I am a lover of historical fiction and even better if it has a bit of romance included.  But I never would have started reading  Georgette Heyer if I had seen her books described as regency romances.  Most of that category today would not interest me.  But her books are witty, amusing, and charming with the vintage language used.  I can't say enough good things about the entertainment value of her books.  This one in particular has a lovable spirited heroine, and a hero who is strong, dashing, and wise enough to fall in love with his unlikely heroine. Can't wait to get on to the next book.  Good thing she was a prolific author!
