Victoire

I very much enjoyed this light Regency romance novel. Clare Darcy is the closest writer I've found to Georgette Heyer, and this book is very much in Heyer's style. The heroine reminded me very much of one of Heyer's feisty French heroines, but the story is quite different from that one.

The rather bored, reckless and promiscuous Marquis of Tarn (Lewis) has a sense of responsibility and kindness underneath his somewhat harsh exterior, and I liked his sense of humour. I very much liked the young but determined Victoire too. It's a good story, full of excitement, fast-paced and with an entirely satisfactory ending.

Recommended if you like Heyer's style of writing.

Hotheaded and temper Lewis meets Victorie under nefarious circumstances brought about by her uncle . The author gives the couple a quarrelsome relationship that works for them because it has more to do with both of them being hot tempered who don't resort to misunderstandings or sulks. A fun and a bit of a madcap romance .
