Since then, I've read most of the Regency books, though the one of her detective books I read I didn't enjoy that much.

That would be Steve Miller.
And I agree, the Heyer books are not off the wall, even though they certainly aren't steam punk!
Historically accurate, totally fictional, Regency England romances with wonderfully funny writing. Highly recommended. (and yes, many are available as audio books, as are all the Liaden books. )
