The Convenient Marriage by Georgette HeyerMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Not one of the stronger of Heyer's books, there are some highly amusing bits but it sort of gets a bit too absurd nearer the end.
I had high hopes that Horatia would continue through the whole books as a somewhat sensible, if rather young, individual, but found that the practical nature that she showed in the first few chapters quickly fell by the wayside thus landing her in scrapes that got to be a tad eye-rolling.
The whole bit at the end centering around her brother and his friends, although mildly amusing, started to drag the whole story down for me.
A perfectly serviceable book, but if you are looking for a really rollicking Heyer read go pick up a copy of The Grand Sophy.
