Love Georgette Heyer, and enjoyed this novel in which the romantic hero named Ajax is close in age to the heroine (not always the case in Heyer's romances), is a gentle giant of a man (also unusual), and speaks with a broad Yorkshire accent! No wonder the heroine is bewildered. The title is very apt.

Glad you enjoyed it Elinor. We read it as a group read late in 2014 & you are more than welcome to add your thoughts to those threads. :)
Oh, dear -- I missed that one. Thanks for pointing it out.

Also, many of us are always re-reading the books and are very happy to enter into discussions about them at any time.
This used to be not one I liked.. One thing was that Anthea didn't have any other suitors.. I like the heroine to have some options. But I fell in love with Hugo as I got older..

Nice video - that series looks interesting.What was that village right by the sea? The road went right down to the sea, it was awesome. Is the English seacoast normally that tumultuous? Waves crashing, harsh coastline, magnificent! Is that the South part of England?

Thanks for sharing- I love that actor (Tony Robinson), I know him from different British comedies I’ve seen - was he on Blackadder?

Baldrick! Just looked him up - that was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen!
A number of English villages have roads that go right down to the sea, including (I believe) Rye and Lyme Regis. And yes, the English Channel does tend to be pretty tumultuous in certain seasons.

Yes, many parts of the British coastline are 'tumultuous' with waves crashing against the cliffs. Britain is, after all, a group of islands surrounded by the Irish Sea, the English Channel and in part, the Atlantic Ocean, and all of them have strong tides. My father lives in a place just like that - it's in the far south west of England.

In this particular video that village is Robin Hood's Bay on the North Sea if I'm not mistaken.
