The Masqueraders by Georgette Heyer
4.0
I admit it: I have a weakness for stories wherein the heroine dresses as a man. This was made even more delightful by way of having the heroine's younger brother dress as a lady at the same time.
This was an excellent romp- romantic and dashing and charming- and best of all, a book that maintained its sense of humor the whole way through. I would give a lot to see this as a BBC period piece miniseries.
I've been consuming Heyer at a rather alarming pace since discovering her, but after awhile, a lot of the books seem rather derivative. It was a joy to find one that was quite out of her usual style, but still containing the best of Heyer's style, her eye to detail, and her wit.
