More 3,5-75This is my first ever Heyer book! I had not heard about her before I started book blogging but when I did she was everywhere and I was intrigued by this old icon. If you are reading historical romance then you should read her too, and now I finally have. I liked what I read, a lot. I can'...
I may be back to edit this several times as I don't think I fully expressed what I wanted to say as clearly as I wanted to say it. I should have been in bed long ago, but couldn't rest until I got some sort of review down. My second Heyer novel, and the second one that I fell in love with shortly ...
I loved this book! Probably my favorite Heyer novel so far. Venetia was a wonderful, bold heroine and her relationship with Damerel was just... exquisitely mismatched.
I like this one. It’s wickedly funny in places and very sweet in others. While I can say that in general I have problems with the rake motif, in this particular instance I felt like the personalities worked. Anyway, it makes me happy. [Oct. 2009]

Which is to say, by the end, I loved it and loved Venetia and Damerel's banter and relationship (That whole orgy banter! Be still my heart!) but as I was reading, it felt long in places. I had a harder time getti...
I squealed with increasing frequency as I read further and further into this book. Venetia Lanyon is beautiful, insightful, and sensible, but her selfish family members made it impossible for her to "come out" as a young lady. Now she's 25, a practically unmarriagable age, and still trapped in the...
I still have a fair number of Georgette Heyer's novels left to read, but Venetia has been my favorite so far. I loved it so much that I wrote a DIK review for it on AAR after I read it for the first time. Here is what I had to say:When you're longing to read a book with memorable characters and di...
