Georgette Heyer is the virtually the creator of classic Regency romances as we know them today and, in my opinion, this is one of her best.
Finding so young and pretty a girl as Amanda wandering unattended, Sir Gareth Ludlow knows it is his duty to restore her to her family. But it is to prove no easy task for the Corinthian.
G. Heyer wrote some very good mysteries, which I've read. Her writing is so good that I also read her romances when I chance upon one. This one is a delight. The characters are well drawn, and there's a bit of mystery as to who is going to end up with who. Funny, too. Found myself laughing out loud as I read.
Warning: Slight Spoiler at the End....
This story was awesome! It was laugh out loud funny, and it has you wondering how it will turn out, but rooting for it to turn out a different way, and then, It does!
Everyone gets who they should; and you are so very happy for everyone involved.
**spoiler alert**
It did leave me wanting more history between Lady Hester and Gareth. How had she come to have such a regard for him? Had she felt this way since his first marriage? How much had she really known him? Her story should be told! I would have loved to have read THAT story. I felt like I had missed something...
