Now that I've got that off my chest
I'll share some of my favourite Heyers:
- Cotillion. Freddy is one of my favourite romance heroes, with kindness as his superpower.
- Frederica also has a kind hero (although gruff on the outside), and hilarious scenes like the Baluchistan hound and the declaration of love thwarted by calves foot jelly.
- Three dramatic adventures:
- The Masqueraders. Crossdressing siblings falling in love (not with each other!) while pretending to be their opposite sex.
- The Talisman Ring. A practical, sensible couple and a wildly romantic couple, mixed up in an old mystery with a missing priceless ring.
- The Devil's Cub. A mistaken identity abduction with a delightful confrontation of most of the cast at the end. (I just have to hold my nose and ignore the sexist slutshaming in the beginning.)
- A Civil Contract. Starting with a marriage of convenience, and the couple getting to know each other and learning to love each other afterwards.
What are yours?
