this for ages I knew I would love it and was so excited to read it that a part of me did not want to read it too soon becauseonce you read it for the first time you'll never read it again for the first time Sure re reads are sometimes even better but they're not the same You already know just how swoony Damerel really is when you re read it ; Fair Fatality you are the most unusual female I have encountered in all my thirty eight years finally Anne is uoting the right bookIn what is assuredly the most famous “first encounter” scene in all of Heyer’s books a returning Lord Damerel looking devilishly handsome on his horse stumbles upon Venetia picking blackberries on his estate grounds and immediately just starts throwing out uotes and kissing her ruthlessly you know like any normal landlord would do And Venetia She uotes back I kid you not this girl may be inexperienced but she knows what’s up You want to act like a cad Well so be it 'your uotations don’t make your advances a whit acceptable to me – and they don’t deceive me into thinking you anything but a pestilent complete knave'And Damerel is all OH MY GOSH SHE UOTES BACK SHE UNDERSTANDS SHE’S THE ONE Thus it begins my friends One of the most beautiful romances I’ve ever read solidly grounded on friendship mutual understanding and true love ”’Or don’t you know how beautiful you are’‘Yes’ replied Venetia taking the wind out of his sails ’Item two lips indifferent red – ‘ ‘Oh no you’re uite out and have gone to the wrong poet besides They look like rosebuds filled with snow’”Aren’t they something What I wouldn’t give for such an encounter when I go blackberry picking Maybe I should try trespassing on some hot guy’s property ; From that first meeting it is obvious that Damerel and Venetia are kindred spirits and that probably no one else will understand them Venetia may be “on the shelf” sheltered in the country inexperienced and optimistic but she ain’t dumb She’s not a chit who can’t tell love apart from attraction or who is likely to have her head turned just because some swoony hot lord uotes poetry to her and calls her his “dear delight” No She falls for Damerel because he’s her soulmate and she has sense enough to recognize that Never mind that he’s the rakest rake in England with a shocking past of wild orgies and seducing married women or that he’s up to his eyeballs in debts WHO CARES VENETIA HAS FOUND A FRIEND A real friendAnd no one understands No one gets it They all think Venetia is going to have her heart broken that she doesn’t understand what Damerel is up to that she’s too good and innocent to be with him They warn her and counsel her and beg her to stay away from him yet they never once ask her what she feels or what she thinks about him If only they knew how alike they are and what good jokes they share “OMG YOU’VE JUST HAD THE MOST DIVERTING THOUGHT”Their only ally is Venetia’s hilarious younger brother Aubrey a smart and sassy scholarly boy who prefers books to people see People who prefer books usually understand people better We know and who had wonderfully good scenes and witty lines as sharp as rapiersThe first part of the book passes by uietly with autumn settling in and Damerel and Venetia being wrapped up in each other being the best of friends and accomplices Damerel takes to calling Venetia his “dear delight” his “fair fatality” “Admir'd Venetia” and other similar heart melting nicknames he keeps telling her she is a beautiful desirable creature and that he wouldn’t at all mind kissing her again and well everything is just so sigh worthy that you never want it to end ”’he should have taken you in his arms like this and not as though he were a bear bent on hugging you to death Nor am I in favour of dabbing kisses all over a girl’s face If you cannot persuade her by a ruse to look up you should make her do so with a hand under her chin – thus my dear delight’”BUT THEN MRS SCORRIER ENTERS THE PICTURE AND UTTERLY RUINS EVERYTHING She meddles she disturbs everything at Undershaw she insults Venetia and she drives everybody batty I will be honest the bits about her and her interference in the house were pretty boring and maybe a bit too long but mostly they were infuriating She was intolerable But her arrival is also a catalyst that strikes up a series of unforeseen twists and turns and the second half of the book is definitely fast paced and surprising than the first Having been pushed to her limits by Mrs S Venetia declares her intention of setting up house in London which unwittingly prompts Damerel into a most moving love declaration although interrupted by Aubrey Aubrey interruption # 1 of about 5000 but that leaves you swooning nonetheless ”’You call me your friend but I never called you mine and never shall You remained and always will a beautiful desirable creature’”Ooooh if only Aubrey hadn’t come in at that moment And if Venetia’s uncle had never come to Yorkshire How things would have been different But as it is the aforementioned people DID meddle and in one of the most poignant heart breaking scenes I’ve ever read in any romance novel Damerel suddenly decides to act like the noblest of noble knights and in so doing breaks Venetia’s heart and mine and his own ”’Well – thus ends a charming autumn idyll eh’”I just need to give Venetia a big hug I was so SHOCKED so SPEECHLESS when I read that that I basically dropped my book and sat there gaping for ages OH DAMEREL YOU INFURIATING DARLING HOW COULD YOUPoor Venetia goes to London with her heart sunk to the lowest depths of despair but still she’s no fool and knows something must have happened to make Damerel suddenly change his mind when she had been so sure of his love She just doesn’t know what But oh when she finds
