    <body><![CDATA[Originally published in 1934, <u>The Convenient Marriage</u> is one of Georgette Heyer's earlier romances, and although the author is credited with inventing the &quot;Regency Romance&quot; genre, belongs more to the Georgian school. I understand that Heyer was quite embarassed by these Georgian romances, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25112333">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I LOVED this book.  I found it by searching for popular books here on Goodreads.  Heyer's writing style is fairly fast-paced.  It reads almost like a movie plot.  Hilariously funny, great characters, humorous plot twists, and a decent romance to boot!  Definitely worth the read.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed The Convenient Marriage. What a fun, light, and sweet read this was. There's plenty of interesting characters and the plot has good twists and turns. I liked Horry's character, although she annoyed me a little at times with her foolishness. I did like Rule's character, lucky for Hor...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56326355">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was one of the first books I read by Heyer and it has remained one of my favourites ever since. I reread it recently and since I had never written a review I decided to do it this time. I'm happy to say that I enjoyed it as much as the first time.<br/><br/>The Earl of Rule has decided it's ti...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68716124">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love this author! Georgette Heyer has been around for a very long time, yet with the reissue of her many novels she is attracting a new generation. The Convenient Marriage is my third Heyer, and second romance that I have read of hers. The blurb above really tells the gist of the story, so I am no...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49346490">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I thoroughly enjoyed the play of words and interplay of characters, some of whom, like the heroine and her brother are a bit naïve but developing as they go along.  Others, such as the Earl of Rule and his nemesis Lethbridge, are strong and intelligent men who, were they less possessed of self cont...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/33074201">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I gave this one 4 stars because it's Georgette Heyer, although I think it's really a 3 1/2 star book.  I LOVED Rule, but Horry got on my nerves through most of the middle of the book. She was a sweet kid. She was just a kid.  and Pel and Pom?
