Heyer is excellent at recreating the dialogue, mores, styles, and culture of the day while giving us characters in whom we believe in this story full of disguises, kidnapping, drugs, chases, rescues, and a grand reveal that will keep you flipping the pages of this character-filled story set in an English country house as well as high society in Paris and Versailles They may be far apart in age, but Léon and Avon are too much alike, lol. My TakeĪ humorous historical May-December romance in which the “evil” Duke both gets a two-fold revenge and is reformed by a Parisian street urchin. These Old Shades was first published 1 January 1926. The focus is on a long-held desire for revenge that evolves in the mid-1700s. Other books by this author which I have reviewed include These Old Shades, Bath Tangle, Lady of Quality, The Black Moth, Venetia, The Spanish Bride, Simon the Coldheart, Beauvallet, A Civil Contract, Regency Buck, An Infamous Army, Frederica, The Unknown Ajax, Black Sheep, Sprig Muslin, Sylvester or the Wicked Uncle, The Grand Sophyįirst in the Alistair – Audley Tetralogy historical romance series and revolving around the Duke of Avon. Historical romance in a Kindle edition that was published by Open Road Media on Januand has 241 pages. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
