Cross-Posted on The Dead Writers Society. This will be the one that ends up as my go to recommendation for people who are starting out with Heyer. It used to be The Grand Sophy, but there is that unpleasant anti-semitic streak that runs through it which has led me to be increasingly uncomfortable ...

Faro's Daughter is a delight to read -- once you put aside the niggling nudges of common sense at the back of your head, and the desire to smack the protagonists' heads together. A healthy suspension of disbelief is a natural necessity upon venturing into the world of the Regency Romance, but especi...

I suppose its fitting that what I've deemed "the year of Georgette Heyer" ends with a Heyer, and what a fantastic one to end on! Nothing gets me more than a good Heyer hero.

This is not my favorite Georgette Heyer because the Hero is such a selfish clod but it is still a good fun read.
