Title: Mature Woman vs. Ingenue
Review: Being a woman of certain age, I am not into romance novels featuring ingenues anymore. Even with Ms Heyer's books, I prefer the ones featuring "older" women than 18-year-olds.I read both Lady of Quality and Black Sheep back to back. I must say that I like Black Sheep more. First of all, the contrast of what love means to a 17-year-old and to a 28-year-old is so funny and right on that I could not help but chuckle whenever Fanny (ingenue) declared her undying love for Stacy the cad. The conversations between Abby (Mature Woman) and Miles (Hero) are also full of humor and word play. Their verbal sparring is never tiresome and always witty. Ms Heyer deserved to be compared to Jane Austen.
