Regency romance is historical romance set in Britain's Regency era, roughly 1811 to 1820. It's the genre of ballrooms, the marriage mart, rakes and wallflowers, where reputation is everything and a single dance can decide a future. Wit, restraint and scandal do the work that danger does in other subgenres.
Regency romance is a game played under strict rules, and the fun is watching people bend them. A season in London is a market; a reputation is currency; and a rake is the one man everyone's warned about, which is exactly why he's useful. The best Regency stories give the heroine an agenda of her own — a scheme, a debt, a reason to court scandal — and let the romance ambush her halfway through it.

Regency romance is a subgenre of historical romance set during the British Regency, from about 1811 to 1820. It's known for high society, the marriage season, strict etiquette, witty dialogue and plots driven by reputation and scandal.
A rake is a notorious, pleasure-seeking gentleman with a scandalous reputation. In Regency romance the reformed rake is a classic love interest — a man everyone warns the heroine about, who turns out to have reasons for his reputation and a heart worth winning.
