Hi guys, Camy here! I was talking with a friend of mine who also loves Regency romances and we were discussing our favorite Regency plot types.<\/p>

\"Fire<\/a><\/div>\n

\"PreludeForALord<\/a>I am embarrassingly fond of \u201csecret baby\u201d plot lines as well as \u201cmarriage of convenience\u201d (which I just this moment remembered is in Prelude for a Lord<\/i><\/a>\u2014I am nothing if not predictable). My friend loves \u201cfriends discover they love each other\u201d plot lines, and she also favors strong female lead characters.<\/p>\n

So it got me wondering, what do other Regency lovers prefer?<\/p>\n

So please weigh in! I am super curious to know what types of story lines you prefer in your Regency romances. I\u2019m including a list I got off the internet<\/a> to jog your memory, and I have to admit some of these gave me a chuckle while others made me nostalgic for some of my favorite Regency books.<\/p>\n

1. Secret Baby

\n3. Opposites Attract
\n4. Bodyguard
\n5. Second chance\/First love rekindled
\n6. Reunion
\n7. Stranded
\n8. Love Triangle
\n9. Marriage of Convenience (mail-order bride)
\n10. Beauty and the Beast
