Here is what people are saying about the Black Sheep
 "Just This Side of an Old Maid Aunt" | 2009-10-18 |
| - Reviewed By iblack19 |
When you're "on the shelf at 20, " then 28 year old Aabigail Wendover is definitely out-to-pasture. The strict restrictions of her childhood bored her, but she is stuck with curbing the high spirits of her niece who has fallen for fortune hunter, Stacy Calverleigh.
Then Stacy's uncle Miles Calverleigh arrives on the Bath scene with utter disregard of his nephew's actions.
A fun delight from the originator and crowned queen of Regency romances. Just the thing to go with a cookie and a cup of tea.

| "Revisiting Mrs. Heyer" | 2009-04-13 |

| I read Heyer all through high school in the 1970s. Now, 30 years later, I've come back to her and "Black Sheep" is quite as charming as I remember. The two protagonists, Abigail and Miles, are individually delightful from the outset. Stacy, the villian, is portrayed with great insight. Miles's strategy to save Fanny from his nephew and win Abigail is well-executed and unfolds quite amusingly. "Black Sheep" displays Heyer at the top of her game. |

 "Mature Woman vs. Ingenue" | 2008-11-17 |
| - Reviewed By chanteuse33 |
Being a woman of certain age, I am not into romance novels featuring ingenues anymore. Even with Ms Heyer's books, I prefer the ones featuring "older" women than 18-year-olds.
I read both Lady of Quality and Black Sheep back to back. I must say that I like Black Sheep more. First of all, the contrast of what love means to a 17-year-old and to a 28-year-old is so funny and right on that I could not help but chuckle whenever Fanny (ingenue) declared her undying love for Stacy the cad. The conversations between Abby (Mature Woman) and Miles (Hero) are also full of humor and word play. Their verbal sparring is never tiresome and always witty. Ms Heyer deserved to be compared to Jane Austen. |

| I've been reading my way through Heyer's works. This and "These Old Shades" are my favorites so far. Some of the most enjoyable books I have read in a few years! Comedies of manners are SO difficult to get right, but she does. The comparison to Jane Austen is spot-on and I would not say that lightly. Very highly recommended. "Cotillion" is very good too. I look forward to reading more of Heyer's books. |

What a fabulous book. I grow very tired of reading romance novels where every second sentence is telling of how the hero or heroine's body parts are reacting to each other. This was such a refreshing change. Just pure romance and no lust. I won't go into the plot because others have. I just want to say that the dialogue in the story is fantastic. The characters are entertaining and the story is always fresh. You can't possibly skim one paragraph because you would miss so many charming details. Just don't read this book when you are tired. The language in the book takes a little bit of mental translation.
This is my first novel by Georgette Heyer. I'm so happy that there are so many more to read by her. If you're a fan of Jane Austen you will love Georgette Heyer. |

I had read some of Georgette Heyer's books when I was a teen-ager. Somehow I found this book in a bookstore and I bought it right away. One of the reasons I hadn't read Georgette Heyer for a long time is her heroes are always so much older than the heroines, that said I was pleasantly surprised with this book as Abigail is a matured woman and the relationshop between her and the hero is believable and is between equals.I just loved the book and recommend it highly. This book shows how you can write a romance story without the book mentioning even the word 'sex'.
I wish Georgette Heyer had written more books!!!!!!!!!! |
