wonderful books -- please keep writing!

CommentsI love your Regency books . I have read THE DUel and Wedded Bliss and they were great. They were so funny which I don't seem to get in all my books. I hope you continue to write these great books. Thanks

CommentsWhat an awesome author! Thank you for making us laugh so much--especially the silly puns--but the plots are incredible and really keep the reader's attention until the last page. I'm such a picky reader that the only other authors I'll consider in the so-called Regency genre are Edith Layton, Carla Kelly, and Georgette Heyer. That's awesome company for anyone. Thank you, thank you!

CommentsHi, just finished reading "The Duel" and LOVED it. Delightful, funny, just about perfect. I hope you never stop writing regency books - we need more of them! P.S. If your readers get nervous waiting for your next book to appear as I do, they might want to check out Marion Chesney, who could fill in while they wait.

CommentsDear Barbara Metzger, I have been reading you since The Inn,
and then backed up. I collected your books and my girls grew up and now my younges has read my entire collection. I started reading you from the public library (my sister turned me on to you, as she was looking for an E. Peters under Mertz and found you - better) and am glad to know you are back there again. (My daughter will be also.) I am also glad to see you have won so many awards, and very glad that you continue to write. thank you.

Dear Barbara:
I read about you in Sunday Newsday 2/13/05 and went to the library the next day. I took out A Debt to Delia and read it in a day - and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm a big Jane Austen fan and had no idea Regency Romances could be so much fun. Thanks for a great read.
All the best in 2005.

Barbara, i heard some great things about THE DUEL! I'm looking forward to reading it. I wondered if this book was connected with any of the other books of yours (by characters or anything) thanks. Cathie

Dear Barbara Metzger:
I just finished THE DUEL. I saved it for the last of the batch that I had ordered in January; and it was absolutely wonderful! I loved Ian; but Lord Carswell made me howl with laughter. This was so far above what some of the "newest" Regency "stars" are capable of; and where I thought (& still believe) some will never ever be able to go. Thank you for letting us hardcore fans of the genre know that good writers are still out there. You handled everything (& everyone) with such grace & humor. I can barely wait for my second reading.
Many Thanks!

Not since Heyer have I been so entertained by a Regency novel.
Your sense of humor and comedies of manners are "suit me to a cow's thumb."
I smile, I laugh out loud and read passages to my spouse, who is a great Austen fan.
Would that someone would make films of your stories!

Have been reading your books for several years.
I cannot see how you can have written so many;
it must take years to squeeze all that humor
into each paragraph! I'm still searching for
more of your oldies. Keep up the good work.

Hi Barbara! When I was 14, Minor Indiscretions was the very first regency I ever read (still my favorite, with the Earl and the Heiress and Rake's Ransom following a close second) I just wanted to say thanks for all the laughs over the years! I own just about every book you've ever written...I've re-read them each many times over. Your ideas are great...I'm looking forward to many more hopefully! :)
Thankyou! Erin Mills

Ms. Metzger, I like your site. However, a little suggestion, a summary after each book title would be nice. I am in the process of hunting down all your past titles and a short summary would let me know which ones to find first. Your writing style and sense of humor is awesome.Your command of the english language is excellent. Its evident in the play on words and puns found in your works. Keep up the excellent work. God Bless and continued success.

Hi Barbara,
Just wanted to add to all the other writers to you. I thoroughly enjoy your regencies, especially as I am guaranteed to get a good laugh out of them. Where do you come up with all the great and different ideas? Keep up the good work. Love the website - especially the photos of Hero.
Cheers.

Just finished my first Barbara book - A Perfect Gentleman. What a hoot! Thanks for the laugh-out-loud Regency. I've had the flu and you kept me company while keeping me laughing. Thanks for the cure. Looking forward to finding the rest of your books to enjoy. February and the new release can't come fast enough. Happy 2005.
