The sheer beauty and magnificence of the Regency Era has never failed to impress me! I'm an artist by profession and Regency romances paint wonderful mind pictures! Art and architecture are major elements of Georgette Heyer romances. Her vivid descriptions of tranquil and scenic locations in London leaves readers like me asking for more!These romance books are set in the time frame spanning from 1811 - 1820. The Regency Era was a time of affluence, high society, and refined fashion. British aristocracy was at its height with a number of Dukes, Earls, Counts, and Barons featuring in many of her books.Georgette Heyer is a genius when it comes to replicating on paper, the grandeur of a past era. She's written fifty books out of which 34 are Regency romances, leaving us with little doubt that they are her finest works. These well-written stories are filled with genteel flirtations happening either amidst balls and parties, or in the quiet districts of London counties.I have too m
any Georgette Heyer favorites but I'll make a special mention of one here. Arabella is an interesting tale of a clergyman's daughter pretending to be an heiress for the sake of her wounded pride! She falls for the handsome and wealthy Robert Beaumaris, who always finds pleasure in helping her out of sticky spots! What's amusing is that her pride was stung by none other than the witty Beaumaris!So, are you ready to travel to the Regency Era? Then pick a romance ebook by Georgette Heyer and be prepared for a beautiful experience! Explore the scenic counties of early Britain, discover the lush gardens of the countryside, and lose yourself in the quiet isolation surrounding grand mansions and manors!
