by Alice Chetwynd Ley (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 618 ratings
A thrilling pre Regency romance from a master of the genre! For fans of Georgette Heyer, Mary Balogh, Jane Aiken Hodge and Jane Austen.

Can anyone tame Georgiana’s tempestuous heart…?

1800, England

Hugh ‘Beau’ Eversley has now settled down to marriage and lost his rakish reputation.

His younger sister, Georgiana, however, has inherited his wild streak.

With six marriage proposals to her name, her family and friends are urging her to take a husband.

But this dashing, incomparable Toast of the Town is determined to remain free-spirited and independent…

With suitors a-plenty, will any of them capture her heart…?

THE TOAST OF THE TOWN is the second book in The Eversley Saga: Traditional British, pre Regency romance novels with outspoken, feisty heroines set in Georgian England.

    It is good to find such well written period fiction being revived for new audiences. I am not a fan of poorly written bodice rippers or tomes where the characters speack in modern idioms rather the the proper language of their own era. I can happily recommend this series and its author.

    I have read this series out of order, and I could swear that a person spoken of as dead in this book is very much alive in a !atter book.
    An alternate Georgian Universe?
    The story is told with a great deal of charm and with some obnoxious secondary characters who add to the fun.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Vain, Entitled and Spiteful
    Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    The first time we meet our heroine she is laughing uproarious at the misfortune of others.

    The second time, she cares so little for anything but her own wishes that she risks the lives of a pregnant woman, a child, the only Doctor in the area, and three horses from her careless driving and never once apologizes to any of them including her pregnant sister in law, then in her mind turns it around to blame the Doctor. Then enters a bet to make him fall in love with her to punish him.

    Everyone makes excuses for her except him and then he does start to fall in love because she is beautiful, not for any personality and all the while he has a perfectly nice, helpful girl at home who loves him..

    I gave up on this book though it is better than the last that I read by this author. Her heroes are likable men who deserve far better than the women she throws at them.

    This one flaw into a rage when he happened to say that women can't be trusted to drive not 4 days after the accident she caused. Them insisted women should be educated and have more to do than have babies but has she ever gone through their library to read up on some history or geography or maths? Of course not.

    If you are OK with this, it is a well written book so far as pacing goes and fairly interesting people if not given much depth.

    He has an interesting story of how he came to be a Doctor and a quiet sense of humor that I liked. But not enough to stand more of her.

    The heroine in this 2nd book of the Eversley Saga was a great friend of the heroine in the first book, and meets her match in this delightful entry. The dynamic between hero/heroine here is very Taming of the Shrew-ish, brought to a very satisfying conclusion.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Ever-charming
    Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2016
    A wager is perhaps my least-favorite trope -- bet on a woman's virtue; bet that a flirt can make a man fall for her; a wager on matters of the heart seems, well, heartless. Yet, in Toast of the Town, the wager (Miss Eversley can make the doctor fall for her) although thoughtless, is never cruel. This is a study of a young woman who is, as the title says, The Toast of the Town. But she is better than that. She wants more than a beautiful, empty life of the ton. Only she doesn't realize that when the book begins. She has to learn, to fall in love with someone she might otherwise overlook and grow as a human being. That is the best part of the book, that Georgiana learns she is better than even her most ardent admirers might think. With Dr. John Graham by her side, anything is possible. This is just a lovely story, told in a breezy style with competing love interests and the re-introduction of the yummy Beau Eversley and his Susan from A Clandestine Betrothal. Ley leads us through the romance so well that we aren't surprised they fall in love, but actually become concerned that it will not end HEA. Charming, sweet and all that lovers of old-fashioned regencies will cherish. Alice Chetwynd Ley is a master. (I received an ARC from NetGalley. Opinions are mine.)
