A review by rachel_abby_reads
Cotillion by Georgette Heyer
4.0
(2008)I like this novel because the romantic hero is so unusual; he isn't the smartest or best looking man on the scene. He isn't the reformed rake or gambler. He's intended to make the desired male jealous, and ends up being the desired male. It's good to see Heyer go with the less obvious hero.
(2016) I feel a little gypped that we missed out on how Kit talked Freddy into going along with her plot. One minute, he has a bunch of objections that she can't answer, and "ten minutes later" they're getting ready to return to Arnside to execute Kit's plan. Kit must have been pretty persuasive.
What is it about a gambling womanizer that was so attractive in the Edwardian age? Heyer wrote some "reformed rake" novels, in which love makes a rake abandon his wicked ways. It seems to me that it might not be so clean and easy.
