Martini Club 4 groups four Regency heroines under titles that describe their predicament: Ruined and Precarious, Runaway and Priceless, Reckless and Pampered, Rebellious and Perilous. The pairing of adjectives in each title signals both the heroine’s social standing and her personality, which is a neat piece of series branding.
Kathy L. Wheeler published all four books in 2021. The series is built around the idea that four women in difficult Regency circumstances find their way to love, each through a different path. The club of the title presumably ties them together, though their situations differ considerably.
The four-book run is short enough to complete quickly, and the Regency setting gives the series the period detail — social calls, Season events, aristocratic hierarchies — that fans of the subgenre look for.
