LOL <i>Perfect Timing</i> is getting lots of good reviews.<br /><br />Heyer's Avon is certainly a quintessential "bad boy." Damerel from <i>Ventia</i> is another favorite among Heyer's rakes.Jangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128188159653860806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-19894367074945180152013-04-14T07:31:46.248-04:002013-04-14T07:31:46.248-04:00Nancy, I think Heyer created the pattern for the r...Nancy, I think Heyer created the pattern for the rake, the historical bad boy. Alverstoke is a great example, and <i>Frederica</i> is my #1 favorite Heyer.

Though I have so many on my TBR now that it needs to be irresistible, like Catherine Anderson's 'Perfect Timing' (just read it ... one of her best!) to get on the list. LOL<br /><br />I'm not sure that I often register 'Bad Boys' as such in my reading. It is after all a male characteristic to have some 'wicked' traits while being gallant and chivalrous at heart.LOL<br /><br />Maybe some of the men in Elizabeth Lowell's 'Only' series might count. Or going back to 'Those Old Shades' by Georgette Heyer, perhaps Justin would also count? They are all favorites with me!Quantumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08686409685564115213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-51718816291652650932013-04-10T17:55:05.883-04:002013-04-10T17:55:05.883-04:00Janga, this book sounds interesting.

In romance, the Marquis of Alverstoke, from Frederica, would be at the top of the list, though his exploits are tame compared to those of more modern heroes.<br /><br />Nancy Northcotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223226786134462222noreply@blogger.com
