Regency Buck by Georgette HeyerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sensuality Rating: Sweet
Miss Judith Taverner and her brother travel to London to meet their guardian, Julian St. John Audley, Lord Worth, expecting an elderly gentleman. To their surprise and utter disgust, their guardian is not much older than they are, and is determined to thwart all their interests, hoping to return them to the country until they reach majority and his job is done.
But Miss Taverner begins to move in the highest circles of society and Lord Worth can't do a thing about it ...
While Heyer's sparkling Regency romances usually depicted the secondary nobility, with an occasional Duke, in Regency Buck, Heyer mixes her fictional characters with real-life personages of the highest of the haut ton-the circle of the Prince Regent and his brothers (all huge men with huge appetites), and Beau Brummell, the famous dandy who single-handedly set the fashions for male attire and manners.
An enjoyable read Regency Buck by Georgette Heyer. loved the way you wrote it. I find your review very genuine and original, this book is going in by "to read" list.
