I was in the mood for a light read and while I was perusing my TBR piles, boxes, and shelves, I came across this and remembered that Lillelara had recently read it and enjoyed it. I definitely enjoyed The Grand Sophy better, but this one got me through without complaint. I struggled to really fee...
Cotillion, appropriately enough, is a novel about four couples. (The Cotillion is a period dance, with four couples, and was one of the ancestors of the American "square dance.") Kitty Charing is in a pickle. Her adoptive father, generally known as "Uncle Matthew," a penny-pinching miser of an o...
So here's the setup. Uncle Matthew Penicuik has made his Will, leaving his fortune to his ward, Miss Katherine 'Kitty' Charing with the stipulation that she marry one of his great nephews. If she doesn't, she will be penniless, and his money will go to a charity. Which one will she choose? - Capta...
Cotillion was not an easy book to review, despite being one of my all-time favourites, or perhaps because of it. It’s one of those sham engagement stories, a concept totally overused by today’s standards, wherein two people pretend to be in a relationship and end up falling in love. Yes. But when wr...
I love, love, love, Freddy!!! He is one of my top (if not THE top) Georgette Heyer heros. Surprised that's how I feel? Then let me explain: Freddy isn't your average GH hero, he is a pink, NOT a rake, NOT a nonsuch and certainly NOT 'in the petticoat line'. He is quite simply everyone's friend but ...
Actual stars: 3,5/3,75Took me a long while to get into it (hence the 3,5/3,75 rating), but by Jove it was fun in the end! The dialogues were so witty and so terribly and delightfully English. It's a good thing I bought so many Georgette Heyer books, because at this rate I am going to just devour the...
I wonder if I'm absolutely spoiled for romance book. This one is as good as other reviewers said, being meta, mocking other regency novel on the treatment of the rake, unconventional choice of hero,etc. It was very entertaining, fast paced, full of witty banter, I couldn't put it down & read it in a...
2.5 stars.It was decent but rather boring. I truly did like how Freddy was just very nice and sweet but as far as substance of any of the characters went, there wasn't much.
2 out of 5 StarsKitty’s overbearing Uncle has made her an heiress – under the condition that she marries one of her cousins! When her favorite, Jack, doesn’t show up, Kitty enters into a fake engagement with her other cousin Freddy to make Jack jealous. As with any not-so-brilliant “brilliant” plan,...
I tried to soldier on to the end but I just couldn't force myself to finish. Liked:* Some of the dialogue was witty.Liked Less:* The plot is glacial and the book consists mostly of conversations.* I couldn't understand a damned thing Freddy said most of the time. Too much slang.Overall, I may try an...
