Of course this book is good because it's Georgette Heyer. However, this book relied too heavily on the miscommunication trope for my tastes, and it took me forever to get through the first half of the book because of it.
I despise the miscommunication trope, however Georgette Heyer is usually the exception to that rule because she uses it for comedic purposes so well that I don't mind the drama as much. This book' entire dramatic plot was miscommunication though and it wasn't my favorite because of that. Did it still have the hilarious and wild ending that Heyer is soo good at that made it all worth it? Yes. Am I still annoyed at how long it took me to get through the drama? Also yes.
Heyer is still the queen of swoony rom-coms, and I did still swoon and laugh out loud in this book, but it definitely isn't one of my favorites of hers.
