What to expect
Bridgerton meets Groundhog Day in The Redemption of Philip Thane, a rip-roaring regency rom-com for fans of Julia Quinn, Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer.
‘One of the most exciting historical fiction writers in a long time’ – Julia Quinn, author of the Netflix series Bridgerton, on Lisa Berne.
How many times can a rake get it wrong . . . before he becomes Mr Right?
Philip Thane – rogue, rake, and scoundrel extraordinaire. He didn't want to show up in the little town of Whittlesey to give a speech. But, then, he also didn’t expect to somehow find himself stuck in time – waking up every morning to live exactly the same day over, and over, and over again.
On the plus side, it’s giving him time to further his acquaintance with the delightful Miss Margaret Allen, in town to research the book she’s writing. And Philip has no doubt she’ll fall starry-eyed into his arms, just like so many other ladies of the ton have done before.
Yet Miss Allen stands firm against his wiles, day after day. How is it even possible? Why won’t she change her mind? What must he do to win her heart?
Maybe, just maybe, it isn’t Margaret who needs to change. Rather, perhaps change needs to come for a certain rogue. One who – if only he knew it – is head over heels in love . . . and badly in need of redemption.
'Truly one of the absolute best romances I’ve ever read!' – Sophie Jordan, author of Firelight
Critics Review
-
One of the most exciting new historical writers in a long time
Julia Quinn, bestselling author of Bridgerton
-
There’s no other way to describe this fizzy historical romance than enchanting. The wry humour and witty banter explode off the page from the start . . . It’s champagne in book form — bubbly, fun, and intoxicating far more quickly than one might anticipate . . . a breezy, fizzy read that will cut through even the darkest winter doldrums
Entertainment Weekly

A masterful Regency debut that explores pride and prejudices . . . A sheer delight
Kirkus, starred review
-
Berne’s Regency romance sparkles with dry, subtle wit . . . Berne smoothly works in social commentary . . . while championing the righteous rage and suppressed longings of mistreated women, updating Austenian sensibilities for the twenty-first-century reader
Publishers Weekly on You May Kiss the Bride
-
Berne’s exceptional romance debut . . . will dazzle readers with its irresistible mix of graceful writing tempered with just the right dash of crisp wit, splendidly captured Regency setting and atmosphere, and beautifully nuanced characters
Booklist
-
UNPUTDOWNABLE! This book consumed me. Truly one of the absolute best romances I’ve ever read!
Sophie Jordan, New York Times bestselling author
-
Jane Austen would approve. Strongly recommended
The Historical Novels Review, Historical Novel Society
-
Will delight Regency romance readers on the hunt for a new voice in the genre . . . Berne’s debut is a lingering homage to the heyday of the Regency historical romance – a lovingly crafted story of opposites forced together by Society’s censure, quirky side-characters and stolen kisses
