It was my first Georgette Heyer book and I really enjoyed reading it. I had no clue that it would turn out to be more like a Jane Austen book! Though it was huge book of around 400 pages I could complete this very soon reason being the story and the way the story was told. I agree there were some d...
This is my fourth or fifth Heyer and I must say it's my absolute favorite! Perhaps because I identify with Frederica more than I identify with the majority of Heyer's heroines. Frederica struck a cord with me and I didn't look back! Alverstoke was a brilliant match for her as well, and I feel like t...
This is one of Heyer’s latest novels and consequently not the best one. But like any true master, Heyer never penned anything below certain level, so this novel compares favorably with many other novels, written by dozens of lesser writers. Heyer’s language is, as always, a cut above most of modern ...
The chief draw for me, the moment in this book when I decided that this was to be a favorite, was when Felix first began winding Alverstoke around his grubby little finger. There's just something so charming and funny about a little twelve-year old boy backing a thirty-seven-year old man into a corn...

The tape is a bit harsh on the ears but a gift is always lovely.I learnt that it is milch cow (cow which gives milk or is kept for milk production) not mulch cow, the term I have been erroneously using all the xx years of my life.Learn something new everyday.;O)The Baluchistan Hound steals this wond...
I've seen this described as one of Heyer's better books, which confuses me. There is nothing new or wonderful about anything in this book. As usual, the heroine is a sensible pretty woman of good breeding with laudable loyalty and family feeling. The hero is sophisticated, physically powerful, fa...
This is my first Heyer, and I look forward to many more of her romance novels.Instead of being funny enough to keep you laughing outloud, or seductive enough to make you swoon, this book will be witty enough to make you smile, and sweet enough to make you sigh...and sometimes, that can be better all...
There might almost be a tiny bit of modern thought in this one, the merest sliver of a suggestion of a breath of a hint of feminism. Also, I love Felix and Jessamy to pieces. Of course.
