    <body><![CDATA[Not one of Heyer's best, but an enjoyable read. This one is mostly a comedy of manners, and while it's never laugh-out-loud funny, I read it with a smile on my face.<br/><br/>The romance is quite weak, although I was glad that the story didn't go in the direction I first expected.

    <body><![CDATA[Charity Girl is an enjoyable Regency Romance by Georgette Heyer. It is one of her later novels, and it perhaps loses a little of the charm that made her books sparkle in previous years. But it is an enjoyable read nonetheless. Charity Girl is similar in plotting-but-not-pacing to an earlier novel, S...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39876682">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm conflicted about the four stars, but I'm rating it based on how much I enjoyed it, because for a book like this that counts more than, say, overarching literary merit.  Is this a really brilliantly written work of fiction?  No.  It is, however, very charming and fun, and, uh, I don't know how to...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49635244">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This one was kind of annoying.  Too many uses of old-fashioned exclamations like &quot;goosiegamin&quot; and &quot;bosom-bows&quot; and other things that no longer make sense.  Every other word, I swear.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this merely to have something to read. The story was engaging enough.  If you are looking for a book that has a decent plot line and are in the mood for an Austen-style story this is a good book for it.]]></body>

Adventure, mischance, misunderstanding, family dynamics, humour, and a happy ending all around. Loved Desford and Hetta, especially together.

    <body><![CDATA[Heyer phoned this one in. The plot she's used several times before (and the last couple of times with diminishing success) with awful characters and conversations that go on and out without any wit. I suspect by this time she was thoroughly sick of the Regency, and and was not getting edited at all....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55280966">more...</a>]]></body>
