출판사 설명
Reading Georgette Heyer is the next best thing to reading Jane Austen."—Publishers Weekly
Beautiful, capable, and independent minded, Venetia Lanyon's life on her family's estate in the country side is somewhat restricted. But her neighbor, the infamous Lord Damerel, a charming rake shunned by polite society, is about to shake things up.
Lord Damerel has built his life on his dangerous reputation, and when he meets Venetia, he has nothing to offer and everything to regret. Though his scandalous past and deepest secrets give Venetia reason to mistrust him, a rogue always gets what he wants.
As Venetia's well-meaning family steps in to protect her from potential ruin, Venetia must find the wherewithal to take charge of her own destiny, or lose her chance at happiness.
Charming characters and flawless prose make Venetia a fan favorite from the Queen of Regency Romance. Fans of Mary Balogh, Elizabeth Hoyt and Jane Ashford will be delighted by this story about finding love, redemption, and the courage to follow your heart.

Witty
Witty and quick. Big vocab. I did need a dictionary for regency slang words though!
One of my favorite Heyers
The witty banter, the contrast in personalities, the meeting of minds...how could I not love this one?
It had potential
This thing dragged like a kidney stone. Loved the main characters. The relationship was too complicated.
