But when he is forced to leave the country, Mary Challoner discovers his fiendish plan to abduct her sister. And only by daring to impersonate her can Mary save her sister from certain ruin…
Reader reviews at Amazon:
“Devil's Cub picks up the story of the Duke of Avon and his 'page' Léon some 25 years after Justin and Leonie have married (These Old Shades). The traditional story of love conquering all - in this case the wild and infamous Dominic meeting his match in the apparently staid and prosaic Mary is beautifully handled by the author who was the Queen of the Regency romances. Others try, but fail to match her exquisite use of language, fine characterisation and intricate plotting. The similarity to Jane Austen is there but Ms. Heyer's characters are more flesh and blood. Romance, humour, drama and characters you care about - what more can you ask?”
“As an ardent Heyer fan I first read Devil's Cub way back in the 70's. I couldn't count how many times I have read it since. The two main characters are well written and real. Who wouldn't wish for Mary's presence of mind in times of peril - or her resolution, come to that. We soon see that beneath Dominic's outer exterior of spoilt arrogance there is a faithful, loving heart. I actually discovered Leonie & Rupert for the first time in this book.- I had no idea that it was a sequel. I was so excited to find them in their youth in These Old Shades. Actually, if you're that keen on the Avon family, Mary and Dominic re-appear in An Infamous Army as the parents of the wilful Lady Barbara. I envy all those who come to Georgette Heyer for the first time. If you love her, you'll love her for life!”
