But Miss Taverner begins to move in the highest circles of society and Lord Worth can't do a thing about it ...

While Heyer's sparkling Regency romances usually depicted the secondary nobility, with an occasional Duke, in Regency Buck, Heyer mixes her fictional characters with real-life personages of the highest of the haut ton-the circle of the Prince Regent and his brothers (all huge men with huge appetites), and Beau Brummell, the famous dandy who single-handedly set the fashions for male attire and manners.

Reviewers say:
"Clever!"-Library Journal

"Georgette Heyer is unbeatable."-Sunday Telegraph

"Light and frothy, in the vein of the author's other Regency novels, this follows the fortunes of Miss Judith Taverner and her brother, Sir Peregrine. A good introduction to Heyer's period stories..." -The Booklist

Readers say:
"Wholly captivating!"

"I have read all of Georgette Heyer's books, and Regency Buck remains my favorite-after a few dozen readings! The mysterious plot, the wonderful dialogue, the splendid Regency settings, the chemistry between the impulsive heroine and the sardonic hero-all these add up to a Regency masterpiece and the ultimate rainy night comfort read!"

"The conversation sparkles, the characters are real, and the descriptions stand before you. Can't miss it."

"Georgette Heyer has no equal when it comes to that wonderful brand of Regency fun and laughter. Her research is so true to that age I feel as though I am riding in Hyde Park with the characters, or on the battlefield at Waterloo, Regency Buck lead me to read An Infamous Army and many of her other wonderful books."

"Regency Buck has lots of fun and humorous scenes that would make you laugh. As always, the ending is a pleasant surprise and a happy one. It makes you believe in love all over again."]]> 1935 3 2 false Thu Jun 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 18:05:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 18:06:07 -0700 2009 Judith Taverner and her younger, sillier brother Peregrine have been recently orphaned, and with spirited curiosity they decide to seek out their new g...more...]]> 62151628 76129 6567806 1 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6567806-regency-buck 3.83 6 1935 3 0 false Sat Jul 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 04 15:50:06 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 13:57:51 -0700 2009 Judith Taverner and her younger, sillier brother Peregrine have been recently orphaned, and with spirited curiosity they decide to seek out their new g...more...]]> 52446848 736266 311127 0099465582 9780099465584 46 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/311127.Regency_Buck 3.85 658 1935 3 0 false Mon Apr 20 13:41:50 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 12 19:24:48 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 13:41:50 -0700 2009 Georgette Heyer's books are some of their favorite "comfort reads" to which they return over and over.
