These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer

There was a time when I simply devoured these Regency romances and reread them repeatedly. This one was one of Amazon's special deals, so for $.99 or whatever it was I thought it might be fun to read one again. It was. The themes are not sophisticated, here a wicked man is redeemed by the love of a good woman, but even in the meticulously researched historical setting, Heyer's twist seemed fresh and amusing. BTW - I don't think I ever read this one before - and it is her earliest.
