Tales of Magnificent Ladies is one of Abby Ayles’ earlier series, with eight books published between 2017 and 2021. Each book centers on a heroine who brings something distinctive to the usual Regency courtship narrative. These are not passive heroines waiting to be noticed at a ball. They take action, make decisions, and sometimes cause a stir in doing so.
The series covers a good stretch of Ayles’ early career and shows the style she would continue to develop in later series. Readers who enjoy Regency heroines with a bit of backbone will find plenty to like here, with each “magnificent lady” facing her own specific challenges before finding her match.
