Wow. Props to Heyer, honestly, I'm thoroughly sold on the couple, even with the age difference (which she sensibly recognises)

Anyone know what being "born without a shirt" means?

right, I give up on doing anything productive today. I'm just really enjoying this

"As one who had figured for years as the most brilliant catch on the Matrimonial Market, he was accustomed to meet with every artifice designed to ensnare him; and it was with approbation that he recognized the younger Miss Merriville's unconcern."

Well, you know, Alverstoke, you're pretty old, so.......

This opening already made the book worth it. I want every romance author who writes melodramatic, drawn-out plots about grasping relatives to READ THIS SCENE, for a quick and expedient set down. This is how you do it!

I'm on the lookout for romance novels (historical, contemporary, whatever). Rec me some of your faves!

"A shocking number of people, it turned out, had noticed Joan's disappearance with Tristan at the Brentwood ball."

uncool development

"That was the last straw. When he found himself curious to know her thoughts on plumbing, he gave up the pretense of disinterest. The next day he went to South Audley Street."

lmaoo he's so in loooove, what a cutie pie

they are so cuteeeee

Omggg this book is a delight

Having fun with this one - the heroine is a riot

THIS IS EVIL, LYNCH. YOU BASTARD

No. no. no nononono. no no no. no

Jean and his gf are so cute. Please don't kill her, Lynch

Maybe this book didn't need to be so long

"Harriet was polite and friendly to her aunt, as she was to her father" Now this trope - forgiveness of shitty family members - is one I REALLY hate. They literally kidnapped her, locked her in the attic, starved her and then tried to have her committed to an insane asylum. Why the fuck does she have to continue to be polite to and invited her relatives to her home???????

"[Rom] accepted without question Isobel's version of what had happened" That's quite a stretch for the sake of drama, isn't it? Why would this grown-ass, wordly man believe anything out of the mouth of the woman who already betrayed him quite spectacularly once?

Talk to each other, you idiotssss!!!!!!!!!

How thick is Romain, though. Listen you twat, if you don't ask a girl to marry you, how is she supposed to know you want to marry her?

You know what, I take it back about this book being absurdly good. I'm going to go with "moderately ok" for now. It just lost about 2 stars for the white saviour bulllllshit.

You guys. This book is absurd, and absurdly good. I've been holding my breath for this entire chapter over which girl is going to come out naked from a cake. Not joking, this is a pivotal point in the story.

"conventional to the last, he retired to his bedroom, took out his father's army revolver and blew out his brains" well... fuck.

Made the mistake of reading this book while listening to some Tchaikovsky waltzes - now it's raining on my face.

False alarm!!!
