You might ask what’s so special about Mrs. I’m starting on my 24th book, and I owe it all to Mrs. After I’d read everything about three or four times, I started reading other writers.
I immediately started searching until I found every book Georgette Heyer had ever written, including the mysteries. The book was Georgette Heyer’s These Old Shades. One day, after a particularly annoying remark, my wife threw a book at me with orders to read it or shut up. I called them her “sin, lust, and passion” books so often my daughter started calling them mommy’s celeste passion books. Having seen only the covers, I made tacky remarks about them, you know, the kind made by people who’ve never read a romance. Soon romances were collecting in eery room, on every table, in piles on the floor. My wife bought them both and devoured them. I got married in 1972, the year Kathleen Woodiwiss and Rosemary Rogers published their first books. I’m certain I wouldn’t have written one, which is the reason Laurie asked me to write the review in the first place. Without her, I might never have started reading romance. I have a particularly soft spot in my affections for Georgette Heyer. Heyer except that she’s great?īut the more I thought about it, the more interested I became. Actually, I’ve never done one, but what can you say about Ms. I adore Georgette Heyer, I think she’s one of the finest writers I’ve ever read, but I’m not comfortable doing reviews. When Laurie first asked me to do a review of a Georgette Heyer book, I was a little reluctant.
