I would like to read this so I'll be checking in with the library and see if they have this one.
I have this in my personal Georgette Heyer library, so this looks like a good time for a reread...
Looks good. I don't think I've ever read a GH book. Hope I can get to it.
Great, my library has it.
Mine doesn't :(

Mine is part of a network of libraries who loan books to each other. I pay $1 for the shipping cost, or if I want them to look further away $3 and they send them over to my library.
If my library can find it I will be reading it. I've never even heard of this book but it sounds like something I might like.

I've been trying to find a copy, but no luck so far. I may have to order it.
I'd like to read this again.
I read Arabella, Heather
My copy of
which I've had since the late 70's early 80's.I've always quite enjoyed it but it isn't in my top tier of Georgette Heyer books.
I'll come back and talk when a few people have read it :)
When are we reading this?
Lisa Kay wrote: "Nope. I didn't read Arabella... didn't get to it. **sigh**"My fave GH book. I remember first reading it in the early 1970's - I was gobsmacked! Lol.
I love Beaumaris.

I have it on my kindle - don't know if I can lend to you though. Not done it before. What do you think?
In UK p/back is £7.99 and ebook £5.49, and audio is priced out of this world!How does that compare with USA or CAN?
I think GH books are always priced high here in UK.
It is on sale at audible.com for $13.69 right now in the US.
Lisa Kay wrote: "It is on sale at audible.com for $13.69 right now in the US."I can get it for low price of £3.49 with Amazon audible because I have the ebook.
Otherwise, it is £19.69. That's daylight robbery!
Wow, I just checked & its AU$10.44 on spec usually $16.84 at Amazon Aus, US Amazon has it for $7.92 and Omnilit (allromanceebooks) has it for US$10.99 & Better World Books has the pb for US$7.48. Much better to get it from a library or borrow from a friend at those prices, if you can.
I've got ebook and audio, and am willing to lend but don't know how, or even I can re licensing laws (or whatever law it is).
If you can lend it, Elaine, it is probably only once and only the eBook. Luckily, I can get the eBook from the library. Unfortunately, I'm moving and am short on time.
Well I hope you do get to read it.Good Luck with the move!
Thanks, Elaine. I'm getting there... even though I'm the slowest packer on God's Green Earth.
Finished listening to
.Audio book narrated by the wonderful June Barrie.
5*****
I don't think I've heard a book read by that narrator.
June Barrie has read the Miss Read books, amongst others, but only one GH. Oh, she's wonderful!
I read this book over the weekend and was quite entertained by it. I don't generally care for the more dandified members of the ton so was surprised at how much fun I had reading it. There were moments when the main character did drive me a bit batty with her snippiness but overall I found it to be a humorous book with a bit of romance, intrigue and a lot of comical moments in it.
I would have liked to have gotten a copy but didn't want to pay the price.

A novel set in Regency London and Brighton. It is in regrettable circumstances that beautiful Judith Taverner and her brother Peregrine first encounter Julian St. John Audley. The man, they both agree, is an insufferably arrogant dandy. But unfortunately for the orphans, he is also the Fifth Earl of Worth, a friend of the Regent and, quite by chance, their legal guardian...
Judith Taverner had captivated all London society. A bevy of elegant bachelors swarmed about her, vying for her favors. But then her brother suddenly vanished, she was forced to seek the aid of her mysterious guardian, the powerful Earl of Worth.
Once Judith had looked upon the Earl as a protector -- and then as something far more. But now she was gown up, worldly-wise... and prey to a chilling suspicion. For Judith was not only a bewitching young lady, but also heiress to a great fortune -- a bewildered creature trying to discover the difference between a man's love and a man's greed.
