I’ve been reading Georgette heyers books for the last six months or so and they’re just… like yeah girl you go on that carriage chase! You argue with that man you clearly love!! I adore her silly little farces

Started re-reading Bath Tangle because...why not, still in a Heyer mood. A few observations:

Heyer was pretty not sexy in style, even for her time period, but I do feel like Serena and Rotherham have Belligerent Sexual Tension (tm.)

Is this the only one of her books where the hero and heroine are exes? This would be called a "Second Chance Romance" in romance industry parlance.

#bath tangle #georgette heyer #i feel like it makes their dynamic really interesting #there's a ~history #often her heroes have known their love interests for awhile #but i don't know of one where they were actually engaged before??

Ivo and Serena are one of those couples you ship not because they’re good people, but because they’re both assholes in an extremely specific and compatible way and you wouldn’t wish marriage with them on anyone but each other. Them getting together is basically a mercy to the population.

Most people don’t think Bath Tangle is a very good Heyer novel/the main characters are assholes...and I’m thinking about reading it solely based on the fact that the hero is categorized in that blog post as pure Volatile Irascible Male (tm).

Apparently Heyer was re-reading the Brontes when she wrote ‘Bath Tangle’ and uh...you can tell...

This is just....a description of Rochester...if Rochester was somehow an ageless being...

Lol at Rotheram hiding his pretty-boy hands in his pockets but also, again, Ivo is physically described almost identically to Rochester.

The whole Adonis/Vulcan comparison is used to contrast Rochester and St. John in Jane Eyre, physically if not in personality the competing love interest (Major Kirkby) looks like St. John.

#review #BathTangle by Georgette Heyer

Bath Tangle is a historical romance by Georgette Heyer. It features two strong protagonists and a sort of double romance with two secondary characters which are much more likeable than the main characters.

I really didn’t know how to rate this book. The beginning and the end are so much better than the middle.

First of all, I had a different impression of it than what the book turned out to be.…
