Praise for Vanessa Riley
"Riley is at her best when she lets her Gothic impulses out to play... Readers on the lookout for Black or disabled characters in historical romance will not want to miss this." --New York Times on A Duke, The Lady, and a Baby
"Riley does a fantastic job of subverting mainstream historical romance tropes while giving readers everything they could want in one and more." --Redbook Magazine
"Vanessa Riley crafts a highly historically accurate Regency interracial romance heavy on plotting and crisp detail."
--Entertainment Weekly
"Riley's novel is as bittersweet as the title suggests -- deftly weaving issues of class and race into a complex second-chance love story." --The Washington Post on The Bashful Bride
"While this is a historical romance that doesn't shy away from grappling with issues of race, it always keeps the focus on the love and passion blossoming between Ester and Arthur." --NPR on The Bashful Bride
"Gretna Greene elopements, fighting for abolition, and mutual love of Shakespeare make this a must read!" --Frolic on The Bashful Bride
