Miss Louisa Ayling's Podcast
Welcome to the world of Regency romance.
…
I’m Miss Louisa Ayling, and I'm here to take you into a world of glorious and glittering ballrooms with dazzling chandeliers full of silk and satin gowned ladies being partnered by those handsome gentlemen in their immaculate dark tailcoats and silk buttoned pantaloons, swirling around the room in a Waltz.
Yes, the Regency Rake is always one of the most fascinating characters, although there are still many in this modern world today, but with the restrictions and etiquette of the Regency society, lady's would try to avoid a rake when ever possible, especially if they were a young lady who has just ‘come-out’, a debutante in their first season. But there are those rake's who can be reformed!
So, why not join me to hear the stories that my Regency characters want me to tell you.
