Frederica Frederica

Publisher Description

New York Times bestselling author Georgette Heyer's beloved tale of an entertaining heroine stumbling on happiness when her marital machinations for her sister go awry.

Determined to secure a brilliant marriage for her beautiful sister, Frederica seeks out their distant cousin the Marquis of Alverstoke. Lovely, competent, and refreshingly straightforward, Frederica makes such a strong impression on him that to his own amazement, the Marquis agrees to help launch them all into society.

Normally Lord Alverstoke keeps his distance from his family, which includes two overbearing sisters and innumerable favor-seekers. But with his enterprising — and altogether entertaining—country cousins chasing wishes and getting into one scrape after another right on his doorstep, before he knows it the Marquis finds himself dangerously embroiled.

Praise for Georgette Heyer:

"I have Georgette Heyer's books in every room of my house."—#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts

One of her best!

I’ve read this hilarious story several times. I crack up laughing and reread sections that are so fun! The characterization is supreme. I will miss them until we meet again; because I am sure I’ll pick it up again. If you like a clean regency romance with great supporting characters read this book.

You will want to read this book over and over again

This is the first time I have read one of this author's books. I could not put it down‼️
Dishes pile up in the sink; beds remained unmade; dirty laundry went unwashed as I devoured this witty and cleverly written book.
She draws you into the story such that you forget where you are and you wish the book will never end.

Love the characters as well as period language- I'm pursuing other works by this author!
