I don’t know that this book counts as a romance. It’s a cute book, but the romance is quite lacking. They keep talking about how they don’t know why they love each other.

I love Heyer, but the details of her books never stick in my mind long - I can never remember if I've read a particular book, or if so, what it was about.... But they are *such* fun reading! This one is a pleasure.

Oh, for a Lady of Quality to be drawn to such a reprobate is not to be considered. And yet, when Miss Annis Wychwood of Bath rescues a runaway heiress and must tangle with the girl's guardian...
I enjoy almost all of Heyer's Regency romances including this one although I didn't really feel the love build in this one.

One of the later novels, with a strong heroine caring for an ingenue and romancing an unconventional hero.

This was my first foray into Heyer's romances. I enjoyed it. The story was expected, but that is why I read these types of books. No clever dialogue, no interesting locale, no surprises.
