Berkley–Falkner

by Lisa Kleypas 2 books in this series

The Berkley–Falkner novels are Lisa Kleypas’s earliest connected historical romances, written in the expansive style of the late 1980s. They follow aristocratic families through pursuit, separation, damaged trust and eventual reconciliation, using Regency Europe as a setting for intense personal conflict.

The sequence is less closely tied to documented events than Kleypas’s later work, but it establishes recurring concerns that shape her career: unequal power within courtship, family expectations, social rank and the possibility that love requires changes in conduct rather than simple possession.
