Synopsis

The Honourable Christoher Fancot, on leave from the Diplomatic Service in the summer of 1817, is startled to find his entrancing but incorrigibly extravagant mother on the brink of financial and social ruin - and more than alarmed that his identical twin, Evelyn, Earl of Denville, has disappeared without a trace. Kit, the respectable brother, is forced into an outrageous masquerade by his wayward family`s tangled affairs. But in the face of Evelyn`s continues absence, their rigid uncle Lord Brumby, the surprisingly wily Sir Bonamy Ripple, formidable old Lady Stavely and, worst of all, Evelyn`s betrothed, Cressy, even Kit`s ingenuity is stretched to the limit . . .

About this title

Review

Filled with some very unexpected surprises and quirky characters, I kept a smile on my face several minutes after I finished the novel. "False Colours" is not only a book written about the romance between Kit and Cressy, but also about relationships, duty and the power of love that sends a strong, warm message throughout the book. -- Shellie "Queue My Review" (05/20/2008)

Heyer's eye for detail, character development, and talent for moving a story along is masterful... For sheer fun and entertainment, I highly recommend this novel and give it my highest rating of three regency fans. -- Vic Sandborn "Jane Austen Today" (06/24/2008)
