![]() Even though I know what’s going to happen, it’s always a delight to experience the subtle plot variations and the new cast of characters along the way. But all in all, Heyer books have transparent plots with markedly similar storylines.ĭo I mean this as a criticism? Absolutely not! I love picking up a Heyer book because I already know for a fact that I am going to like it (because, yes, I like that kind of plot). Of course, there always are the subtle variations, such as the heroine being the first to fall in love with the hero or–egads!–the hero NOT being a former rake. Which book is this the plot to? It could be almost any of the Heyer canon. Thirty-something-year-old former rake falls in love with young girl barely out of the schoolroom (or alternatively, with a spunky twenty-something-year-old “spinster”), and after many misunderstandings, much wearing of finery, probably some gambling over cards, perhaps a duel or two, and loads of witty banter, the two finally come to an understanding. ![]() If you’re looking to read something unpredictable, Georgette Heyer books are not for you. ![]()
