Welcome to Abby Rice Romance

Thanks for stopping by! I’m a romance author and book blogger. And if you’re looking for your next happily-ever-after read, you’ve come to the right spot!

A romance fan since I stumbled across Georgette Heyer’s sassy heroines at age 14, I adore the tension, the build, the chase, and oh, that first kiss. Today, my reading tastes run the gamut — from sweet Historicals to sizzling Contemporaries. And after years as a professional author writing serious non-fiction, I’ve finally stuck a toe in romance-writing waters myself with The Captain’s Kidnapped Bride. (Hope you’ll check out the cover and blurb, below!)

As you’ll see in my Abby Rice blog, I also love blogging about the romance books I’m currently reading. Check out my latest book reviews in the Blog below. Here’s to happily-ever-afters!

I only review books that capture *my* heart, and just like love itself, reviews here are free. (I can’t promise to review everything I receive, but I love discovering new authors!)

The Captain's Kidnapped Bride

Hetty's reputation is in tatters after she wakes up aboard a strange ship, headed for Jamaica – with the captain snoring beside her. A fake marriage offers a less-than-ideal solution. But if pulling off a pretend relationship with a total stranger is a challenge, it’s trouble-on-steroids when Hetty discovers there’s no “home” to go back to. A sweet historical romance (1868), with a dash of the paranormal and a heart-warming happily-ever-after.

Book Review: “The Work of Art”

I’ve got a new favorite historical romance author – Mimi Matthews! The stunning cover of “The Work of Art” first drew me in. Inside, the prose proved just as spectacular as the cover. It’s Spring, 1814, and orphaned Phyllida Satterthwaite’s uncle has kindly arranged to introduce her to London society. He’s also arranged for an […]

Book Review: Southern Charmer

Olivia had everything she thought she ever wanted – a dream job, a great house, and even a proposal from Teddy, the “perfect man.” He’d popped the question in, of course, the completely perfect way: over a lavish dinner, with flowers, and four-carat diamond ring. Yet somehow Olivia couldn’t squeak out a ‘yes.’ She’s fled […]

Book Review: “Changes” by Judith Arnold

“Changes” by Judith Arnold opens with Diana searching for the perfect wedding venue, as she and her irritable fiance visit laid-back Brogan’s Point. The fiance hates the small-town vibe.
