Review
The novel ends on a most satisfying note, and I can think of no better way of spending a chilly winter evening - wrapped in a down comforter with my pooch sleeping by my side - than reading this gem of a book. (Vic Sandborn Jane Austen's World 20090526)
There was a playful, light-hearted feel to this book that, along with the engaging characters, totally charmed me. (Deborah White Genre Reviews 20090526)
If the modern day romance novel is the wonder bread of the literary world, Georgette Heyer would offer readers the fiber-heavy complexity of whole grains. (Rebecca Laney Becky's Book Blog 20090527)
I think Ms. Heyer's writing is just so smart and witty... I highly recommend FREDERICA if you are looking for a good summer read. It is a very entertaining story with lots of romance. (Julie Peterson Booking Mama 20090527)
I liked Frederica a lot, especially the banter between Frederica and Alverstone... (Christina Maclean Chris' Book-a-Rama 20090529)
I had previously posted on my blog that I was looking for that next favorite book, and I found it here with Frederica. This book is funny, charming and full of interesting characters. (Naida Milenkovic The Bookworm 07 20090529)
Frederica is a fun, witty and intelligent read... I highly recommend this novel to anyone who likes a good historical romance. (Alyce Reese At Home with Books 20090601)
Verdict: delightful repartee, a good Hero and crazy kids as secondary characters = win. (Ana The Book Smugglers 20090603)
Frederica is a powerful Regency romance, that every fan of the genre should read. (Marlene Once Upon a Romance 20090612)
[A] fun, charming book... Frederica is a keeper, going on my bookshelf. (Lesa Holstine Lesa's Book Critiques 20090629)
This is a great book that explores both the relationships of the characters, and the Regency era itself. Fun, entertaining, enthralling! (Wendi Barker Wendi's Book Corner 20090821)
The novel is humorous, light-hearted... a nice, comfortable way to get your Austen-fix. (Keira Gillet Love Romance Passion )
[F]ull of family, humor, society do's and don'ts and of course, romance.
(Kristi Herbrand Books and Needlepoint )
The characters can't help but be loveable - from the sister who is beautiful and can't tell anyone no, to the brother who can't help but be ernest, to the heroine herself. It all keeps you coming back for more. (Nicole Heffernan A Blog of Books ) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Book Description
Rich, handsome, darling of the ton, the Marquis of Alverstoke at 37 sees no reason to put himself out for anyone, that is, until the strong-minded Frederica, who seems more concerned with her family’s welfare than his attentions, catches his eye.

Fantastic! Possibly one of my all-time favourite Heyer books.,
By
This review is from: Frederica (Paperback)
This is possibly one of my favourite Heyer books, and I've read a lot of them! I love her writing style, I love her wit, I love her characters, and this one is chock full of well written supporting characters, plot twists and surprises, and just good fun. There's a lot going on in the story that you don't always see coming, but it made me laugh out loud many times. I love that the hero (Lord Alverstoke) is kind of a bored cynic who has never had to exert himself on anyone's behalf before, and is shocked to discover that he might have the capacity to care for someone other than himself after all. I also love that from the first moment you are introduced to Frederica, her two incorrigible younger brothers, and her soft-hearted but dim-witted sister, you can't help but love them. Best of all, I love the banter and the way the friendship between Alverstoke and Frederica develops.You absolutely cannot go wrong with this book, or with this author in general. All of Georgette Heyer's books have a charm to them. I got to the end of the story and wanted immediately to start over back at page 1. Well worth reading over and over.

Frederica,
By AvidReader "BarbM" (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Frederica (Paperback)
I must say that this is my favourite of all Georgette Heyer's Regency novels. I have owned this book for more than 40 years, and it has travelled many, many miles with me, to be packed and unpacked again. The characters are so very well developed, the portayal of each extremely enjoyable, and the story gallops along to reach its inevitable and charming conclusion. This is a book I would gladly recommend to any Regency fan, very, very satisfactory.

Possibly the best Heyer!,
This review is from: FREDERICA (Hardcover)
I'm afraid bookjunkie said everything so perfectly and eloquently I have very little to add and yet I must add my voice to those who claim this as their favorite Heyer. In Frederica, you have an exquisite heroine - intelligent, humorous, well-looking but not a diamond, kind, and above all totally believable as a woman who could turn the world of an accomplished, arrogant, self-centered rake upside down. Heyer manages beautifully to make our hero, Alverstoke, all those things and yet absolutely marvelous at the same time. As usual, Heyer's secondary characters are perfection - interesting and amusing and so believable you feel she must know these people. This book is a must read for any regency fan - it is one of the best! An added bonus is that it hardly matters how much you pay for it - I don't think I could ever get tired of reading this book; I probably re-read Frederica twice a year: it never loses it's charm.
