I always warn tyros that Heyer books are like chocolate...addictive, but one can have too much at once.
My favorites tend to be the books with all the verbal sparring between the main couple, which generally means the heroines have a bit more personality. Grand Sophy, Black Sheep, Lady of Quality, Venetia.
I find it surprising how many of her books I love because of the secondary characters. She's better than Dickens. (Needs to read False Colors again.)
And I am in the apparently small minority that likes Regency Buck, and is not ashamed. Yes, Judith is a huge pain at times, but she's 20. If I had that much money and that much freedom I would have gotten up to some stupid things ar 20 as well.
Amazon has a bunch of Heyers on sale for $1.99 right now. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to which ones, though.
