A perfect pace to allow Kitty to grow up and become wise. Freddy had me in his favor right from the start. He was an ideal example of a true hero.
I adore this book! I think there's plenty of romance in it, I enjoyed watching Freddy and Kitty scramble through Kitty's plans--and failed plans. Watching Freddy develop his feelings for Kitty was one of the best things about the novel--it was so subtle, but I knew I could see it, though I was dread...
A bit of a slow, uneven start to it, but once Heyer introduces everyone and sets the chaos dial to 11, it hits its stride with hilarious results. It's the most fun I've had reading in a good long while.
