Product Description

Product Description
The Earl of Spenborough always had been noted for his eccentricity. Leaving a widow younger than his own daughter Serena was one thing; leaving his fortune to the trusteeship of the Marquis of Rotherham - the one man the same daughter had jilted - was quite another. In a tangle of marriage and manners the like of which even Regency Bath has rarely seen, Lady Serena finds herself involved with her lovely young stepmother, Lord Rotherham and her own childhood sweetheart.

About the Author
Author of over fifty books, Georgette Heyer is the best-known and best-loved of all historical novelists, who made the Regency period her own. Her first novel, The Black Moth, published in 1921, was written at the age of fifteen to amuse her convalescent brother; her last was My Lord John. Although most famous for her historical novels, she also wrote eleven detective stories. Georgette Heyer died in 1974 at the age of seventy-one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A mature romance, 18 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Bath Tangle (Paperback)
This is a slight oddity amongst Georgette Heyer's books, in that the hero isn't 'on stage' much, and at the end of it (though it's very satisfying) one has some doubts that he and the heroine can possibly manage to stop fighting long enough to settle down to married life! However, the heroine is a terrific character, and the basic premise of the book, i.e. what happens when a peer dies without a male heir and his family are shoe-horned out of their stately home by a distant and far less worthy relative, is a fascinating one, handled with great insight and sympathy. One of the things I love about Heyer is the skill with which she fleshes out her characters, giving them faults along with their good qualities and developing her plots from their foibles with perfect logic.

5.0 out of 5 stars A battle of wills that keeps everyone on their toes..., 23 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Bath Tangle (Paperback)
In this Heyer our heroine Serena has been mistress of her father's house for years and has enjoyed her independence. So when her father dies and leaves her to the guardianship of Ivo Rotherham, the man he had always wanted her to marry but who she had ended up jilting 7 years earlier, Serena is furious. This is one of Heyer's most successful relationships because her characters are so very human! It is irrelevant whether the story is predictable or not, with Heyer's books it is the journey that is most fun!

4.0 out of 5 stars Going against the grain, I loved this!, 22 Oct 2006
By Roman Clodia (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Mature and yet still witty, funny, moving and romantic - I far prefer the heroine to some of the simpering, pretty, child-women in some of the other Heyer romances and liked the bite of her relationship with her hero. Yes, they bicker, but there was real passion in their relationship and she more than holds her own. Reminds me of jane Austen - a huge compliment to Heyer!
