Product Description

Review
"Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire to." - Katie Fforde"

Product Description
When the new Lady Cardross begins to fill her days with fashion and frivolity, the Earl has to wonder whether she did really only marry him for his money, as his family so helpfully suggests. And now Nell doesn't dare tell him the truth...What with the concern over his wife's heart and pocket, sorting out her brother's scrapes and trying to prevent his own half sister from eloping, it is no wonder that the much-tried Earl almost misses the opportunity to smooth the path of true love in his marriage...

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not her very best, 6 Mar 2007
I enjoyed this story very much like most of this author's work. By the end of it, you will be convinced that trying to sweep problems under the carpet is a very bad idea indeed! Once again the minor characters are brilliantly drawn. The exchanges between Nell, her immaculate cousin-in-law Felix, and her inebriated brother had me laughing out loud. One tiny gripe - Apart from being a spendthrift, Nell is a bit of a goody-two-shoes. I so wanted her to shout back at her husband when he makes an outrageous accusation against her.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not her strongest Novel, 16 Nov 2007
By Mrs. K. A. Wheatley "katywheatley" (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
There is always much to love about a Heyer novel. Her superb sense of history and place. The wonderful dialogue and the artfully drawn characters. This book however, strikes me as one of her weaker efforts. The heroine, Nell, is considerably more weedy than the usual bright, intelligent women she characterises. Nell is unsure and at times downright feeble. Her issues with debt and her 'owing' her husband fealty and respect, make her powerless for much of the book, which is a shame. The hero is also slightly unsympathetic, being convinced his wife has married him for money rather than love, but not being able to talk to her about it. It's a good book, despite my reservations, and if there weren't so many fantastic Heyer books out there, I would be more impressed, but it just doesn't quite cut the mustard with me.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Touch of Reality at Last, 21 April 2008
By Isabel Birney (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an interesting and thoughtful book,in which Heyer gets closer to the realities of a woman's life in Georgian England. Girls were frequently expected to marry for the sake of their family - both in Georgian England and later. (Consider Consueloe Vanderbilt and her disastrous marriage to the Duke of Marlborough in Edwardian times.)The book is not the usual Regency romp but an exploration of the adjustments people have to make in order for a marriage to be a success. Nell is very young, romantic and foolish at the start of the book. Her new husband is emotionally unintelligent. She has to learn to make decisions for herself and not for the sake of her mother or her profligate brother. Her husband has to grow up in a different way. They learn to understand each other during the course of the book and as each changes and matures the possibility for real love and mutual respect become more likely. So there isn't the usual 'happy ever after' ending but there is the possibility that these two may make a good and honest marriage after a disastrous start. This is an interesting and thoughtful book - and, in places, a very amusing and entertaining one.
