I was in the mood for some Heyer so I chose to reread this one because it's extremely charming. It's Heyer, with all the flaws and virtues that implies, but it's a very good Heyer, which means the flaws are fairly toned down and the virtues particularly good. But that doesn't mean it's not still flawed. Oh Heyer. I love you but you're problematic.

(the best bits: ooh ooh a regency romance that acknowledges that TECHNOLOGY EXISTS AND IS PROGRESSING! And Frederica herself is a delight forever. Also gosh an important secondary character is a person who actually has to work for a living. Also I am never over ( minor spoiler )
