Lady of Quality wasn’t my favorite Heyer novel. It seemed a little boring most of the time and only livened up when Mr. Carleton and Annis were sparring, when they weren’t together the story kind of dragged by. I am not really a fan of “rakes” and don’t find it romantic when they are purposing they are promising never to stray again. Yeah, right. Other than that, I actually thought Oliver and Annis were perfect for each other and again enjoyed their interactions.

This book was cute. I loved the main character. She and I have a lot of similar goals. Independence from family, a need for helping others, and a lack of love life close to thirty.
Though seen as a comparison story to Black Sheep, I think this one stands on it's own. The story is very compact, not a lot of characters nor a lot of jumps in the plot, but gets the job done.
If you're looking for one of those books where the two leads dislike one another and then fall in love, this is the book to read ...more

This was was my first Georgette Heyer. I liked the time period/setting (Regency England) and I loved all the witty banter/dialogue. As far as plot goes not a lot happens.
Drivel. It's like a Barbara Cartland, only I enjoy hers more. I read The Grand Sophy and enjoyed it, but this was awful.

Humorous and fun
I love Jane Austen and I really like regency romances. It's kind of embarrassing to admit that but I do. It's that side of me that's a hopeless romantic. This was a pretty good book and my first of many Georgette Heyer's to come.
