Venetia (Abridged) Audiobook

" I enjoyed Venetia up until the last page. The last paragraph didn't fit the rest of the book. "

" Enough already! We get the point that Damerel is a rake. Do we have to be reminded of it every third or fourth page? Frequent references to sleeping around smack of pride rather than shame about what he has done. Venetia is elated when she finally gets engaged to the amoral womanizer. I wanted to gag. This is the last Georgette Heyer book I will read. "

" Just finished this book. I thought I had read most of Heyer's but was pleasantly surprised to find one that I have not! It did not disappoint... "

" Of the Heyer novels I've read (7 or so) I thought this was the best. "

" Completely adorable, a wonderful mix of fun, fluff and historical romance. "

" Liked venetia more as I read along. By the end I was totally involved in it. Georgette Heyer would have been a fun person to know. "

" This was fun. Clever, witty, slightly over-the-top fun. With an amusing and geekily eccentric younger brother. "

" Georgette Heyer definitely has a turn for clever dialogue. "

" Not the greatest book, but worth every penny for 5 hours of Richard Armitage! "

" Loved the story but Aubrey got on my nerves a bit. "

" Abridged audiobook, read by Richard Armitage. Yes, please! "

" I'm not normally one for regency romance novels, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one. "

" Georgette Heyer was a great storyteller. This book beat around the bush a little. "

" I adore Georgette Heyer! She has such great characters and wonderful dialogue. I'm glad so wrote so many wonderful stories that I can read and re-read over and over. "

" For a beach-read romance, very good. "

" I love Georgette Heyer if for no other reason than her books just don't make you work. I think this is my favorite after "The Grand Sophy". "

" funny! And so unpredictable. only Georgette Heyer can weave a plot so effortlessly! "

" Any book that's supposed to be based in the Victorian era that ends with a, "I don't expect you to change for me, you can continue to have your orgies or whatever they're called" is a FAIL "

" Georgette Heyer might be the Danielle Steele of her day--a prolific romance writer who could create a unique character. This one is a winner-so many examples of good writing in witty exchanges, an unpleasant woman, a meeting of two dilatantes(sp). "

" A very satisfying romance if you like reformed rakes, with a bit too much wrangling to put blocks in the way of Our Lovers. Still, Venetia is a nicely created character and everyone is pretty likeable in this book. "

" I was going to give this book only four stars, but it was so lovely and joyous, and Venetia is such a delightful heroine that I couldn't help myself. Read this. Now. "

" This may be Heyer's best developed romance, definitely the most passionate with the "green" Venetia stealing the heart of the wicked rake Dameral with her stunning beauty and quick-wit. "

" An utterly charming and captivating heroine Venetia is. Everyone warns the ladies to stay away from a "reformed rake" but poor Venetia cannot resist Damarel. Another of Heyer's memorable best. "

" I absolutely loved this book! Georgette Heyer takes you to a whole different world. This book is perfect to escape for a while. This is my third Heyer novel, and she still has not disappointed me! Looking forward to reading another:) "

" Venetia Lanyon and Lord Jasper Damerel, the rake "

" Just listened to this and it was so fun and charming!! Richard armitage reading it wasn't so bad either. "

" Witty dialogue, likeable characters and a sweet romance make this book a delightful read. I read this first many years ago but I think I probably enjoyed it better the second time round. "

" I read this a while ago and can't remember precisely, but I recall enjoying the book. It wasn't one that I considered a "keeper" to buy or re-read... But I've heard her other works are better, so I may look into them. "

" I enjoyed this very much. Liked it for a quick read. "

" Loved it, quite funny. Also loved the leading carachter. "

" A delightful Heyer book, with a fun heroine, and even a plotline that was a surprise to me. "

" loved this book. one of my favorite georgette heyers. "

" About four stars for the book, but five for the audio-book ... Richard Armitage is superb! "

" This was light, entertaining, and witty. But, oh the double standards.... "
