I was actually rooting for the cousin in this novel. (

Pleasant look into the Regency period without too much depth to drag the light plot. Not one of this author's best, but worth reading for anyone who appreciates the genre. (

fuzzi | Nov 19, 2020 |

A beautiful heiress, a reluctant guardian, cock-fights, duels of honour, carriage races, well-dressed dandies, poison, kidnapping and (of course) a couple of marriage engagements. What else could you want? An entertaining read. Younger brother Perry offers comedic relief throughout the book. There is, however, one uncomfortable scene (a la "metoo") near the beginning of the book that doesn't look too good to modern eyes. (

After publishing eighteen books, ten of them historical, Georgette Heyer finally turned to the period that she would make her own: the Regency, in a book titled, appropriately enough, Regency Buck.

And oh, it’s awful.

Well, maybe not awful. Let us just say not very good. ...

The failed romance and the borrowings from Pride and Prejudice are, alas, not the only problems with this novel, which suffers from two other problems: one, it is frequently dull, partly because two, it contains far, far, far, far far too much dropping of historical facts.

Newark was left behind and the post-chaise-and-four entered on a stretch of flat country which offered little to attract the eye, or occasion remark.
