My favorite book is 'These Old Shades' by: Georgete Heyer. She's an amazing author, every book I've read of hers so far is just a treat! All of the Regency romances I've read of hers are sweet, beautiful, amazingly written, with great, individual characters. Of course a hint of adventure doesn't hurt in a romance and that hint is there in all of hers! What are you reading this for? GO READ 'THESE OLD SHADES'!!!!!
Here is the summary:
"The wealthy and powerful Duke of Avon buys a young boy, Leon, suspecting that the child is being mistreated by his older brother; the Duke is also struck by the boy's unusual colouring, which reminds him of his enemy's red hair and dark brows. Making the boy his page, the Duke wins the child's devotion, much to the amusement of his friends, who find the Duke forbidding, selfish, and sometimes cruel. When it is revealed that Leon is actually Leonie, the Duke adopts the spirited, winsome girl as his ward and introduces her into society. Intrigue, romance, and the trademark Heyer wit ensue." -Wikipedia on These Old Shades
It's an amazing book and a total must read. Justin (Duke of Avon), *swwwoooonnnnsss*
