Christine McDaniel said The Transformation of the Marquess Alverstoke. I have never read any of Georgette Heyer's Regency novels without feeling my time has been well spent. She writes with humor, using witty characters, plots with twists, and pays meticulous attention to details.

But no one could possibly describe him as anything but cold, easily bored,and aloof. Having never been denied anything as a child, Vernon grew up self-centered and was constantly asked for material items by his two older sisters.

She's a pretty amazing author having written 50 books in 50 years Georgette Heyer is my guilty pleasure. She's a pretty amazing author having written 50 books in 50 years ranging from regency romance to crime novels.

I feel I'm getting an education, but maybe that just lets me off the hook for enjoying them so much.
