April Lady Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This one is pretty well The Convenient Marriage recycled, with a few other elements recycled from other books of Heyer's. Of course, it could well be the reverse, because I don't know the chronology of her books - just the order in which I read them. This one's dialogue isn't nearly so fast-paced and brilliant as in other books of Heyer's. I still really enjoyed this one, though I will have to take a break from Heyer for a few reads. She's getting a bit too fluffy to keep reading straight through all her works. "

" I find it difficult to enjoy a book when I don't really care for the protagonist: Nell is sweet, but rather insipid. On the other hand, I began by really liking Cardross, but since he just stayed the same through the whole book, his character was kind of disappointing, too. There just wasn't anything worth recommending about this book. "

" This ended way better than I thought it was going to. Even though most elements are recycled from other of her books, I was still reading really fast at the end. Another fast, fun read. "

" I have been re-reading some Georgette Heyer, and it's fun. I was surprised at how long-winded she sometimes seems to be, however. "

" More fun for the stressed. Best part of this book is that we can see exactly where it's going, but not the innumerable twists on the way. "

" 2.5 stars. It was a little better than just okay. Georgette Heyer is very hit and miss, I adore some of her books and others not so much. "

" This book took me a little while to get into but once I did it was a fun read and a cute story. Only people who enjoy the Jane Austen type books will really get into this. "

" I know, a three for Georgette Heyer. But its hard for me to read when the supporting characters take on a life of their own and are really really annoying. I like the books much better when they stick with the main characters. Still, sweet book, cute love story. Predictable but cute. "

" A charming story. Nell's innocence is so refreshing. "

" I think I liked this one more in theory than I did in execution. But I really did like the ending. "

" Not one of my favorites but even the lesser Heyer offerings are better than most other historical romance writers. "

" Although written in 1957, this was a nice little period novel. It had the flavor of Anna Karenina, but it could never be boring as that piece of rubbish. I have to check out the other books she has written... "

" Not my favorite Georgette Heyer but unlike others I liked this better than A Convenient Marriage. "

" I love that Heyer can write a romance where the main charters are already married and still keep in funny and intriguing. In the words of Heyer this book was all the crack. (Love the slang) "

" Another of my favorite Heyers. Its a mix of the serious and the silly which just works for me. The scene near the end when Cardross confronts his wife is one of my favorites and I'll reread the book just so that I can experience that emotion again. "

" Not as good as I had hoped. Very typical plot with okay characters. I had heard good things about Georgette Heyer, but after reading April Lady I decided not to open any of her other books. "

" I couldn't wait to finish this book just to get it over. I'm mad at myself for even finishing it when there are so many other good books out there. "

" I finished it just to get it off my list. Not one of my top favorite GH stories but then again all of her stuff is on my re-read list. ;-) "

" A wonderful example of why communication is so imperative in a relationship. Sometimes I wanted to shake the silly girl and tell her to just talk to her husband! Ah well, still humorous... "

" Well-written but rather too irritating with such an insipid heroine. "

" Great Valentine's Day read! Nell Pevensey and Giles Cardross take the lead, followed by Letty Cardross and Jeremy Allandale, with Dysart Pevensey and Felix Hethersett pulling up the respectable rear. "

" This was another fun romance. It wasn't her best, but I liked it. "

" Another of my favorite Heyers. Its a mix of the serious and the silly which just works for me. The scene near the end when Cardross confronts his wife is one of my favorites and I'll reread the book just so that I can experience that emotion again. "

" Charming and witty regency tale of a very young bride who gets caught in her white lies. Full of regency slang--all the crack! "

" Another charming Heyer story. Her books set in the Regency were her tour de force. "

" A wonderful example of why communication is so imperative in a relationship. Sometimes I wanted to shake the silly girl and tell her to just talk to her husband! Ah well, still humorous... "

" Good, but she is a peagoose, as the other characters say. "
