Interpretation Supposing Books Sylvester

When the news went out that Sylvester Rayne, the elegant, impeccable Duke of Salford, was seeking a wife, all England was aflutter! Lord Sylvester is a polished bachelor who has stringent requirements for his future wife -- she must be well-born, intelligent, elegant and attractive. And of course she must be able to present herself well in high society. But when he is encouraged to consider Phoebe Marlow as a bride, Sylvester is taken aback by the coltish woman who seems to resent him...

The first time Sylvester met Phoebe, he found her dull and insipid. Phoebe, was a hoydenish country miss with literary aspirations. And when she was snubbed by the Duke, and she thought he was insufferably arrogant. In fact, she deemed him the most arrogant rake she'd ever met. In secret, she'd fashioned the villain and a knave in her romance novel unmistakably after Sylvester!

Phoebe meets none of Duke's criteria for a fiancee. But when Phoebe ran away, she got his attention and fancy. Intrigued Sylvester decides that if Petruchio could tame Katherine, he had no doubt he could tame Phoebe. And when a series of unforeseen events leads them to be stranded together in a lonely country inn, they are both forced to reassess their hastily formed opinions, and they begin to discover a new-found liking and respect for each other, and they find striking up an unusual friendship.

Phoebe discovers that the duke isn't the villian she first thought. And Sylvester stumbles upon something he never dared hope for... But what Sylvester doesn't know is that Phoebe has just published a novel - a novel in which all London will recognize him. But how could she guess her book would be a scandalous success? Or that the man she had cast as a villain would become the heartbreaking hero of her dreams?

Weigh Up Epithetical Books Sylvester

3.5Sylvester, Duke of Salford, cannot believe that anyone might not want to marry him. It is one of basic premises in this story. The greatest problem Sylvester has is that nobody has ever talked back or found fault in anything he has done. I spent part the book wanting him to be rebuffed and another being annoyed by Phoebe. Sylvester mocks a fairy tale prince, but turns into one the moment he sees someone needs help. They don't meet right away in the book. The first two or three chapters are

Absolutely adored the audiobook by Richard Armitage!

After many, many years of reading her books I still cannot fault Georgette Heyer as the best writer of Regency fiction. Some of her books are marginally better than others but they are all good and I always read (reread) them when I feel that I need a treat!Sylvester is one of my favourites. It actually starts off rather slowly but once our main characters arrive at the inn (most of Miss Heyer's best action takes place in wayside inns) the pace picks up. I actually sat and read from this point

Latest re-read (listen) with my daughter on our commutes. Still a favorite and the scene when he goes to his mother in the end? Yeah, that's my favorite Heyer scene, ever. (view spoiler)[He's just so broken and lost and humbled. And he needed all those things and they could only be fixed by Phoebe (hide spoiler)]. The last third still drags a bit for me, but that's because I'm so familiar with the story now that I can't wait to get to that favorite scene...

Because I did not recognize the title, I distance ordered this lending of Sylvester from my library system. But once I got it, I did realize I had read it, despite not having the title come to mind. Probably read this one about 40 or more years ago.So- I did reread it. And although I did enjoy the read, I found this one is definitely not in my group of favorite Heyer.This one bears strong resemblance to the Pride and Prejudice juxtaposition. Intelligent and independent female miss, older logical

4.5 stars. What a wonderful writer Georgette Heyer was. This book was first published in 1957, but is still fresh, amusing and moving. It doesn't feel dated, except I suppose that many HRs these days are a lot more explicit in the sensuality level and the inclusion of sex scenes. But you don't even notice the lack of this as you read this lively and charming book.The story centres around Sylvester, Duke of Salford, who appears to have everything. One of society's most desirable bachelors. He is
