I first bought this book at an old bookstore when I was looking for novels by Georgette Heyer. I had read online that her works could be compared to Jane Austen’s, so I had to investigate. I had my misgivings about a book labeled as regency romance; however, I was pleasantly suprised. This book is hilarious! I was constantly laughing or smiling. While Austen provides small touches of humor, Heyer adroitly spreads it all throughout the novel.
