Summary: One of My Favorite Heyers!
Review: I discovered Georgette Heyer in about 1970 and this is still one of my favorites. The mother of the twins is one of those charming shatterbrains that Heyer characterizes so well, complete with all the wonderfully tangled circumstances into which she has embroiled herself. Kit, the twin who forms the main part of the story, is the underplayed hero - younger son, serious, willing to step in for his missing twin to help save his brother's engagement. Then of course there's the fiance and her dragon of a grandmother. Heyer froth at its best! Winning characters, unexpected situations, and denouments that keep you guessing.

Summary: "False Colours, great story"
Review: It is so well read, my copy has fallen apart. I keep hoping it will be reissued. The story is lovely, funny and the characters are very enjoyable. Kit is the nice brother, and his twin is missing. All the other characters add spice and life to this well-told tale. Their mother is a riot!

Summary: Twin Trouble !
Review: This is Georgette Heyer at her best ! We have a gentleman who is pulled into the most shocking masquerade because of his loving mama. And so he proceeds to woo his brothers finacee, only to find that she prefers him. And he can't 'fess up, because his mothers gambling debts have to be paid with the settlement. The entire mess unfolds, with perfect Heyer elan, witty dialogue, and and excellent cast of characters!

It's a pleasure to read about heros who don't think it normal to fight duels, or abduct maidens, and heroines who have a sense of humour. A wonderfully pragmatic couple in the most unusual circumstances. A light hearted romance that leaves you smiling for the rest of the day.
