Yes. I write sweet, closed-door Regency romance. Expect longing looks, sparkling banter, and plenty of swoony tension, but the bedroom door stays firmly shut. My books are safe to read anywhere, including on the train with your nan sitting beside you.
If you love light, witty romantic comedies, dive into the Merry Spinsters, Charming Rogues books.
If you prefer historical Regency romances steeped in deep research, with a touch of espionage, high-stakes secrets, and glittering society, try the Viennese Waltz series. The prequel My Lady, Will you Dance? is not set in Vienna, but perfectly introduces the main characters of the first three books).
If you feel like escaping into sweet, heartwarming historical romance with a delightful dash of fairy-tale magic, the Wishing Well Series is for you.
If you prefer to follow the romantic fortunes of the school’s instructors, try the Wishing Well Seminary Series.
Finally, if you want to delve into an earlier epoch altogether, try Georgians in Paris.
Each book stands alone, so you can happily start anywhere. If you like to read in order, you can grab the full list on my Printable Book List page.
No. The ideas, the stories, the unexpected twists, and the characters are all mine. You are always getting a 100% real book written by a real human author.
Do I use tools to help me proofread and polish? Of course, just as writers have always used spellcheckers, dictionaries, and editing software to refine their work. But no machine dreams up my plots, my characters, or that weird sense of humour. Every manuscript is thoroughly edited by a professional human editor. Whatever typos, errors and em dashes remain after that are entirely mine, and I own them unashamedly! All hammered out daily on my keyboard, butt in chair, with gallons of tea and way too much chocolate.
Some are. My Merry Spinsters and Viennese Waltz series are currently in Kindle Unlimited, so KU members can read them at no extra cost. My Wishing Well and Wishing Well Seminary series are wide, which means you will find them across all the major retailers such as Kobo, Apple, Barnes and Noble, etc. KU enrolment can change, so the buy links on each book’s page always show the current options.
Never between books. Each romance is fully resolved by the final page, so you are never left dangling. My series share a world and a cast of recurring characters, yet every book tells one complete love story of its own.

Sofi Laporte is my pen name, and yes, I am very real. I write my Regency romances from Austria, where I live with far too much coffee and one extremely opinionated rescue dog. You can read more about me on my About page.

I love hearing from readers. You can always reach me through my contact page. If you would like to leave a review, your retailer of choice and Goodreads are the most helpful places.

I am always incredibly honoured when fellow writers ask me to read their work! However, between my own demanding writing schedule and keeping up with my upcoming releases, my plate is completely full. Because I must prioritise writing my own books and meeting my deadlines, I am unable to read unsolicited manuscripts or offer feedback. I wish you the absolute best of luck on your writing journey!
