La bella y perspicaz Venetia Lanyon vive con su hermano Aubrey en una mansión de Yorkshire. A sus veinticinco años, disfruta de una existencia apacible y razonablemente feliz, aunque sólo ha tenido dos aburridos pretendientes que no han logrado conquistar su corazón. Por suerte o por desgracia, todo cambia cuando el libertino y supuestamente depravado lord Damerel se instala en una propiedad vecina. Entre él y Venetia nacerán sentimientos a los que se opondrán con fuerza familia, amigos, conocidos e incluso el propio Damerel. Así pues, tendrá que ser Venetia quien, tras superar dudas y algún desengaño, se valga de toda su astucia para doblegar el destino y conseguir aquello que más desea.

I'll just say that I never really warmed up to Venetia, the softest emotion I felt for Damerel was pity, but the witty dialog and character i...
I ended up enjoying this book much more than I thought I would have after chapter 1. That bramble scene left me extremely sceptical - I could see no way Heyer would be able to adequately redeem Lord D. and make me buy into this romance. But the dialog was intelligent and snappy, and I liked Aubrey...
I'm probably ahead of some of you - I finished Venetia last night. I read this charming book before, of course, a couple of times, as I read every other Heyer’s romance novel, and my old review is here. Even though I wrote it 4 years ago, I stand by every word (*). So here are just a few notes to ad...
