All the world’s a stage for Peter Barton, a wandering actor now posing as a gentleman in Regency high society. But his carefree existence is jeopardized when a matchmaking mama tries to snare him for her dowdy daughter. To avoid entanglement and exposure, Peter needs a mistress – or at least someone willing to play the part. The stage is no place for a lady, but when proper young lady Amy Greenlow is left destitute with a young sister to support, she dares to reinvent herself as the actress “Amadora” and takes the London stage by storm. But all Society knows that actresses are women of no virtue, and a ruthless Marquis is determined to make Amadora his latest mistress and won’t take no for an answer. To discourage his advances, Amy agrees to play another part, that of Peter Barton’s mistress. For Peter and Amy, the public performance of their pretend affair is the role of a lifetime. Falling in love was never part of the plan. (Author’s note: The World’s A Stage is set in the same universe as A Feather To Fly With, and Peter Barton was a secondary character in that earlier work. But this novel is a stand-alone story, and can be enjoyed on its own without having read Feather. This novel is a traditional Regency, and contains no sex scenes.)

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. I'm so glad I did By Regency Fan It's hard to find a new regency writer that remains (mostly) true to the period, provides a light-hearted romance, and yet can develop a plot that is intricate enough to entertain and keep the reader engaged. I was greatly entertained by Joyce Harmon's first regency novel, A Feather to Fly With, and willing to give The World's a Stage a try, even though I am not usually a fan of theater-based settings and characters. I'm so glad I did! It was a fun, entertaining read from beginning to end with never a jarring note. The characters were sympathetic and well drawn with just the right amount of whimsy and (of course, since we have a hero who rescues a heroine from a dire fate) a little bit of pathos. Having worked my way through all of Georgette Heyer, Barbara Metzger, Joan Smith, and other classic regency authors, I'm glad to find Miss Harmon carrying on in their tradition. I will definitely check out any offering that has her name on it in the future!
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Intelligent, well-written, entertaining, and clean; who would have believed it from a contemporary romance novelist? By dlovestodance I don't read romance often, mainly because bodice rippers are so prevalent and good writing is so scarce, it's hard to wade through the sludge to find the gems. All of Joyce Harmon's books are gems. The plots are improbable, but the writing is very well-done and the characters are completely lovable, so I find myself putting aside my scepticism at the situation and just enjoying the read. These books are 100 percent clean, good fun!Thank you, Ms. Harmon, for giving me enough credit for intelligence that I'm not treated to an anxious internal dialogue from one character or another on every other page about how much they love their interest, but how they are so unworthy. I am also completely relieved that none of the main characters throw indignant childish tantrums over trivial things just for the sake of added drama. I was never a fan of the Jerry Springer show.Especially thank you for having characters that display true, caring love and a reasonable mature intelligence rather than being consumed by lustful thoughts every time they were in the presence of their love interest. I hate being thrust into someone else's pipe dream.I look forward to many more novels from you, keep up the good work!
5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Acting respectable or respectable acting? By OLT You can enjoy this little Regency as a standalone but it's the third in a series, following Harmon's novel A Feather To Fly With and her novella Regency Road Trip, a novella. If you do read those two works first you'll understand some of the secondary characters a bit better and some of the things in this book's hero's past. But, as I said, it's not necessary.Hero Peter Barton is accepted at all the upper-class gentlemen's clubs and all the ton doings. He's not titled but he is managing a good enough life financed by his card-counting gambling and savvy investments. He dresses very well, has intelligent conversation and appears to be a man of the world. But Peter has a secret. He's not a gentleman. He's an actor from a long line of actors in his family background. Everything is going swimmingly as long as matchmaking mamas don't ask him too many questions about his past.Our heroine is a beautiful and talented actress named Amadora, whom all the men drool over and want as their mistress. But Amadora has a secret. She's really well-bred gentlewoman Amy Greenlow, whose reduced circumstances have forced her to earn a living to support herself and her younger sister. Too pretty to be a governess and not wishing to be a maid, she doesn't find many options open to her.Add to the mix a jaded, unpleasant marquess who's obsessed with the beautiful actress and wants to make her his. So Peter needs protection from the matchmaking mamas and Amadora needs protection from the jaded marquess. What to do but agree to feign a protector/actress relationship.Not everything goes to plan. The marquess is quite obsessed and jealous and causes major problems. And Amy has no knowledge of who Peter really is and even has a misplaced idea about his sexual orientation. And things happen that may bring their secrets to the light of day.How can things be resolved? Will the outed secrets destroy our H and h? Will they find happiness? Is there a chance for respectability in Amy's life and can Peter maintain his facade of respectability? Well, read to find out. This has the usual Harmon charm, some humorous moments, and is a pleasant read and a sweet romance. (There are a few typos in this edition but not enough to hinder its reading.)
