I was reading Heyer in my teens, in the mid-60’s. I read my mother’s copies, then obtained my own.

The sequence starting with The Black Moth, and ending with An Infamous Army, set against the Battle of Waterloo, are my favorites.

Set mostly in France before the beginning of the active path towards the French Revolution (perhaps during the reign of Louis XV), we have a comedy of errors concerning a lovely ninnyhammer and her ambitious mother, a sensible sister cast in the shade of her beautiful sibling, a care-for-naught rake and his family, and a suitor to one of that family, all varying degrees of gentility and nobility.

Amusing and alarming by turns, a classic to enjoy many times over.

I used to roll my eyes when my mom read these books. She would always try and get me to read them. I never did. Her copies are about 40 years old, so I decided to buy her as many as I could find. Bored, I started reading one. AND FELL IN LOVE! Heyer is my absolute favorite author. I am so sad for all the time lost with this witty author and her books. Her words are a joy to read. She has such a way with words, you yearn to be her characters. If you've never read Heyer, you're missing out. Trust me, you won't reget a minute of time spent with Georgette.

The mix an developement of characters is one leg of the triad used by the great Georgette Heyer. Devils Cub offers another glimpse into the enchanted world of Regency Emgland.

Lord Videl Alister takes very much after his strong willed parents. He will have his way, be it at cards, romance, or honor. An immediately intriquing tale to hold your interest.

Grab your favorite libation, a bowl of popped corn and settle in to enjoy Devils Cub.

Absolutely amusing and light hearted warm story. The use of the english language was delightful and entertaining. I enjoyed every page. I am a great fan of georgette Heyer, have been for years. Takes me away from my problems even for just a few pages at a time.

Most delightful! A must read!

I spoiled myself today with this book and a "sick day". Awesome!!

I'm a huge fan of the historical romance genre and Georgette Heyer is one of my favorite authors, second only to Jane Austen. I've reds every Heyer book I can find and Devil's Cub is the best of them. If you like strong heroine's with dimension and intelligence, then this is the book for you. Plus Heyer is known for her attention to historical details for dress, cuisine and the language of the Regency period.

I highly recommend this book!
