<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Rank, wealth, and elegance are no match for a young lady who writes novels...<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Reading Georgette Heyer is the next best thing to reading Jane Austen.--Publishers Weekly</p><p><i>Rank, wealth, and elegance are no match for a young lady who writes novels...</i> <p/>Sylvester, Duke of Salford, has exacting requirements for a bride. Then he meets Phoebe Marlow, a young lady with literary aspirations, and suddenly life becomes very complicated. She meets none of his criteria, and even worse, she has written a novel that is sweeping through the ton and causing all kinds of gossip... and he's the main character!</p><p><b>What Readers Say: </b><br>A truly brilliant Heyer with an adorable and very real heroine and a hero who is very human! <p/>One of Heyer's most unsung achievements, a classic Pride and Prejudice story. Hilarity and adventure throughout. <p/>The hero may be my all-time favorite. He is so drily funny it takes your breath away. What a wonderful love story. <p/>Hilariously funny, romantic, even touching in a subtle way.</p><p>Georgette Heyer wrote over fifty novels, including Regency romances, mysteries, and historical fiction. She was known as the Queen of Regency romance, and was legendary for her research, historical accuracy, and her extraordinary plots and characterizations.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Sylvester</i> is a great historical romance and it really shouldn't be missed! - <strong><em>Once Upon A Chapter</em></strong><br><br>A colorful array of her usual characters... if you are a Georgette Heyer fan and haven't read this book yet, you will be well advised to do so now. - <strong><em>Jane Austen's World</em></strong><br><br>A sweet regency romance, with truly funny, witty dialogue. - <strong><em>In the Hammock</em></strong><br><br>Another sensational ride into Georgette Heyer's historical world. - <strong><em>Historical Hilarity</em></strong><br><br>By far and away one of the wittiest romances that I have read... - <strong><em>Seriously Reviewed</em></strong><br><br>It oozes with words classically denoting that time period and flashbacks of Austen careens in the background. - <strong><em>Aisle B</em></strong><br><br>It's easy to see why Heyer is still considered a master of the genre even today... - <strong><em>Debbie's Book Bag</em></strong><br><br>One of the best Heyer romances I've read so far... - <strong><em>Stiletto Storytime</em></strong><br><br>Sparkling wit and an entertaining banter between hero and heroine like Austen... - <strong><em>A Work in Progress</em></strong><br><br>SYLVESTER, OR THE WICKED UNCLE is a Regency romp at its best. Ms. Heyer creates characters that are realistic, lively, and humorous and the secondary characters are just as entertaining. - <strong><em>Book Lover and Procrastinator</em></strong><br><br>The heroes are flawed and arrogant but of course we love them anyway. The dialogue is witty and amusing and these make great beach reads. - <strong><em>Book Magic</em></strong><br>
