    <body><![CDATA[Way too much fun. This one reads like an early novel because it has a lot of &quot;this is Regency!&quot; moments. Paragraphs full of boxing-lingo that kind of go nowhere, extra long descriptions of everyone's costumes, a little too much information about cock fighting than we needed... but honestly...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50742309">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I loved this book!! So fun- I really enjoy Georgette Heyer-Her books, writing, and female heroines are so well developed and remind me so much of Jane Austen's work. They are quite alike!<br/>This is one of my favorites of hers-&quot;These Old Shades&quot; is another one of hers very much worth che...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45008849">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was my first Georgette Heyer book, and I really enjoyed it.  This Regency romance novel will delight Jane Austen fans as well as those who find Austen's stories a little too slow.  <br/><br/>Judith Travener and her brother Peregrine are wealthy orphans who travel to London to meet their guard...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37826778">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[If you enjoy this genre (this genre being a mushy English love story) this book will totally entertain you. I love that Judith has a backbone. She has confidence, a feisty temper, as well as a mischievous brother to contend with. There is plenty of mystery and adventure in this novel.   ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is another top Georgette Heyer novel. She writes interesting characters, funny incidents, and delightful dialogue. This novel has some clever twists to the plot. I've probably read this five times at least. It's my mother's favorite Heyer novel and close to being mine.]]></body>

Can't for the life of me remember if I read this in my teens, when I devoured every Georgette Heyer in the Hamilton Public Library.

    <body><![CDATA[My first Georgette Heyer and I really did enjoy it.... the only thing that spoiled it for me was that it did race to a conclusion rather more quickly than I'd have liked - an awful lot of action and exposition in the last 5 pages! I'll be reading more, though.]]></body>
