Georgette Heyer Reading Challenge January Wrap Up

 

I know I'm a little late in putting up January's wrap up link up post but I wasn't feeling well yesterday and never got around to putting it up so you have my apologies. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get up my review of Cotillion which is the book I chose to read for the challenge this month but it will be up this week. I will say though I did enjoy my first foray into Heyer's writing and thought Cotillion was a fun read.

 

 

 

Summary:

 

A sham betrothal isn't the only thing that gets Kitty and Freddy into trouble, but it's definitely the beginning ..

A heroine in a difficult situation
Young Kitty Charing stands to inherit a vast fortune from her irascible and eccentric guardian-provided she marries one of his great-nephews ...

A sham betrothal
No sooner does Kitty arrive in London then the race for her hand begins, but between confirmed rakes and bumbling affections, Kitty needs a daring scheme ...
