I liked this fine, up to the point of two specific issues.1) It is repulsive how men are allowed to be considered morally upright and also keep mistresses, have affairs, etc. It is regarded as justifiable. And yet a woman so much as spends an hour in the company of someone who is considered disgrace...
This is my January read from the Dead Writer's Society.I have never read Georgette Heyer before but I am going to have to add this author to my must read list for 2016 I think. I don't have much free book time these days it feels like.This book was snappy, funny, and the hero and heroine were wonder...

Also, you can never miss a little boy who actually behaves like a littl...
I loved it! Loved everything about it. Sylvester was charmingly arrogant and Phoebe was willful and a loose cannon. The combination of the the two characters, explosive! I rather like the meddlesome grandmother to Phoebe and the mother of Sylvester. Edward, the ward and nephew of Sylester was a hoot...
