I am so glad that my SantaThing Secret Santa picked this book for me. Sophy is an excellent character. She knows just how to manage people and how to get in to harmless trouble. And it has a happy ending to top it off. (  ) jmaloney17 | Jan 5, 2010 |  After years of hearing rave reviews about this book, I finally got around to reading it. I'm glad I did; it was adorable! Regency heroines are usually so bland and proper but Sophy is spunky and witty. She reminded me of a grown-up Pippi Longstocking. I wanted to have a cup of tea with her. There were so many interesting characters and story lines in this book. When they finally all jumbled together, I laughed out loud. This book is a little Jane Austen, a little cheesy regency romance and whole a lot of fun. It's also completely clean (the opposite of my other favorite authors V.C. Andrews and Laurell Hamilton) - I think there were two kissing scenes in the whole book! ( ) eljabo | Nov 6, 2009 | My first venture in Georgette Heyer's work and I am definitely hooked. The Grand Sophy was full of delightful and rememberable characters. The regency era was no doubt extensively researched, for the story was so rich you could feel like you actually stepped back in time. Perfection. Can't wait to read more of her books. (  ) runaway84 | Aug 11, 2009 | At first I had doubts about reading this book, but in the end I absolutely loved it. Sophy splashes on the pages by chapter three and doesn't stop till the last page. With her vibrant personality you can't help but being drawn in, she is a pure delight. The Grand Sophy was an exciting, charming read. The characters grab you and don't let go. You can't help but want to see what Sophy will do next. Georgette Heyer, is definitely a pioneer of the Historical Romance genre. I think any one today that is reading this genre should read Ms. Heyer at least once. ( ) vampiregirl76 | Jul 27, 2009 | Lady Wombat says: Ah, now I know why Heyer is held in such great regard. An amazingly funny regency romp! I wonder if she ever wrote anything as good... Wombat | Jul 16, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review

A Most Shocking Lady, Indeed!
Vibrant, irrepressible Sophy Stanton-Lacy was no stranger to managing delicate situations. After all, she'd been keeping opportunistic females away from her widowed father for years. But staying with her relatives could be her biggest challenge yet.
Lovely cousin Cecelia was smitten with an utterly unsuitable suitor; cousin Herbert was in dire financial straits; and the ruthlessly handsome Charles Rivenhall was bent on marrying a horribly prosy bluestocking. Using her signature unorthodox methods, Sophy set out to solve all of their problems -- never anticipating romantic entanglements of her own!
Could it be that the Grand Sophy had finally met her match . . .?
