The novel ends on a most satisfying note, and I can think of no better way of spending a chilly winter evening - wrapped in a down comforter with my pooch sleeping by my side - than reading this gem of a book. (Vic Sandborn Jane Austen's World 20090526)
There was a playful, light-hearted feel to this book that, along with the engaging characters, totally charmed me. (Deborah White Genre Reviews 20090526)
If the modern day romance novel is the wonder bread of the literary world, Georgette Heyer would offer readers the fiber-heavy complexity of whole grains. (Rebecca Laney Becky's Book Blog 20090527)
I think Ms. Heyer's writing is just so smart and witty... I highly recommend FREDERICA if you are looking for a good summer read. It is a very entertaining story with lots of romance. (Julie Peterson Booking Mama 20090527)
I liked Frederica a lot, especially the banter between Frederica and Alverstone... (Christina Maclean Chris' Book-a-Rama 20090529)
I had previously posted on my blog that I was looking for that next favorite book, and I found it here with Frederica. This book is funny, charming and full of interesting characters. (Naida Milenkovic The Bookworm 07 20090529)
Frederica is a fun, witty and intelligent read... I highly recommend this novel to anyone who likes a good historical romance. (Alyce Reese At Home with Books 20090601)

Frederica is a powerful Regency romance, that every fan of the genre should read. (Marlene Once Upon a Romance 20090612)
[A] fun, charming book... Frederica is a keeper, going on my bookshelf. (Lesa Holstine Lesa's Book Critiques 20090629)

The novel is humorous, light-hearted... a nice, comfortable way to get your Austen-fix. (Keira Gillet Love Romance Passion )
[F]ull of family, humor, society do's and don'ts and of course, romance. (Kristi Herbrand Books and Needlepoint )
The characters can't help but be loveable - from the sister who is beautiful and can't tell anyone no, to the brother who can't help but be ernest, to the heroine herself. It all keeps you coming back for more. (Nicole Heffernan A Blog of Books )
Product Description
One of readers favorites, Frederica is full of surprises
When Frederica brings her younger siblings to London determined to secure a brilliant marriage for her beautiful sister, she seeks out their distant cousin the Marquis of Alverstoke. Lovely, competent, and refreshingly straightforward, Frederica makes such a strong impression that to his own amazement, the Marquis agrees to help launch them all into society.
Lord Alverstoke cant resist wanting to help her
Normally wary of his family, which includes two overbearing sisters and innumerable favor-seekers, Lord Alverstoke does his best to keep his distance. But with his enterprising - and altogether entertaining - country cousins getting into one scrape after another right on his doorstep, before he knows it the Marquis finds himself dangerously embroiled...
WHAT READERS SAY:
"A writer of great wit and style... I've read her books to ragged shreds." - Kate Fenton, Daily Telegraph "Stylish, witty, and bang up to the mark!" - Punch "One of Georgette Heyer's more adorable heroines." - Saturday Review "Classic Heyer—the author at her best!" "Not only do the characters seize your heart from the first moment, they are three dimensional and so alive. It is just wonderful!" "What a great book. One of my favourites, as the most beautiful is not the heroine." "Witty, enchanting, and impossible to put down. This is one of Heyer's best works and one of the most enjoyable books I have ever read." "A wonderfully written witty tale of the downfall of a cynic. I was charmed."
