4.5 starsThis book is a little silly and a little too dramatic to be considered serious. Which is a good thing, really, because sometimes we all need to read non-serious things (I know I do. A lot of times) and it’s either this or YA high school drama that’s not very good* - you know what I’m talkin...
When the young hero of this book, Lord Sherry, offers marriage to the beautiful Miss Milborne, she refuses his suit.

I actually listened to this on audiobook this time around. I loved it! I love this book, period. If you like funny Regency Romance and you haven't read this book, then SHAME on you! SHAME!Really, so, so goo!

This book is definitely amongst the funniest of all GH's books I've read so far. At the beginning I thought i wouldn't like it because I didn't like Sherry, the main male character so much. The way he treated Hero! I mean, he hit her several times! That is domestic violence, no matter how you look a...
I tried... I really did. But I just couldn't read past the first few chapters of this book. As a rule, I love Georgette Heyer books -- they're among my favorites. But the 2 main characters in this book were so grating, I couldn't imagine reading 200+ more pages of them. I'm sure it's a perfectly goo...
