Frederica by Georgette Heyer
5.0

Such a sweet story. Lord Alverstoke is rich, selfish and spoiled. He never goes out of his way for anybody, least of all his family, because he has never had to. But when he meets Frederica, and her family, and immediately starts rescuing them from scrapes, his selfishness becomes non-existent.

I loved how he adopted the role of guardian (and father-figure) to Frederica's youngest brothers. All of the mischief her family got into was quite amusing too.

More flawed characters that you can't help but love! I think that's why I enjoy Heyer's books so much. Usually the characters in many books are too perfect and it just doesn't relate to reality. Learning to love someone despite their imperfections are what her books, and life, are all about.
