Meh. Heyer, you can do better than this. And I'd wager that you knew that when you wrote this, too. Was the rent due soon or something? You've done this better elsewhere... about twenty times. It is a classic cats and dogs fighting couple who hate each other on sight and then soften and fall in love pretty quickly. I liked the hero a lot, which is the only reason I finished the book. Simple, no nonsense, no heroics, rude, seemed like an actual man. The heroine sucked. If only because Heyer felt ...more

This was well-written and diverting, as I expected, but less satisfying than Frederica. The romance seemed a bit rushed, and indeed this was the shortest Heyer book I've yet read. The hero was more excessively rude than usual and managed to win the heroine over without charming me first; a serious flaw in a romance novel.

Georgette is the queen of "regency" romances, though she has written books that are earlier than regency, and some that are almost farces. Her dialog is fantastic, her grasp of the period (and the slang) is amazing. I like some a lot better than others, but worth reading all of them.

Very cute, if slightly less exciting than some of her other novels. No one gets into any sort of interesting scrapes or embroils themselves in any scandals, sadly. The dialogue, however, is absolutely fantastic: witty, super-fast, and a lot of fun.

I love Jane Austen and I really like regency romances. It's kind of embarrassing to admit that but I do. It's that side of me that's a hopeless romantic. This was a pretty good book and my first of many Georgette Heyer's to come.

I pulled this off the shelf of all the Georgette Heyer's books my mom owned. I've read it before, but felt like an excursion into Regency England ala Heyer.

The pot had definintely been boiled too many times...No plot at all and a hero without any definition!

I really like Georgette Heyer, Regency romantic comedy, a bit more interesting than most romance.

All the best elements of a Heyer romance with none of the unbelievable plot contrivances.

Not as good as my favorite Georgette Heyer book, <book:A Civil Contract>, but amusing.
