Review: The Corinthian by Georgette Heyer

The Corinthian ranks in my top 5 favorite Georgette Heyers to date. My favorite things about this novel: The hero and heroine spend a majority of the book in each other’s presence. The heroine cross-dresses to look like a young lad for most of the novel with the hero helping her in her disguise. The [...]

Review: The Convenient Marriage by Georgette Heyer

by Keira 07.06.2011

by Keira 06.22.2011

Faro’s Daughter by Geogette Heyer is an excellent read, but fairly short. The whole story gets told in 285 pages. This is one of the first novels of hers that I’ve read that has a lot of lead interaction. In fact they’re nearly at each others throats in every other scene. It makes for a [...]

She is picked up by Viscount Ashley Desford and whisked away in his curricle as blasé as anything you please. He [...]
