A delightful romantic adventure from one of the best-known and beloved historical novelists of all time.

Robin and Prudence Merriot have been dissemblers since they were children. And in this age of slippery politics, they need to be. So it is nothing for them to rescue a rich heiress from her abductor. But once committed to their masquerade, they must see it through....

For more than 50 years, Georgette Heyer was the undisputed queen of historical romance. And as these hugely successful reprints have shown, she still has a large devoted fan base.

Everyone loves a good masquerade, as always, Heyer did not disappoint! Stella Rilley gives a great wink to the book in her book The Player

Brother and Sister...A Change Of Identity

This late 18th c.-set novel has everything! Maybe too much of everything? A family of tricksters take London high society by storm--but what will happen if they fall in love for real and reveal their true identities? Lots of action, multiple disguises. The plot has a nice symmetry to it, in fact. Eleanor Yates's narration is pleasant, but somewhat lacking in lower registers for the male characters. On the whole, however, Masqueraders is a good time.

Dressing up, elopements, duels, and a lost heir

This story of intrigue and cross dressing, sword, fights, heroics, and one of the most delicious romances of all Georgette Heyer novels is just plain fun! The performance was wonderful, and the voice ever so beautiful. The French accent was exquisite except him a couple of words that truly shocked the listener as they were unexpectedly wrongly, pronounced. Nevertheless, it was a fun performance.

This is one of my favorite books by her. The reading was very nice. Was sad when it was over.

Love Heyer!

Wonderful, delightful G. Heyer! The story was pleasing and exciting. The dialogue, the character development, the intricate and yet easily followed plot, and the HE all contributed to a great reading experience. The narrator made a few minor stumbles (covert instead of cavort; sang “froyd” instead of froid which is pronounced more like “fwah” in French). Otherwise the narration was brilliant with each character having an easily recognizable voice. Highly recommend!

Outstanding!!
