My god! I've never in my life laughed so long and hard. Such a treat it was. I was so stitched up that it took me almost 15 minutes to read two pages. Not so much of a romance as a humorous and light hearted comedy with a smidgen of romance woven through. The ending was hilarious and yet quite suspenseful. The best read all year and by far the funniest thing I daresay I've ever read. I will undoubtedly undertake the reading of every Georgette Heyer book I can get my hands on.
