An altogether unsatisfactory arrangement

After their father's death, Miss Judith Taverner and her brother Peregrine travel to London to meet their guardian, Lord Worth, expecting an elderly gentleman. To their surprise and utter disgust, their guardian is not much older than they are, doesn't want the office of guardian any more than they want him, and is determined to thwart all their interests and return them to the country.

With altogether too many complications

But when Miss Taverner and Peregrine begin to move in the highest social circles, Lord Worth cannot help but entangle himself with his adventuresome wards...

Praise for Regency Buck:

"Clever!"â?? Library Journal
"Georgette Heyer is unbeatable."â?? Sunday Telegraph
"Light and frothy, in the vein of the author's other Regency novels, this follows the fortunes of Miss Judith Taverner and her brother, Sir Peregrine. A good introduction to Heyer's period stories..." â?? The Booklist
"Reading Georgette Heyer is the next best thing to reading Jane Austen."â?? Publishers Weekly
"A writer of great wit and style... I've read her books to ragged shreds"â?? Katie Fenton, Daily Telegraph
"Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire too."â??Katie Ff

I was actually rooting for the cousin in this novel. ( )

Pleasant look into the Regency period without too much depth to drag the light plot. Not one of this author's best, but worth reading for anyone who appreciates the genre. ( )
  fuzzi | Nov 19, 2020 |
A beautiful heiress, a reluctant guardian, cock-fights, duels of honour, carriage races, well-dressed dandies, poison, kidnapping and (of course) a couple of marriage engagements. What else could you want? An entertaining read. Younger brother Perry offers comedic relief throughout the book. There is, however, one uncomfortable scene (a la "metoo") near the beginning of the book that doesn't look too good to modern eyes. ( )

After publishing eighteen books, ten of them historical, Georgette Heyer finally turned to the period that she would make her own: the Regency, in a book titled, appropriately enough, Regency Buck.

And oh, it’s awful.

Well, maybe not awful. Let us just say not very good. ...

The failed romance and the borrowings from Pride and Prejudice are, alas, not the only problems with this novel, which suffers from two other problems: one, it is frequently dull, partly because two, it contains far, far, far, far far too much dropping of historical facts.
