What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

In all her twenty-five years, Venetia Lanyon has never been further than Harrogate.

Nor has she enjoyed the attentions of any man aside from her two wearisomely persistent suitors.

Then, in one extraordinary encounter, she meets a neighbour she only knew by reputation - the infamous Jasper Damerel.

Before she realises it, Venetia is encouraging a man whose way of life has scandalised the North Riding for years.

'Absolutely delicious tales of Regency heroes. . . Utter, immersive escapism' SOPHIE KINSELLA

'Rapturously romantic' Katie Fforde

'Georgette Heyer is second to none' Sunday Times

While the beggining was a little hard to swallow (he kisses and gropes her without her consent and despite her clear refusal and we are supposed to find that romantic) (the novel is from the 50s after all) after that I found it a nevertheless delightful novel and Venetia a clear-headed, fun and resourceful heroine much ahead both of her time and the time the novel was written. Moreover the narration was superb!!
