Another Excellent Regency Romance

 An Unsuitable Heiress, a recent release by Jane Dunn, is very much in the Georgette Heyer tradition, with above-average writing, rich detail, vivid characters, and more depth than the standard cookie-cutter Regency romance. There's also a lot more going on than in the usual historical romance.

I’m not going to describe the plot because you can get an idea of that from reading the blurb or a summary of the story in any other book review. I think anyone who loves Georgette Heyer’s historical romances or traditional historical romance in general will find this a treat.  


Ordinarily, I would quibble about one detail regarding a special license to marry but in this case, the novel’s many strengths far outweighed that one issue. Instead, the next time I run out of something to read, I’m going to re-read it. In the meantime, I'm going to buy her first book, The Marriage Season.
