This HaBO comes from Amy, whose Google-fu is failing her in regards to this romance:
I am being driven insane by the memory of a book I read ages ago.
Every chapter had a quote from a Georgette Heyer novel as the header, and that’s all I can remember!
Does this ring any bells? I’m guessing it was a contemporary romance.
Since we have a lot of Georgette Heyer readers in the Bitchery, someone is bound to notice Heyer elements in other romances. Anyone know this book?
When I was a teen, I *LOVED* a YA rom-com novel whose chapters all began with Heyer quotes (and it was the reason I went looking for my first Heyer novel): LOVERS’ GAMES, by Barbara Cohen!
Oh, and here it is on Amazon
Ain’t She Sweet by Sudan Elizabeth Phillips has a Heater quote with every chapter
Oop Heyer not Heater stoopid autocorrect
Dang it, I actually knew this one! Ain’t She Sweet is a modern version of a Heyer novel with a quote for each chapter.
I knew this one too but work has kept me away from the Pink Palace for a while.
Yep, thirding Ain’t She Sweet! One of my favorites
I clicked on the link that @Stephanie Burgis provided–there’s one odd/inappropriate review that kinda makes me want to get the Clorox out. Eww.
Hah. I knew I’d read this just from the headline. I hadn’t worked out the author before I saw the answers. Yay bitchery.
Fully agree with you Susan. I took the opportunity to click on the “report abuse” for Amazon
Maybe if all who notice do the same Amazon will remove the “book review”
Yikes, that review is definitely not okay. I also took advantage of the report feature.
Thanks, MMVZ. I also took your advice and notified Amazon about the perv comment.
Great job, everyone. And you might want to fix the title of this post. I’m pretty sure you meant begin and not being.
@QOTU: Fixed! Thank you! (One of my fingers is bandaged up and typing is a nightmare lately.)
@SusanH – what Heyer novel is it a retelling of? I read the description, and it’s not ringing any bells to me… but I love Heyer so I’m very curious.
I know for a fact that within the last 2 years, I read a book that had Heyer quotes at the beginning of each chapter and it was neither of these. Do I remember what it was? Of course not. …sigh…
After reading what folk wrote about that review for Lovers’ Games, I too reported it while wondering how the heck it made it through Amazon censors. I’ve written reviews far more mild than that which were rejected. SO I don’t understand how that review got past the censors.
Oh, I knew this one! I hardly ever remember their names.
Ceece
@Gloriamarie, I also remember a book with Heyer quotes I read fairly recently, and I haven’t been reading SEP or the other book mentioned. But darned if I know what it was! I’m thinking it was a Regency, though.
@Karin, thank you for saying this. I’ve been thinking about it and while I don’t remember if it is a Regency or not, that makes sense. What I also believe is that it is a book that was featured here with the other recommended on-sale books. I also think I read it more recently that I thought. But danged if I can remember author or name of book.
