Author: Cora Lee

Cora Lee is a National Bestselling author of Regency romance. She went on a twelve year expedition through the blackboard jungle as a high school math teacher before publishing Save the Last Dance for Me, the first book in the Maitland Maidens series. She then followed it up with six other novels and novellas ranging from sweet and traditional to spicy and suspenseful. When she’s not walking Rotten Row at the fashionable hour or attending the entertainments of the Season, you might find her participating in Regency Fiction Writers events, wading through her towering TBR pile, or eagerly awaiting the next Marvel movie release.

Happy birthday to The Good, The Bad, And The Scandalous

Cora Lee

Happy belated book birthday to The Good, The Bad, And The Scandalous, published six years ago yesterday 🎉

It was my first full length novel and part of the multi-author Heart of a Hero Series where one or both main characters are Regency homages to superheroes. Scandalous features Andrew Elliott, Earl of Hartland who is loosely based on Tony Stark/Iron Man, and Sarah Shipton, a woman hunted for a wrong she didn’t even know she committed.

Save the Last Dance for Me is now available in audio!

When Lady Honoria Maitland reunites with her old friend Benedict Grey, she proposes an arrangement: a faux courtship that will smooth Benedict’s re-entry into society and please her father. But Honoria’s clever plan fails to account for Benedict’s heart…or her own desires.

This novella has:

  • friends to lovers & fake dating tropes
  • a wallflower hero
  • a take-charge heroine
  • ancient Greek poetry
  • some serious sentimental moments
  • some light and funny moments
  • a narrator that brings every character to life

Set in London during the Season.

Writing Life

I’m now on Ko-Fi!

Cora Lee

And I’m posting chapters of my current Work-in-Progress When I Fall In Love as I write them! If you read Kissing by the Mistletoe and wondered when Kit was going to get his own book, or you just want to read a sweet Regency romance novella about a gentleman farmer, the neighbor he grew up with, and her goose, you can do it on Ko-Fi for the price of a cup of coffee. You can even leave comments on what you’ve read 😊

TBR Challenge

Cora’s TBR Challenge Check-In

Cora Lee

2021 has come and gone, fellow readers. Did you make your TBR Challenge goals?

For the second year in a row, I didn’t. And for the first time ever, the number of books I did read was only in the single digits. One the one hand, I’m disappointed–not just because I didn’t make my goal, but because reading has always been an activity I loved and spending less time with books makes me sad on several levels. On the other hand, it was an arbitrary number and while 2021 was better to me than 2020 was, it was still a rough year. So I’m shrugging my shoulders and closing the book–so to speak–on the 2021 TBR Challenge. The phrase “it is what it is” has been used perhaps too much lately, but 2021 was what it was.

At the end of 2020 I wished for peace and energy in the new year, but for 2022 I wish for healing and rest. I have a feeling there are a lot of us who could use both.
