[509] Wed 27 Aug 2008, 15:52 - Margaret - from: United Kingdom Cartland probably copied her plots to some extent as she turned out her light romances in a couple of weeks and might have run out of ideas. All Heyer fans wonder who GH was going to sue for plagiarism when an author used her phrase "Cheltenham tragedy" in an historical romance. If you find it in one of them please let us know! Rating:

[508] Tue 26 Aug 2008, 11:35 - Minnie - from: India I'm a big fan of GH since 1980, but I have two books of hers which are very similar to two of Barbara Cartland's which were published later. Why is this so? Rating:

[507] Tue 26 Aug 2008, 10:33 - Valerie - from: Canada Hello: Has anyone read the Great Roxhythe? I believe I may have read it quite a number of years ago, but I can't remember the story line, nor the characters. I have tried in my library to look for it, but it's not available. Val Rating:

[506] Tue 19 Aug 2008, 15:41 - Hailey - from: Canada I love Heyer's books! I find them like Austens, but more exciting and funny. I have so many favorites its hard to choose, but here are some : Devils cub, regency buck, fridays child, these old shades, the corinthian (the ending is hilarious),and the quiet gentleman. Hoping to get a lot of her books as grad gifts this year!!! Rating:

[505] Mon 18 Aug 2008, 19:12 - Giya - from: Not Specified Hi Carmel Yes I have read Talisman ring and i think it is a very good one.Of course there are very few of her books I dont like though I must say I am not overly fond of These old shades - too cutesy for me. I have so many favourites , like Sylvester,Fridays child,The Grand Sophy,Devils cub,Bath Tangle....the list is long. Rating:

[504] Mon 18 Aug 2008, 18:55 - Giya - from: Not Specified Its a pleasure to be in this room and find others who enjoy escaping into Heyers world.I think Lord Worth is at least in his 30s.This is pure conjecture but also based on his manners which is like the older heros in The convenient marriage and April Lady Rating:

[503] Mon 18 Aug 2008, 09:05 - Anna Sarkissian - from: United States I just finished reading Regency Buck and I just loved it. However I couldn't decide how old the hero Lord Worth should have been. I am guessing either 29 or 34. Please let me know which one of these numbers is correct. I read several parts of the book again to decide, but couldn't. I hope there is someone there who can help me to decide. Thanks! Anna Rating:

[502] Sun 17 Aug 2008, 14:43 - Melissa Owens - from: United States My mother introduced me to Georgette Heyer many years ago with Lady of Quality. I have since read and re-read all of her Regency romances and some of her historical romances many, many times. Georgette Heyer remains among my favorite authors--I can easily get lost in her romances. Her subtle wit and sense of humor make the stories a fun read, and I also agree with a previous poster who enjoys the more practical heroines--they are among my favorites, as well! Thanks for providing such a great site devoted to my favorite author!! Rating:

[501] Wed 13 Aug 2008, 14:25 - Carmel - from: United States I have read so many of her books, I just don't in order that whay I can't get to confussed. I am going t read Fridays Child next. Has anyone read The Tailsman Ring? I really enjoyed that one also. Regency Buck is still a favorite. Rating:

[500] Sat 9 Aug 2008, 12:01 - Nicola Slade - from: United Kingdom I've just read Frederica again and realised all over again how much I love GH's 'sensible' heroines, such as Drusilla (Quiet Gentleman), Elinor (Reluctant Widow) and Jenny (Civil Contract). I'm fond of the skittery young ones too, but it's the quieter, capable girls I really love. Rating:

[499] Wed 6 Aug 2008, 06:46 - Anna Sarkissian - from: United States Hi Shenaz! I have read Black Sheep and Friday's Child, but haven't read Sylvester yet. I guess I need to buy that one :) Thanks for taking the time to get back to me. I just love this Home Page. It makes me happy that she has her own page. Have a great afternoon! Anna Rating:

[498] Tue 5 Aug 2008, 16:38 - Shenaz - from: United Kingdom Hey Anna! So pleased you enjoyed Devils Cub as much as I did. I agree; with Heyer the romance is mostly subtle and you must read between the lines. But you can see when Vidal begins to care for Mary. Love the ending too. My other favourite Heyers are Sylvester, Fridays Child and The Black Sheep. You must read them as I'm sure you'll enjoy them. They are witty and romantic and, like all Heyers, very well written with wonderful characters. x Rating:

[497] Tue 5 Aug 2008, 08:43 - Anna Sarkissian - from: United States Hi Shenaz! I bet I will read the book again and again. Thanks for responding. I loved the characters so much specially Mary and Vidal. It is funny how Vidal fell in love with her little by little. You can see it thru their dialogue. With Heyer you have to read between the lines :)I had to go back and re-read some parts to see when Vidal fell in love with Mary. We know almost from the beginning of the book that Mary cares for him. I loved the ending sooooooooooo much. What is your next favorite Heyer book? Have a great afternoon! Anna Rating:

[496] Mon 4 Aug 2008, 18:35 - Shenaz - from: United Kingdom Hi Anna, Devils Cub remains one of my all time favourite Heyers. I first read it in my teens and never tire of re-reading it (almost 40 now). I love Vidal and Mary (and Mr Comyn and his Juliana!)In fact it is one of my favourite books ever; it is so funny it makes me laugh out loud. Rating:

[495] Mon 4 Aug 2008, 10:50 - Anna Sarkissian - from: United States I just finished reading 'Devil's Cub' what an excellent book. Couldn't put the book down until I finished it. I just can't understand why they do not make movies or TV series out of her books. For me her books are as good as Jane Austen's The funny thing is everytime you read one of her books you think it's the best until you read the next one. Just until recently An Infamous Army was my favorite however now Devil's Cub is the best :) Georgette Heyer is the best. I just want to thank you all for this website. Is there anyone out there who loved this book as much as I did? Anna Rating:
