Susanna Ives

Susanna Ives is an American author of historical romance known for her witty, emotionally engaging Regency-era love stories that combine sharp humour with genuine romantic chemistry. Her novel How to Impress a Marquess is a delightful romance featuring a spirited heroine and an aristocratic hero whose initial mutual exasperation gradually gives way to attraction, understanding, and love. Ives's writing is characterised by lively dialogue, well-researched historical settings, and characters whose personalities and conflicts drive the romance forward with both comedy and emotional depth. She has a particular talent for creating heroines who are unconventional and irrepressible, refusing to fit the mould that Regency society prescribes for women, and heroes who are compelling precisely because their rigid self-control hides depths of feeling. Ives's approach to historical romance balances period authenticity with modern sensibility, creating stories that feel true to their era while remaining accessible and entertaining for contemporary readers. Her work has earned her a loyal readership among fans of Regency romance by authors such as Julia Quinn, Lisa Kleypas, and Tessa Dare. How to Impress a Marquess is available as an audiobook, offering listeners a sparkling, witty Regency romance that delivers clever banter, genuine chemistry, and a deeply satisfying love story.
