Ilustration To Books The Quiet Gentleman

Gervase Frant finally returns to his father's estate to claim his title as the new Seventh Earl of St. Erth at Stanyon. Unscathed from glory at Waterloo, Gervase expected a hero's welcome - instead he's given a frigid cold shoulder. Upon his return only Theo, a cousin even quieter than himself, is there to greet him--and when he meets his stepmother and half-brother open disdain put a chill on Gervase's welcome, and he detects open regret that he has survived inconveniently two wars. Now he must establish himself as the new head of the house... and ignore his family's rising hostility.

Then Gervase's eye is caught by beautiful and charming Mariann Bolderwood, a collector of beaux -- the same young woman already much in favor with his half-brother. Gervase struggles to maintain a gentlemanly balance, but now the brothers are again rivals as they bid for the lady's attentions. But the dangers of the Lincolnshire countryside could never be more unexpected. Gervase finds himself the victim of repeatedly life-threatening accidents. And soon it becomes increasingly clear that someone wants the new Earl cruelly dead. Level-headed Drusilla Morville is captivated by Gervase but knows that she does not stand a chance against the debutantes vying for his affections, until Gervase's life is endangered and free-spirited Drusilla comes to the rescue.

Evaluate Regarding Books The Quiet Gentleman

2019 ReviewI am surprised I took to this one as strongly as I did on my first reading. It is not exactly absorbing from the get-go. Maybe because I knew how it would all turn out this time, I found myself impatient with the dawdling way things unfold. But I do love Miss Morville (even if her name is Drusilla, which is a horrible thing to do to a character.) Her prosaic attitude towards everything makes her utterly charming and a breath of fresh air for the Regency genre. And for once her type of

Another countryside romp in this story of succession as the disenfranchised Gervase returns from the battlefields, resigning his commission, and taking his rightful place as Earl of Stanyon. Much to the disappointment of some. Similar to The Unknown Ajax in the general plot line and characters, but there's an added attempted murder to jazz this one up a bit. Definitely more dare-doing and mishaps for the characters. I figured out the mystery portion less than halfway through so it seemed to limp

Despite the clumsy murder thread running through this story, it's one of my favorites. It succeeds where I think A Civil Contract failed--it gives us the best of Heyer's "plain but kind" heroines, one with a decided sense of humor, who achieves romance on her own power, and without melodramatic suffering, like the supposedly "realistic" A Civil Contract. The heroine's parents are a total delight--part of the Lake Poets, having raised their daughter to be practical and republican. The characters

So much fun!Even if the mystery was almost that transparent that it is not worth talking about, the wit was incomparable!The romance was well done; absolutely fictional(of course!) but in its core, I think it realistic. You can see the stages, the growing, the first blossoms so to say and it was after my taste: not too much of it too make me blush and roll my eyes but enough to keep me entertained.

Gervase returns home one year after his father's death having inherited the title. Estranged from his father because of his mother's behavior, he has spent his adult life in the cavalry and has survived Waterloo. It's not a happy homecoming. He encounters his stepmother's (mother-in-law throughout the book) suspicion and his younger half-brother's resentment. Martin has grown up with his father's affection and indulgence and with shadowy expectations of inheriting. With the shadowI wonder if

This was a very slow book to start but once it got going I enjoyed it very much. It was populated with characters who are not easily forgotten. Other than the odd diversion the whole story took place at Stanyon Castle. I liked Drusilla a lot. She was quite and steady and very sensible but eminently likable. Marianne was a good character too. She was very young and naive and this was her only fault if fault you could call it.Martin was a royal pain but this was more or less down to his mother. He
