\"The<\/a>The Grand Sophy<\/a> by Georgette Heyer<\/a><\/p>\n

My rating: 5 of 5 stars<\/a><\/p>\n

If you’ve never read a Regency romance by the late Georgette Heyer, what are you waiting for? This is one of my faves of hers.<\/p>\n

I love Sophie, a woman who charts her course and is never daunted. It’s easy to see why she’s called THE GRAND SOPHY. She never thinks small. And you have to love a heroine who arrives with a parrot who talks like a sailor and a monkey as gifts to the children of the house. The alpha hero Charles, a man who forced to assume responsibility much too early, meets his match in Sophie–thank heavens! Humor graces every scene. Imagine a Regency heroine going to a loan shark and pulling out a pistol, then scolding him about not sweeping his floors. Outrageous. Wonderful! In conclusion, I especially love the final scenes where while and lovers\u00a0 unite and break apart–an abstracted poet walks in and out among ducklings . I dare you to read it and not laugh!<\/p>\n

You may have noticed a lull here on my blog. I’ve been taking a little vacation from blogging but “Strong Women Brave Stories” is coming back with author Penny Zeller this Thursday! See you then. :-)–Lyn<\/span><\/p>\n
