Rank, wealth, and elegance are no match for a young lady who writes novels... Sylvester, Duke of Salford, has exacting requirements for a bride. Then he meets Phoebe Marlow, a young lady with literary aspirations, and suddenly life becomes very complicated. She meets none of his criteria, and even worse, she has written a novel that is sweeping through the ton and causing all kinds of gossip... and he's the main character!
"It oozes with words classically denoting that time period and flashbacks of Austen careens in the background."
Aisle B
"SYLVESTER, OR THE WICKED UNCLE is a Regency romp at its best. Ms. Heyer creates characters that are realistic, lively, and humorous and the secondary characters are just as entertaining."
Book Lover and Procrastinator
"The heroes are flawed and arrogant but of course we love them anyway. The dialogue is witty and amusing and these make great beach reads."
