Summary: Gambler's Daughter Plays A Winning Hand!
Comment: Deborah Grantham is well born, well-bred and ever so lovely. None of this matters, however, in the game of love and matrimony in Regency London, because Ms. Grantham earns her living playing cards in one of London's finest gambling houses. And marriage with such a gaming-house wench is just not done, especially not in the echelons of the "ton." Young Lord Maplethorpe is willing to flaunt society and risk its censure to marry the beautiful Deborah for love. His unhappy mother seeks help from her stepson, the handsomest, cleverest, richest man about town, Max Ravenscar. This unrelenting bachelor meets Deborah, his new foe, across the faro table where they play for power, although they wager for money.
And proud Ms. Grantham gives Ravenscar a run for his money as she proves to be more stubborn and high principled than he in this delightful romantic farce. Georgette Heyer writes one of her best novels with "Faro's Daughter." The witty dialogue, the power plays between the intelligent Deborah, who does not want to be beholden to anyone, let alone to the arrogant Lord who is so willing to believe the worst of her, and the creative subplots and adventures showcase her talent.
This is a winner, and a must read for all Ms. Heyer's fans!

Summary: Faro's Daughter
Comment: I had a huge problem with this book, and that is--it was TOO SHORT!!! I really wish that it had been longer, I really enjoyed it! I know a book is good when I don't want it to end yet. I would describe it simply as a fun read.

Summary: Drawing Room Comedy - with a twist
Comment: This book is a definate favorite of mine and is a drawing room comedy - with a twist!
Join Max Ravenscar as he tries to extricate his young cousin from the coils of Miss Grantham - whose aunt runs (gasp!) a Gaming House!
Of course, there is much more to the plot than meets the eye, with several different romantic plots running through the books, and a wildly romantic rescue of an innocent young girl.
This book is lots of fun, and is enjoyed by all Heyer afficionados.
