About the books in this bundle:
The Grand Sophy: When Sophy sweeps in, life will never be the same for the Ombersleys. Sophy discovers that her aunt’s family is in desperate need of her talent for setting everything right: Cecelia is in love with a poet, Charles has tyrannical tendencies that are being aggravated by his grim fiancee, her uncle is of no use at all, and the younger children are in desperate need of some fun and freedom. By the time she’s done, Sophy has commandeered Charles’s horses, his household—and maybe even his heart.
Arabella: Arabella never would have pretended to be rich if that odious Robert Beaumaris hadn’t insulted her, practically to her face. Now she has to keep up the subterfuge, even when it gets her into more trouble than she bargained for. How is she ever going to tell Robert the truth? Or does he already know her shocking secret?
Frederica:The lovely, competent, and refreshingly straitforward Frederica is determined to secure a brilliant marriage for her beautiful sister and seeks out their distant cousin, the Marquis of Alverstoke, for his society connections. Frederica makes such a strong impression that to his own amazement, the Marquis agrees to help. Normally wary of his family, Lord Alverstoke does his best to keep his word while keeping his distance. But with his enterprising – and altogether entertaining – country cousins getting into one scrape after another, before he knows it the Marquis finds himself dangerously embroiled.
To Have the Honor (novella): Young Lord Allerton returns home from the Napoleonic Wars to find his father has left the family bankrupt. His mother’s solution: marry his wealthy cousin. But the Viscount would sooner have his beloved Harriet marry whom she chooses than be reduced to accepting a proposal from his financially compromised position.

One of my all-time favorite authors. Wish I had more .
This is a three book omnibus of Frederica, The Grand Sophy and Arabella which are three of Georgette Heyer’s most memorable Regency Romances. Each novel is graced with a strong female heroine who leads the story’s characters through comedy, chaos and mayhem before ending in her true love’s arms. Don’t all regency romances do this? The writing is superb and the tale flows easily and well. Heyer does develop her characters and has them act true to character. If you like historical romances you’ll love any of Georgette Heyer’s Romance novels. She also writes wonderful detective fiction as in Why Shoot A Butler?
Georgette Heyer is a master of the Regency Romance novel. Frederica might be her best novel ever, but the Grand Sophy and Arabella shine as original, heartfelt, and most of all, thoroughly entertaining, too. Read Georgette Heyer. You will NOT be disappointed.
anything by Georgette Heyer is terrific!
Admittedly I haven’t read this edition, but I’ve read nearly all Georgette Heyer’s books and loved them all! There is a bad one in the bunch! Well-developed characters and plots are expected in a Heyer book. And generally much better writing technique than many (though not all) Regency Romances offered today.
