How to Talk to Nice English Girls: a lesbian historical romance Kindle Edition

by Gretchen Evans (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 285 ratings

In the aftermath of The Great War, everything is changing.

But not for Marian Fielding.

Marian’s life is quiet and predictable in the solitude of the English countryside, where she plans to remain. But Marian’s world is turned upside down when she meets brash, confident Katherine Fuller.

Katherine arrives at the Fieldings’ family estate for the wedding of Marian’s sister and immediately shakes things up. Instead of keeping the ill-mannered American girl out of trouble, Marian finds herself magnetically drawn to Katherine’s vivacious nature, and they are swept into a whirlwind romance that will change both of their lives.

Katherine's unconventional behavior and the pull of Marian's old life threaten their chance at happiness together. But these two women from different worlds will find a way to be together against all odds and expectations.

How to Talk to Nice English Girls is a steamy historical romance and is a standalone novel with plenty of heat and a definite HEA!

In the evenings, she does hot yoga and watches any TV show that can be read as queer-coded.

She plans to continue writing queer romance with engaging characters, sexy times, and feelings.

    What a fantastic book! Written beautifully with great characters and dialogues. The character development and how they grow together throughout the years is done well. Touching of a period that was hard time to be who they are but in the end, love prevails.

    4.0 out of 5 stars So very charming.
    Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2019

    I was really excited when I found out about this book because, while there is a lot of queer historical romance being published right now, there's A sad lack of lesbian historical romance coming out. So this book gets my thumbs up for that alone. It is a fast, sweet read with a few rough edges. Marian feels a little more one dimensional and feels real list stick, even coming from an old fashioned titled family. I would have liked a few more glimpses into her world, a few views of things she remembers or things she likes or things she wishes for even if she thinks she can't have them. I also would have liked to have seen things through her eyes and other senses a little more, rather than just hearing her thoughts. But, the romance here is perfectly lovely and sweet - but not too sweet! There is plenty of steam, and plenty of self discovery along the way. I think the epilogue might be my favorite part of the book. Lots of tenderness and humor there, and a lovely flow to the prose that was missing in other parts of the book. Overall, though, this was a satisfying read and gets plenty of extra kudos from me just for bucking the queer romance novel trend and bringing us a lovely growing relationship between two young women.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2022

    This novella took me by surprise. I was a little hesitant in the beginning, feeling like the language didn’t match the setting or the time period and that I needed more in terms of descriptions and details. I still believe those are two things that could be improved on, however Katherine and Marian were so lovely. I was charmed.

    Both women—and their relationship—were beautiful and it was wonderful to read about their growth as individuals and as an eventual couple. The author did a beautiful job with the intimate scenes and the amount of sentiment written in between the lines.

    A truly lovely read. I wish I could experience it again for the first time.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2020

    This novel has an interesting premise and the story line held great promise, but the writing isn't very good. The protagonist, who is supposedly a decidedly straight young woman, seems to be lusting immediately when she meets her guest. The dialogue feels contrived. It could have been so much better.

    I've always enjoyed historical romance and it's sooo much nicer to be able to read them with a context of women loving women and also not be doom and gloom, I don't for one second think it would have been easy, but for so many women to have not married and living with a companion, if that's not working the system I don't know what is.

    Sehr sexy und sehr romantisch, ein Hauch von Downton Abbey nur mit zwei liebenswerten lesbischen Hauptpersonen. Sehr unterhaltsam und die Sexszenen sind sehr gut. Lediglich das Ende kam zu abrupt und der Epilogue macht vermutlich ein Fortsetzung schwierig. Das ist schade, denn darüber hätte ich mich gefreut. Ansonsten ein gutes Debut.
