Piper29 | May 13, 2024 |    ) PurplOttr | Dec 1, 2023 | SueJBeard | Feb 14, 2023 | On her way to London Arabella's carriage breaks down outside the hunting lodge of the wealthy and socially prominent Robert Beaumaris, fate cast her in his path. Arabella's only fault is impetuosity, and her pride stung when she overhears a remark of her path of arrogant host, who accused her of being another petty female after his wealth, the proud, headstrong ingenue made a most startling claim -- she was an heiress! A pretense that deeply amuses the jaded Beau. To counter her white lie, Beaumaris launches her into high society and thereby subjects her to all kinds of amorous fortune hunters in London and other embarrassments. Suddenly Arabella found herself the talk of the ton and pursued by some of the most eligible young men of the day. But only one caught Arabella's fancy: Beaumaris, the handsome and dedicated bachelor. She should know better than to allow herself to be provoked by nonpareil Beau. But would her deceitful charade destroy her one chance for true love...? (  ) Karen74Leigh | Jan 12, 2023 | Advanced reader's copy of re-release provided by Edelweiss.

Updated edition of the beloved classic by the Queen of Regency romance herself, Georgette Heyer, featuring a new Foreword by New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James. Arabella's one little while lie has spread through the ton like wildfire� Arabella Tallant, modest daughter of a country clergyman, is on her way to her first London Season when her carriage breaks down outside the estate of the wealthy and bored Mr. Robert Beaumaris. Beau assumes she's simply another young lady throwing herself in his path, which goads the impetuous Arabella into pretending she's an heiress. Much to Arabella's dismay, rather than being brutally set-down, as she intended, Beaumaris is deeply amused. He counters by launching her into high society, which Arabella would enjoy very much if it wasn't for the fortune hunters. Arabella's unpredictable and innocent ways force Beaumaris to start helping others, including a stray dog, an unfortunate urchin, and eventually Arabella's reckless young brother. Along the way, Arabella and Beaumaris become more and more intrigued with each other-which neither will admit, of course, until under extreme duress. "Absolutely delicious tales of Regency heroes� Utter, immersive escapism."-SOPHIE KINSELLA "No one has ever matched Georgette Heyer for charm and wit." -LISA KLEYPAS "Utterly timeless charm� The dialogue sparkles with wit." -NORA ROBERTS, #1 New York Times bestselling author "Romance, adventure, side-splitting humor-no one writes like Georgette Heyer!" -LAUREN WILLIG, New York Times bestsellin Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I really enjoyed this book. I loved Arabella's character and I really liked Roberts as well. I liked that the romance evolved over time. One complaint I have with Georgette Heyer regency books is the romance often feels a little icky with the man being quite a bit older and treating the woman like a child. That was not the case in this book which I was very happy about.
I loved the relationship between Robert and his dog Ulysses. I found it very humorous. I also really enjoyed the scene with the chimney boy.
There was quite a bit of humor in this book. Most of the book is from Arabella's POV and some is from Roberts but there is also a bit from Arabella's brother Bertram. I didn't enjoy those parts as much.
There is some blasphemy and some thoughts of suicide by one character, other than that it is a clean read.
I would recommend this book as a very enjoyable read. (
