"Linda McLaughlin has done a wonderful job. Instead of focusing on the life of the ton and the upper class during the Regency period, Lady Elinor's Escape instead focuses on the life of the middle class and the injustices that prevail. Stephen is the younger son of a baronet and so has gone into a career as a barrister and knows these injustices firsthand. When Elinor stays with Mimi, she lives the life of a seamstress and begins to realize the differences between the classes. Due to Elinor’s sheltered upbringing, she has never been aware of the lower classes. Elinor is a very strong young lady, definitely independent and must learn to trust others. I highly recommend Lady Elinor's Escape to all lovers of traditional Regency romance."—Chere, Romance Junkies

"With well-rounded and vital secondary characters and a simple but delightful premise, Lady Elinor's Escape is a very enjoyable read. Ms. McLaughlin has once again created a tale rich with great characters and filled with romance, humor, and a twinge of sadness. Although this is the author's first Regency novel, she's done her research well. I highly recommend Lady Elinor's Escape."—Jani Brooks, Romance Reviews Today

"3 Stars!...McLaughlin pulls you into the story from the beginning. Her characters are well defined and you root for a happy ending in this easy read."—Gabrielle Pantera, Romantic Times

"A charming story from start to finish...captures the reader's interest with a lively story, filled with mystery, danger and of course, true love."—Joyce Handzo, In The Library Reviews

"...A sweet and pleasant read. The author throws in a little heartbreak and a bit of adventure that livens up the story and saves it from being overly sweet. The main characters are likeable, especially Elinor, who could have easily become an overly tragic character but instead stood up for herself and takes control over her own destiny. The minor characters also add some entertainment with their efforts to help Stephen and Elinor's relationship bloom. In the end, all of the story's loose ends are tied up nicely, and I can also see a possible sequel based on one of the minor characters."—S. Khaw, Road to Romance

"I really enjoyed this book and its subtle look at the effects of domestic violence. It was great to see the underdog befriended and I am looking forward to many more books from Ms. McLaughlin."—Robyn, Once Upon A Romance
