Although many of her other novels set in Regency times are more sexually explicit, Jo Beverley's traditional regencies series detailing the romantic misadventures of the Ashby family and their friends are a good match for Georgette Heyer's romantic suspense. -- Krista Biggs
Both Georgette Heyer and Marion Chesney write Regency romances that follow similar standards and pair wonderfully original characters with a clever sense of humor. -- Katherine Johnson
Rhys Bowen and Georgette Heyer's historical mysteries feature a similar mix of romance and wit, independent heroines, and early 20th century settings. Bowen's characters are sassier than Heyer's -- Victoria Fredrick
Though Carolyn Miller sticks to Christian Regency romances while Georgette Heyer's secular romances cover more historical ground, both accomplished authors' novels are amusing and replete with witty banter and spark. Though chaste, their love stories are emotionally complex and peopled by delightful characters determined to find happiness. -- Melissa Gray
Georgette Heyer's regency romances are pure Jane Austen, distilled. Heyer crafts detailed romances of the Regency and Georgian eras in which Austen lived. Heyer beautifully captures the spirit of the age and manners of the times, although she lacks Austen's subtle irony and social commentary. -- Kim Burton
Some of Amanda Quick's novels share common ground with Georgette Heyer's romances, although Quick's level of sensuality is considerably greater. Their warm-hearted, unconventional heroines are paired with bachelors whose dubious reputations may be well-deserved; however, they also adhere to deeply-held, redemptive personal codes of honor. -- Krista Biggs
Clare Darcy's sweet Regency romances appeal to readers who enjoy Georgette Heyer's lighthearted portrayal of the antics of the English aristocracy during the Season, her appreciation for the absurd, and the witty dialog of her characters. -- Krista Biggs

Library Journal Review
The Queen's privateer, the dashing and handsome Sir Nicholas Beauvallet, is in the midst of plundering a Spanish ship and setting her captain adrift in a longboat when he is stopped in his tracks by the sight of a beautiful young woman (all ivory, rose, and ebony), Do?a Dominica de Rada y Sylva, who curses him roundly as a scoundrel and a poltroon. She is taken prisoner, along with her ailing father, but since Sir Nicholas is really our hero, he gallantly escorts them to Spain where he sets them ashore despite the Spanish navy and the Inquisition. Heyer departs from her usual Regency time period with a rousing tale set during the reign of Elizabeth I. Cornelius Garrett is a wonderful reader, and the listener has an easy time visualizing a laughing Sir Nicholas with his pointed beard, earring, slashed doublet, and gleaming sword. Great fun; highly recommended for all libraries.-Barbara A. Perkins, Irving P.L., TX (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
