Faro’s Daughter

Faro’s Daughter (1941) Georgette Heyer

Max Ravenscar is one of the most wealthy men in London, but seems to care little for high society and fashion. Yet, as trustee of his nephew’s fortune, a call from his sister to keep Adrian from marrying the niece of a woman who runs–of all things!–a gaming house, send Ravenscar to the home of Lady Bellingham where he meets the beautiful and spirited Miss Grantham for himself, and see just why his nephew has fall for her, but thinks that removing Adrian from her clutches will be a simple thing.

Unfortunately for Ravenscar, Deborah doesn’t want Adrian in her clutches, and so a dangerous game full of insult and misunderstanding is begun.

Although there are some things I do like about Deb, occasionally I do think she is quite silly. That did not, however, stop me from enjoying the story.
