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.

The Regency Rake is often a handsome and virile gentleman, who is fashionable dressed or in uniform. Our dear Jane Austen included many character examples of this type, and we fell in love with them until we understood the truth of their behaviour. They often had money and often linked to a prestigious title, but not always, so you know that our Rake is no different in

Could a Rake ever change? Well, it has been known but most do not! Because he is usually accepted anywhere, he is often immune to the gossip and the criticisms of society, he is fawned over, and it is often taken as a coup for the hostess if he turns up at any of the entertainments she provides. The Regency Rake is often a handsome and virile gentleman, who is fashionable with money and a prestigious title, so...
