About this listen
Burkard combines elements of Sense and Sensibility and The Importance of Being Earnest to craft a delightful and comedic story that will certainly please historical fiction aficionados and those who enjoy wholesome, romantic stories. Kirkus
"Thoroughly enjoyable! A witty romp that will have you smiling and swooning throughout."
Reedsy
Miss Margaret Tavistock is promised in marriage to a captain she hasn't seen since childhood, as he's been at sea for a decade. When she finally meets him, tempestuous sparks fly, and she impulsively adopts a daring false identity. Going by "Lady X," she vows never to marry such an infuriating man.
Captain Gabriel Rempeare is prepared to fulfill his duty and marry Miss Tavistock--if only he can clap eyes on her! Circumstances keep them apart, though he cannot seem to avoid the maddeningly lovely Lady X.
When the two are thrown together in Mayfair, Miss Tavistock discovers the real nature of the captain, and regrets her subterfuge. But can such a noble man forgive deceit? Or has her mistake already cost her everything?
Reviewers Say:
"An exuberant heroine...The secrets, lies and misunderstanding are a perfect basis for an amusing, exciting plot. Captain Gabriel Rempeare is the perfect hero."Elizabeth Lloyd, Blogger, Reviewer, lizannelloyd.wordpress.com

Peggy Ellis, Writer, Reviewer"
"My goodness! I just started reading this book and I am gobsmacked. The writing is brilliant! ...It's as if you are living right there in 1811 Yorkshire...the words, the turns of phrase...Burkard is a master! Thank you for using and sharing your gift with all of us. Your biggest fan,"
Diane Archibald
"Miss Tavistock’s Mistake is is not only the best Regency Romance I’ve read, but one of the best from any genre...a ripping-good Regency!"
Terrance Grundy, Writer
A joy to read! Linore's superior command of Regency vernacular and the period are just exhilarating! She had fun writing this and it shows."
L.K. Simonds, Author, All In
"I really took my time, soaking in Miss Tavistock's Mistake. I wanted to walk those streets and meet the main characters! And what a great final chapter! I love how the author wrapped it all up. I'm only sorry it's over..."
Jody C. Blair, Reviewer
"I love it! The characters are great, the plot is fun. Is it weird to say it seems easily written? Like the characters are who they are and the author didn’t have to force anything to make the plot work?"
Jaimee Dinnison, School Principal
"Miss Tavistock's Mistake contains exquisite chapters. Some of the sentences just GLOW and make me want more, much more."
Gerald E. Greene, Author of Kaleidoscope
"This action-packed, time-traveling Regency was full of surprises and spiced with humor. A delightful romp.
Dana McNeely, Author, Rain
Savored every satisfying minute. I stretched it out as far as I possibly could,because I didn't want it to end!"
