I am astonished it’s taken me so long to read Georgette Heyer. I guess the ‘romance’ label has kept me away. But I determined to read more of her (I’ve read several of her mysteries, and one or two other books of hers), so decided to try to read her in publication order.
The Black Moth was her first book, and it is quite witty and sassy and interesting. The story follows a young woman who has caught the attention of a rogue, who determines to kidnap her and do his worst with her.
The hero of the piece is enjoyable although the set up is a bit far-fetched. The heroine is not a wilting violet so I was delighted with that.:)
