My review:🌟🌟🌟🌟
Sylvester by Georgette Heyer is set in regency period, with Sylvester, Duke of Salford, used to his power and the deference others give to him, tell his mother that he’s planning to marry in the most dispassionate way.
He ends up going to a country house to meet Phoebe, the granddaughter of his godmother. Phoebe isn’t pleased with the idea, and found his behaviour during the previous year to be arrogant.
This is historical romance, tamer than Bridgerton, but very enjoyable, with heroines and heroes to cheer on, and plots to surprise you.
Sylvester was first published in 1957, but this is an updated edition, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.
Georgette Heyer wrote a great many regency romances, and also detective fiction, and so here is a link for her on GoodReads.
If you’ve been enjoying The Bridgerton TV series or books, then I would highly recommend you try Georgette Heyer!
I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to Penguin Cornerstone.
