Romance fans whose tastes turn more to Mister Darcy than Christian Grey, it’s your lucky day. As of this writing (on 11/4/15), 27 of Georgette Heyer’s Regency Romance novels, noted as much for their humor and witty dialog as for their tasteful take on romance, are on sale for just $1.99 each! The sale includes such titles as:
The Quiet Gentleman (4.5/5 stars)
“Fascinating reading…authentic atmosphere in a delightful Enlgish tale”—Chicago Sunday Tribune
Less than a hero’s welcome…
Returning to his family seat from Waterloo, Gervase Frant, seventh Earl of St Erth, could have expected more enthusiasm for his homecoming. His quiet cousin, stepmother, and young half-brother seem openly disappointed that he survived the wars. And when he begins to fall for his half-brother’s sweetheart, his chilly reception goes from unfriendly to positively murderous.
One of Heyer’s most suspenseful Regency romances, The Quiet Gentleman combines an ingenious mystery plot with her signature witty style and effervescently engaging characters.
The Toll-Gate (4.5/5 stars)
His exploits were legendary…
Captain John Staple, back from the battlefront, is already bored with his quiet civilian life in the country. When he stumbles upon a mystery involving a disappearing toll-gate keeper, nothing could keep the adventure-loving captain from investigating.
But winning her will be his greatest yet…
The plot thickens when John encounters the enigmatic Lady Nell Stornaway and soon learns that rescuing her from her unsavory relatives makes even the most ferocious cavalry charge look like a particularly tame hand of loo. Between hiding his true identity from Nell and the arrival in the neighborhood of some distinctly shady characters, Captain Staple finds himself embarked on the adventure-and romance-of a lifetime.
“Spritely and good fun.”-New York Herald Tribune
“Once again Georgette Heyer has directed her comic genius along the fictional highway of early nineteenth-century England, but this time…cleaves with refreshing persistence to the commoner levels of life.”-Chicago Sunday Tribune
“Told in elegant prose with exceptionally humorous dialogue by the Queen of Regency romance.”-Good Book Guide
The Unknown Ajax (4.5/5 stars)
A past dispute …
When the irascible Lord Darracott’s eldest son dies unexpectedly, the noble family must accept their estranged Yorkshire cousin as heir apparent. They are convinced he will prove to be a sadly vulgar person, but nothing could have prepared the beleaguered family for the arrival of Major Hugo Darracott …
A present deception…
His clever and beautiful cousin Anthea is sure there’s more to the gentle giant than Hugo’s innocent blue eyes and broad Yorkshire brogue would lead one to believe. But even she doesn’t guess what he’s capable of, until a family crisis arises and only Hugo can preserve the family’s honor, leading everybody on a merry chase in the process …
Sprig Muslin (4.5/5 stars)
A dashing man of honor…
En route to propose to his sensible acquaintance Lady Hester, Sir Gareth Ludlow finds young, pretty Amanda wandering unattended and knows it is his duty to bring her back to her family. This turns out to be a challenge as Amanda seems to possess an imagination as intriguing as it is dangerous.
A shocking refusal…
Lady Hester stuns both him and her family when she refuses him. At her age, no one would expect her to turn down such an eligible suitor. But Lady Hester has met the indomitable Amanda. How can the quiet, intelligent Hester hope to compete with such a lively young lady?
