4.5/5. Thoroughly entertaining book - lots of laughs and very likeable protagonists. I gave up on this author several years ago after one too many so-so release. I'm glad I gave her another chance because this was a truly entertaining read, very funny but also pulling on some heart-strings. Verity did dig herself the biggest hole to try to work her way out of, but she is so earnest and not at all intimidated by the fury of an incensed duke. As for for said incensed duke, poor man was befuddled and discombobulated by Verity from the word go. He stood no chance.

When I see covers where the guy isn't wearing a shirt, it seems like a signal that it contains explicit sex. Or am I wrong, lol? I didn't think that was acceptable fashion in the regency era.
Pretty soon I'll run out of Georgette Hayers to read!
Sorry, Heyer in the plural.

It is not a clean book and there was a bedroom scene and two. It was probably more lurid than a Balogh book and definitely more than a Heyer book but far less than some contemporary HRs. I'm not sure if that helps. You obviously love your Heyer enough to want multiples of her. 😄
