The Reluctant Widow by Georgette Heyer
May. 7th, 2012 12:08 amThe Blurb On The Back:
Stepping into the wrong carriage at a Sussex village, Elinor Rochdale is swept up in a thrilling and dangerous adventure. Overnight the would-be governess becomes mistress of a ruined estate and partner in a secret conspiracy to save a family’s name. By midnight she is a bride, by dawn a widow.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Georgette Heyer’s Regency romance is a light, frothy read that’s perfect for a rainy Sunday afternoon. It’s not a deep book, the romance seemed a little perfunctory and neither of the main characters really worked for me, but the minor characters are a lot of fun and I did love the Francis Cheviot, a sinister dandy. I’d definitely read more of Heyer’s books.
