Jessilyn Stewart Peaslee writes clean romance set primarily in Regency England. Her specialty is fairy tale retellings that transform familiar stories into historical romance settings. With three series and nine books published between 2015 and 2023, she has built a following among readers who want romance without explicit content and appreciate the creativity of reimagined fairy tales.
The Once Upon a Regency series is her most extensive at five books, each retelling a different fairy tale in Regency settings. Her Ella trilogy is a three-book Cinderella retelling that expands the familiar story across multiple volumes. She also wrote Finding Beauty in the Beast, a standalone take on the Beauty and the Beast tale.
Peaslee’s work appeals to readers who enjoy both historical romance and fairy tale retellings but prefer clean content. Her Regency settings provide the manners, social rules, and period detail that fans of Jane Austen-inspired romance expect, while the fairy tale framework offers familiar story beats with new twists.
