Summary

Mean Girls meets Northanger Abbey in this sharp and sexy Regency Romance that begs the question: what if Cady and Regina just… kissed

Twenty-five years after a horrible betrayal, Catherine’s mother sees the perfect opportunity for revenge: Catherine must win the favor of Lady Rosalie’s suitor and unofficial bet…

Critics Review

“No one does yearning, whether to find the love of one’s life or to be loved for one’s genuine self, quite like Alban.” — Booklist (Starred Review)“Charming, joyful, funny, and deeply kind, Like in Love with You is full to the brim with loving families, scheming friends, and queer joy. Emma R. Alban is the queen of the sapphic historical romance.” — Alexandra Vasti, USA Today Bestselling Author of Ladies in Hating“Fresh, flirtatious and undeniably fetch, Like in Love With You makes a perfect match with yearning to rival the Regency classics and scheming and snark straight from the fizziest rom-coms. Alban’s writing sparkles like a diamond in this delightful mash-up.“ — E.B. Asher, USA Today Bestselling Author of This Will Be Fun”What Alban does is nothing short of magical. Progressive sensibilities and comedic stylings unfold against a lush, fully realized historical backdrop. Like in Love with You is the total package for Victorian sapphic enjoyers.” — TJ Alexander, USA Today bestselling author of A Gentleman’s Gentleman“Alban writes with effortless charm and wit, crafting a delicious romp of a rivals-to-lovers romance full of crackling competition and longing stolen looks. Sapphic, steamy, and utterly delightful.” — Edward Underhill, author of The In-Between Bookstore”Like in Love with You by Emma R. Alban is a swoony sapphic romance brimming with tension, banter, and heart. Rosalie and Catherine’s rivals-to-lovers journey crackles with sharp wit, slow-burn yearning, and moments that will have you giggling, blushing, and kicking your feet. Surrounded by a warm, unforgettable cast of friends and family, this story is as sweet as it is romantic—and as sure of its happily ever after as its heroines are of each other. Perfect for fans of sapphic romance, period drama, with a dash of chaos wrapped in a bundle of love.” — M.A. Wardell, author of Teacher of the Year”Full of charm, wit, and most importantly, yearning! Alban blends humor and romance perfectly into this absolutely dreamy romp of a love story!” — Mason Deaver, author of The Build-a-Boyfriend Project”A sweet and spicy enemies-to-lovers story, enhanced by copious details about life in Regency Bath… Alban’s ability to center the blossoming of a romantic relationship without minimizing the importance of friends and family is on full display here, granting the story an extra measure of complexity that heightens the intense connection between Rosalie and Catherine.” — Kirkus Reviews
