"Short, fun read with Heyer's trademark delightful characters, and believable cant/slang of the Regency period. A young lady is forced into a sham engagement with one of her adopted cousins, to be free of her guardian's country home. In her first trip to London, she becomes embroiled in her cousins' problems and has to decide whether she really wants to marry one of her cousins."

    " This one was a little different than the other Heyer books I've read, which was refreshing. The hero was not her usual type, and I liked him. I was very glad it turned out the way it did. Fun as always. "

    " This is one of my favorite books. It is light and fun. Freddie is one of my favorite charecters, period. By the last chapter I am smilling the whole time. As Ms. Prism says in "The Importance of Being Earnest" when asked if the three volume novel she wrote ended happily, "For the good it did, and for the bad unhappily. That is what fiction means." "

    " One of my favorites as the hero and heroine are atypical for a romance book. Lots of humor around the strict manners of the time. If you want the tall dark handsome hero, this may not be for you. "

    " What a delightful story. I was definitely in the mood for an upbeat, lighthearted, regency book and this hit the nail on the head. This is the first Heyer book that I have read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. "

    " Freddy and Kitty are wonderful characters, and Freddy's father is just perfect. Heyer has a way with dialog that just makes you laugh out loud. Her finely drawn characters are like old friends that you want to visit over and over. This is one of my favorites. "

    " One of Heyer's books, it just gets better every time I read it. It has some of Heyer's best comic scenes, some of her best comical characters, and a wholly original romance. Lurv lurv lurv. "

    " No matter how often I re-read this, it still cracks me up. Kit & Freddy have to be two of the biggest nitwits to ever grace a page. The dialogue is delicious and Heyer demonstrates that (yet again) she writes the most engaging twits outside of Wodehouse. "

    " Why is this classified as a romance? Though it is full of marriage plots, no one is in love with each other. The language is odd for a regency period. I notice that it is in lists with Pride and Prejudice... What? I really liked the hero Freddy, if you could call him a hero.. "

    " What fun this book was. It was very long. Kept me in suspense for a very long time. I just couldn't figure out who Kitty was going to end up with for sure. Now if I could just remember the cant better it would be easier. Wow, so many cousins with dilemmas, so little time. "

    " A fun romance, reminded me of Jane Austen. I enjoyed it very much. I had a little trouble with the slang of the period, which I suppose is authentic, but I got the jist of it. I want to read more from this author. "
