Series ✦ Penny’s Take
A Mother's Love
Violet Hamilton · 1997
70/100
👍 Worth It
Four traditional Regency romance novellas built around a motherhood theme, from a mainstream Kensington/Zebra imprint that guarantees professional production and clean, period-appropriate conventions — this is exactly the kind of warm, safe historical romance anthology that fans of the genre reach for. Violet Hamilton is a known quantity in Regency circles and her contribution is part of a well-matched set. The only real caveats are its age (nearly 30 years) and the anthology format's naturally uneven quality across four writers.
