One of my favorite Heyers, and I love the classic Allan Kass cover on this edition.
I love this story of twins, the elder of whom inherited the earldom and the property, and the younger of whom chose a career in the diplomacy. The elder (Evelyn) is an amiable chap, the younger (Kit) is more serious. Both adore their mother, who is a flake but a charming and affectionate one - a contrast to their unemotional father, who had married her for her beauty and charm and had then frozen her out because she wasn't what he expected in a wife. So, a dysfunctional family - how will things turn out for them? And will Cassie, the Earl's proposed bride, figure it all out in time to marry the right guy? This is Heyer, so she will, of course, and a lot of fun will be had along the way.
There's a reason Heyer is regarded as having begun the regency subgenre, and this is one of her best.
