Consider some of the following (all by Georgette Heyer):
The Grand Sophy, The Nonesuch, The Quiet Gentlemen, The Tollgate, The Convenient Marriage, The Unknown Ajax.

All regencies. All impeccably well-researched in terms of the depiction of society, the language and manners, the history that shows up in the background, etc. They also tend to be quite amusing.

Edit: I have no idea if any are legitimately available in bits. The copies my wife and I own are all in dead-tree-format.
