by Georgette Heyer
This was my second (at least) read of Regency Buck. There were parts of it that I liked better this time around, and parts that I actually liked less. The hero, Lord Worth, is no more likeable in this read than he was the first time I read it. I just cannot conceive of his appeal for Judith, who i...
Fantastic! I've read this one several times now, and the pleasure of the story, the characters and the writing just grows with each reading. This book, Georgette Heyer's first novel set during the Regency, is the one that started the whole "Regency romance" genre and it's still one of the best. The...

In describing regency places, habits, and costumes, Heyer always does astoundingly well - but this is the most descriptive regency novel I have ever read (and I've read many). Heyer’s first trip into the Regency period was with Regency Buck in 1935 and 75 years later, it is still one of the best boo...
"Pushing the Limits" is a solid coming of age, romantic story between two teens who have some very major issues to contend with. Noah and Echo swing in very different social circles but have more colliding points together than they thought possible. They see the same school therapist and both want ...

With any other hero, I might consider this the best of Heyer. As it was, I was torn between hating Lord Worth and being swept up in the story.Judith Taverner and her younger, sillier brother Peregrine have been recently orphaned, and with spirited curiosity they decide to seek out their new guardia...
First romance novel I ever read. I guess if you have to start a new genre you start with one of the very best!
