3.5 stars (the +0.5 come from the ending)I enjoyed this book but a little bit less than what I was expecting. I don't know if it was the setting (Heyer is much more versed in English society than French) or the couple (I was rooting for another hero for the most part of the book) or the heroine hers...
I think I'm too much a product of my time. Having a hero who was 40yrs and a heroine who was 19, combined with the hero constantly calling her infant and for 80% of the story portraying her as very young, innocent, and wide-eyed, I couldn't and didn't want to buy into their romance. If you liked ...
I've heard somewhere that the romance genre is less demanding as to the plot, characterization, and writing quality. Though I still cannot understand why.This one demonstrates it all too clearly. It starts out well enough, with the absolutely brilliant protagonist who can do no wrong even if frequen...
A very entertaining historical romance with plenty of action that moved right along. The intrigues of the plot kept my interest throughout and made the May/December romance work. All the characters had enjoyable personalities. Justin, the Duke of Avon, rescues a boy Leon in a back alley who turns...
For a book like this, I'd say you're wasting time reading reviews, because please just get hold of a copy and read it yourself. Not because of its length - my paperback copy numbers it at 347 pages - but because it's so easy to read, so fun, that you're either going to finish it in no time, or you'l...
La pedina Scambiata - Primo libro della Heyer e devo dire che sono rimasta molto stupita. Amante della letteratura Regency ed in particolar modo di Jane Austen mi sono imbattuta in quest'opera con scetticismo. Ma per fortuna pagina dopo pagina questa grandissima autrice รจ stata in grado di incantarm...
The Duke of Avon is the first "bad boy" I ever read about, way back in my pre-dinosaur days. He's cool as ice, wickedly clever, and more than a little ruthless (seriously, you do NOT want to get on his bad side!) but he's perfect with - and for - his lady love, Leonie. I've never read any character ...
This was a great story. I didn't even miss the sex. Despite being written years ago, it didn't feel the least bit dated. Loved the hero with his bad self and his little "quizzing glass." The heroine was free and sassy, even as a servant, but I thought she could be a little air-headed at times and...
