"Fascinating reading...authentic atmosphere in a delightful Enlgish tale"Chicago Sunday Tribune Less than a hero's welcome... Returning to his family seat from Waterloo, Gervase Frant, seventh Earl of St Erth, could have expected more enthusiasm for his homecoming. His quiet cousin, stepmother, and young half-brother seem openly disappointed that he survived the wars. And when he begins to fall for his half-brother's sweetheart, his chilly reception goes from unfriendly to positively murderous. One of Heyer's most suspenseful Regency romances, The Quiet Gentleman combines an ingenious mystery plot with her signature witty style and effervescently engaging characters. What Readers Say: "A must read. You will love the quirky characters, the great suspense plot, and the incredible wit." "A breath of fresh air... Heyer's witty dialog, engaging and sparkling characters, and humorous repartee make this an engaging and wonderful read." "One of my favourites; it is a mystery as well as a lighthearted comedy of manners." Georgette Heyer wrote over fifty novels, including Regency romances, mysteries, and historical fiction. She was known as the Queen of Regency romance, and was legendary for her research, historical accuracy, and her extraordinary plots and characterizations.

I can‘t help myself: I own the paperback and the audiobook and yet I bought the kindle version because it was 99p. 😂

I‘m currently on my FOURTH Georgette Heyer since I expected to have a baby and I DO NOT want to talk about still being pregnant. 😅 The tagged book was my favorite Heyer so far. Lots of gothic vibes and a satisfying ending, on all counts. I really enjoyed the characters in this one, especially the dowager, who reminded me of a hybrid of both of my judgey grandmothers!

Maybe my next post will be about a baby? 🥴

saresmoore @batsy Thank you, friend! I think we have another strong female in the making. I figure she‘ll emerge with dignity, grace, and stubborn resolve just when she‘s ready. 😅 4y
saresmoore @ChasingOm @SamanthaMarie @Freespirit Thanks for the well wishes! ♥️ 4y
saresmoore @merelybookish Thank you! Our A/C quit on us, so I think at this point I‘ll just sweat the baby out if all else fails. 😅 4y

LauraBeth I came here for a baby update! ❤️😹😹 4y
saresmoore @LauraBeth Not sure if it‘s the baby or the ute, but SOMEBODY is being stubborn over here. Meanwhile, I‘ve cleaned everything within my reach and I‘m pretty sure every neighbor within a mile radius has started calling me the Crazy Pregnant Lady because I‘ve been out there waddling through contractions in the summer heat for almost a month now. 😂 4y
kspenmoll Take care! I hope your baby cones soon!!! 4y
LauraBeth I think you have a Cancer ♋️ in there so it‘ll come soon! I‘ll place my bet for Monday 7202020 ❤️ 4y

ReadingEnvy Too too hot to be pregnant! Come on baby! 4y
saresmoore @ValerieAndBooks That would be lovely! @ReadingEnvy You are right about that. I‘ve entertained many fantasies about moving to the mountains these past weeks.😅 4y
saresmoore @LauraBeth @Suet624 Oh, I didn‘t even think about how close we are to the cusp! She certainly seems like a Cancer to me—my most watery baby yet with all her active swimming. 4y
MicheleinPhilly I am here for updates on Pickle. That‘s what I have named her. 4y
saresmoore @MicheleinPhilly I love it! She‘s still securely nestled in the jar. In spite of my pressure washing the driveway today. 🤦‍♀️ 4y
