Regency Buck
by Georgette Heyer
Lord Worth, you are hilarious.
Heyer really likes writing men that are gallant but can be utterly sarcastic. Our Lord Worth is one of them. Surprisingly, he is one of the younger men (in his late twenties) and quite a dandy. All I could think of was Ben Barnes.
This story has two siblings on their way to London after the death of their father. After being told not to come to London by their guardian, their Uncle Lord Worth, they do so any way. On their way into the city they end up in a bit of a hit with another carriage. The gentleman in the carriage instantly has words with them and they dislike him from that moment on, hoping never to come in contact with him again. To their surprise, he is their Uncle... but not the Uncle that they thought would be their guardian. No. That uncle died, and their father accidentally wrote in his will for the 5th Lord Worth to take over guardianship - him.
So begins their accumulation to the city and their constant run ins with their Uncle. Meanwhile, now being heirs to a huge fortune, there is some sinister games a foot with their lives.
Some people feel like they're reading two different books when it comes to this. I feel the mystery is always lurking in the background, but it is not until we get accustomed to the characters that the mystery takes front and center.
Lord Worth falls in that line of men / characters that bicker and annoy the main character but deep down love them and would do anything for their love. After finishing this book, I jumped into Book #4 which focuses on the Lord's brother who we do meet. I have been enjoying this series and I do hope that the last book continues my 4 star ratings.
