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.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2019Format: KindleVerified PurchaseIt 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2020Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThe 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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Second book in Chetwynd Ley's Eversley Saga. A sweet and pleasant read from 1968.
(3-3.5 stars) This is the second book of Chetwynd Ley's Eversley Saga and was, I believe, first published in 1968, so it should not be accused of having a derivative plot since it's old and many romances published since this one have a similar storyline. Chetwynd Ley's books are of the traditional historical romance variety and you won't find much annoying anachronism in them. You also will not find sexy scenes in them so if you like hot romance you won't find it here. You also won't find thoroughly developed romantic relationships either so, IMO, they lack a bit of the warm fuzzies. Yet I enjoy reading them for the fun of it all, since many of them are 40-50 years old.
This book features Georgiana Eversley, the younger sister of Beau Eversley, hero of the first book of the series, THE CLANDESTINE BETROTHAL, and close friend of that book's heroine, now her brother's wife. Georgiana is lovely and spirited and, let's face it, spoiled and willful. She can also be quite kind and sweet at moments but those moments were too few and too far between for me to become very fond of her.
Georgiana has had many suitors and many offers of marriage. At the present of this book, two peers stand out from the others, but no one has engaged her heart. Then a certain Dr. John Graham, surgeon at St. George's Hospital, enters her life and treats her like the spoiled brat she is. Seemingly impervious to her charms, he's a cold dip in the bucket of reality for her. But she gets her back up and makes a bet with one of her brothers that she will make the brusque doctor fall in love with her and then she'll jilt him and break his heart.
Well, who will get his/her comeuppance? Read to find out, although I'm sure you've figured it out already. Along the way there's an Other Woman for the H (a very sweet cousin) and an Other Man for the h (the best and most admirable of her suitors) and one feels a bit sorry for them as the story progresses. But not to worry about that Other Man. He will have his True Romance in the next book of the series: A SEASON AT BRIGHTON.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2021Format: KindleVerified PurchaseIn several of the reviews I read, There were comments that the text had many production errors which led to confusion. There were none in this version I read on November 6, 2021. Enjoyable.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2016A 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.)
