Representaion Conducive To Books Bath Tangle

The Earl of Spenborough has always been noted for his eccentricity. Leaving Fanny, a widow younger than his own daughter Serena is one thing, but quite another is leaving his daugther's fortune to the trusteeship of Ivo Barrasford, marquis of Rotherham -- a man whom Serena once jilted and who now has the power to give or withhold his consent to any marriage she might contemplate. Lady Serena Carlow is an acknowledged beauty, many eager suitors have vied for her hand, but she's got a temper as fiery as her head of red hair. When her father dies unexpectedly, Serena discovers to her horror that she has been left a ward of the odious Lord Rotherham. Serena raged as she heard her father's last will and testament! How could he mortgage his only daughter to Lord Rotherham, making the very man she had recently jilted caretaker of her inheritance and her heart?

Her father's heir is eager to take over his inheritance--and her lifelong home-- but the the fiery-hearted Serena is not so easily controlled. She with her lovely young stepmother, Fanny as "chaperone", decide to move to Bath. There they'd turn the ton inside out! Volatile Serena and gentle Fanny could not be less alike but they are good friends. Serena makes an odd new friend and discovers a childhood sweetheart, Major Hector Kirkby. All too soon, the scandalous Serena had more beaux than she could dangle on a string, but none of them seemed to matter--now that her former suitor Rotherham pursued another beautiful belle! What she cannot know is that the astute Rotherham has a calculate scheme of his own for capturing her heart. Before long, Serena, Fanny, Kirkby, and Rotherham are entangled in a welter of misunderstood emotions, mistaken engagements, and misdirected love.

Notice About Books Bath Tangle

Frolicking fun.Both Serena and Rotherham are pistolwhips, which makes for fiery interactions. No wilting wallflower could possibly be expected to standup to the gothic ferocity Rotherham exudes. Serena, fearless and equally terrifying to others in her own way, has no such problem. I think perhaps Shakespeare was thinking of them when he said, "Thou and I are too wise to woo peaceably."'I am not picking a quarrel. It would surprise you, I daresay, if I told you that I rarely quarrel with anyone

This is why I just love Georgette Heyer! She makes you go on even when you have no taste for an incessantly obstinate heroine! She has no match for her ingenuity in the breed of HF writers.The plot was interesting, and I was happy that it wasn't one with typical twists and turns, though to give me credit (;p) I had guessed what Rotherham was about right from the beginning, being such an ardent GH fan that I am and being prepared for the unexpected. Like all her eccentric heroes, I loved

I'm not entirely sure how to rate this, because I did enjoy it a lot, but it's still not on par with The Talisman Ring or The Grand Sophy for me. Having finished it, I was just a little relieved that all the tangles of the love interests were sorted out, and that everyone got to where they intended to go (though, I would almost have enjoyed it more if someone had made an irrevocable mistake, even if it were just Gerald and Emily; the way it came out was too good to be true, and Rotherham far too

Regency chicken soup...When Lord Spenborough dies in middle-age, he leaves a youngish daughter and an even younger second wife. Lady Serena, the daughter, is desperate not to have to live with her aunt, and Fanny, the young widow, is equally reluctant to return to the home of her parents. So they decide to live together, with Fanny as an unlikely chaperone for her headstrong step-daughter. Lord Spenborough has left an unwelcome surprise for Serena in his will, though. He has named as her

Major Update: I am immensely pleased to announce that my original review was published in Heyer Society: Essays on the Literary Genius of Georgette Heyer in November 2018, which features a collection of essays and other pieces on the wonderful Georgette Heyer. ***Oh, I loved this one. I really, really, really did. It was sheer entertainment from beginning to end, and I embarrassingly laughed out loud several times. A great many people had told me prior to starting that they hadn't liked this

While I like Serena a lot and the chase she leads Ivo is a lot of fun, the book has two weaknesses that put it on my "read less often" list. First, Ivo isn't even present through most of the book. He pops up like a jack-in-the-box from time to time, but he doesn't stay long and his actions aren't terribly enlightening. Heyer's skill is such that even as little as we see him, we can see where he stands (even if Serena doesn't), but that isn't really enough to carry through those long gaps of his

This is what I think of as the best of Heyer's Bath plots--older heroine and younger one each dealing with romantic complications. Though the alpha hero is a standard Mark I, this one exhibits more of a sense of humor than most, and Serena, the heroine, matches him toe-to-toe for alpha traits and temper.
