“The result is an absorbing and enlightening biography, a must-read for Heyer fans and all who cherish Regency romances.” - Booklist
“With rare access to Heyer’s private papers as well as the newly identified letters, Kloester perceptively analyzes Heyer’s novels... This well-written, thoroughly researched biography is more detailed than Jane AIken Hodge’s The Private World of Georgette Heyer. Heyer enthusiasts and readers interested in popular romantic historical fiction or the Regency period of English literature will enjoy this.” - Library Journal
“meticulously reserached...” - Kirkus
