Product Description

When the most eligible Earl of Rule offers for the hand of the Beauty of the Winwood Family, he has no notion of the distress he causes his intended. For Miss Lizzie Winwood is promised to the excellent, but impoverished, Mr Edward Heron. Disaster can only be averted by the delightful impetuosity of her youngest sister, Horatia, who conceives her own, distinctly original plans...

From the Publisher

One of best-known and most beloved historical novelists captures a whole new audience in a stunning repackage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why should true love find a way?, 20 Feb 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Convenient Marriage (Paperback)

One of Georgette Heyer's more intriguing tales. While the hero has obvious attractions (wealth, title, charm), why should a 35-year old with a beautiful mistress change his way of life for a 17-year old with a stammer, who is, at best, 'sufficiently pretty'? While having an excellent cast of supporting characters and an excellent sub-plot of long-burning hatred and revenge, it's the slow and subtle development of the hero and heroine's characters and relationship that makes me pick this book up again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't put it down and I couldn't stop laughing!, 15 Sep 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Convenient Marriage (Paperback)

Horry is an adorable imp while Rule in the best 'Heyerian' tradition is a rogue turned lovely and you don't know whether to hit him or kiss him! None of Heyer's books would be compleat without the 'fool' or fools. In this case the postitions have been admirably filled by Pelham (Horratia's brother) and his freinds. Whenever they are present in a sceane you will be crying for laughter! Although this is probably my favorit of all Heyer's novels I found it slightly lacking in the villan department, they didn't come up the the usual standard in iether ruthlessness or laughability. However that small crittasism aside, this is a wonderful book and is one that will be read over and over again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Regency-Heyer, 1 Feb 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Convenient Marriage (Paperback)

This is a Classic Georgette Heyer story: a feisty female heroine, a misunderstanding in love and of course a happy ending (sorry, hope I didn't spoil anything!). As stories go, this one is a little flimsy, however the characters are likeable enough with plenty of the Heyer wit to keep you reading. Enjoyable, but not un-put-down-able!
