I do like Georgette Heyer though. Yeah there’s no nookie, but she has a way with words that’s so darn funny! Maybe it was a wrong choice with this particular book, but I don’t think Carla Kelly’s writing can really compare.
And Dulce, I loved the ref to George Constanza! Hilarious but true.

It is always a rare treat to read interactions between the infamous thin pale lady and one of you gals. :)) OK I shall never read this book; add me to the shallow bandwagon. No way would I choose George Constanza over a hawt duke. The sacrilege!!

I read my first Georgette Heyer (Venetia) on my 13th birthday (holy crap, that was 47 years ago!), and I still think she’s one of the finest writers of romance ever. No hot sex, true, but it was my first introduction to the alpha male and my newly discovered libido went “OMG-I want some of that!” I’ve only read a couple of Carla Kelly’s, but don’t think there’s any comparison - Heyer is witty, and charming and funny as hell. “Tall, dark and ducal” — also funny as hell.

I am not (too much) sorry to say *sheepishly looking down* that I have an entire shelf in my kept pile of regency romances….

Oh, Ms. Lola…you do have a way with words. *snicker* Books like this are why I’m not a fan of Ms. Heyer. Ms. Austen, yes. Ms. Heyer, no.
