![]() ![]() Juliet Shelby is the daughter of Rose, Viscountess Shelby, who is, unfortunately, the vainest of the Featherstone sisters. The heroine of How to Romance a Rake, a tremendously appealing character, is not your conventional Regency miss. I came up with the Fabulous Featherstone sisters and out of that grew their daughters, the Ugly Ducklings. I did a “what if” and wondered what it would be like to be the daughter of such a famed beauty–especially a daughter who suffers by comparison. ![]() They were real life Regency characters who came from no-one knows where and took the ton by storm with their beauty and married very, very well. The concept of three cousins who are considered ugly compared to their glamorous mothers grew out of a story I read somewhere about the famous Gunning Sisters. Can you tell us a little bit about it and what inspired the premise? ![]() Your series is called The Ugly Ducklings. Let’s have a chat with Manda, and see what she’s up to with her latest book, How To Romance A Rake. Her first book, How to Dance With a Duke, debuted to great reviews and spent several weeks on the Bookscan bestseller list. Mandy writes witty and charming Regency-set historical romance with a dash of mystery. I’m thrilled to have my good friend and talented historical romance author Manda Collins on the blog today. ![]()
