Hi! I’m Melanie Dickerson and I love a good romance! I’ve written Medieval Fairy Tale Retellings and Regency Romantic Suspense, and now I’m writing Regency Romance. Two of my favorite novels are Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice, both of which inspired my new book, The Good Fortune of Miss Robbins. You can learn more about me on Facebook and Instagram.
Charlotte Robbins accepts a governess position for the Earl of Brookhaven’s siblings despite rumors of the earl’s severe and mysterious demeanor. As a lowly governess, Charlotte entertains thoughts of possible romance with an eligible servant until she does fall unexpectedly in love–with the pensive earl himself.But love does not mean a match is possible, and the earl’s friends warn Charlotte that if he were to fall for her, it would ruin him.
Just as Charlotte resigns herself to the impossibility of her feelings, she receives news that she has inherited a fortune from a long-lost relative. Now thrust into London high society, Charlotte grapples with suitors vying for her attention, but her heart still belongs to the Earl of Brookhaven. As secrets unfold, she’s no longer certain if her newfound fortune is a blessing–or if it is the very thing that threatens the love she’s always longed for.
Orphans in Regency England
As an orphan, Charlotte faces unique challenges. People in England during the Regency era did not think of children the way we do. For example, could you imagine sending your baby to a neighboring farm family or a village woman to be raised and cared for until they were two years old? That is exactly what Jane Austen’s own family did. Her mother nursed her child until about three months old, then Mrs. Austen sent them to live with a nearby family.
In Regency England, orphaned children often lived on the streets. If they hoped to learn a trade, they had to find a wealthy patron who would sponsor them at an orphanage. Then they must go through a process of application, and the board of the home for orphans would vote on which applicants to admit. The children would then learn a trade such as carpentry or how to work as a servant in the wealthiest homes.
At this time, legal adoption as we know it did not exist. And as street children were seen as a bigger problem, laws were passed with harsh punishments for begging or sleeping on the street. To address this, workhouses were created in the 1830s, but they were harsh, cruel places that provided little or no care and forced children to do hard labor. In The Good Fortune of Miss Robbins, Charlotte Robbins, orphaned at the age of five, was fortunate to have had parents that were able to leave her just enough money to provide her a place at a school for girls. Charlotte and one or two other girls were permanent boarders, educated alongside girls who were sent to the school to be educated for a short time and then to return home. I hope you enjoy her story!
Here’s the Stop #30 Basics:
If you’re interested, you can order The Good Fortune of Miss Robbins on Amazon, Baker Book House, Barnes & Noble, ChristianBook or at your local bookstore!
Clue to Write Down: read!
Next Stop is for the Grand Prize, Stop #31.

I LOVE a Spy’s Devotion. I’m not sorry that I already own it. It’s my favorite one of her regency series that I’ve read BY FAR. Who knows, though. This one may top it–but I doubt it. Nicholas Langdon is pretty awesome.
