    I absolutely love this book. It's the only book I've ever turned from the last page back to the first, I so did not want it to end. It's the funniest Heyer I've run across and I agree with Roxane M, it would make a fabulous movie if only you could find someone who could correctly deliver the line, "all nights are balmy when you're in love." I highly, highly recommend Phyllida Nash's audio version. Her delivery of ALL the characters is spot on. I had to rewind a lot because I couldn't hear for laughing.
