Oh good, I'm really glad you liked it! :D I had not made the Eliot Spencer connection, but there are definitely certain archetypal connections (though more like a cross between Eliot and Sophie really?)

I would read that tie-in novel! I would read tie-in novels about basically ALL the side characters, honestly -- the lesbian maids, the coffeeshop girl, Rafe, Lydia's former BFF and her FORBIDDEN CROSS-POLITICAL LOVE ...

To be fair I think the next one in the series is not about any of those people, but it IS about a maid and a butler and NO ONE IS SECRETLY NOBILITY (to the best of my knowledge) and I am mad excited about that because NO ONE writes Regency romances that don't involve rich people!
