A couple more Heyer recs: Personally, I always liked Devil's Cub better than These Old Shades (I compare the two because it's a sort of sequel--the main character is the duke and Leonie's son); it's probably one of my favorite Heyer books. Also, the Talisman Ring, which I talked about a little here (http://wednesday-10-00.livejournal.com/96968.html)--love that one.
re: other regency - I used to read a bunch of Barbara Metzger back in the day. She's a lot of fun, though repetitive if you read too many of them. (As in, the characters are always in unique situations, but the characters themselves start to look really similar after a while.) My personal favorite is An Angel for the Earl (http://www.amazon.com/Angel-Earl-Regency-Romance/dp/0449222152/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1291641584&sr=8-1), but of course it's OOP now.
...Actually, searching her books on Amazon, I guess I've only read her older stuff, which is all OOP (most of them aren't even listed). I have no idea if her newer stuff is any good or not. Looks like there are a couple Kindle editions pretty cheap, though, so maybe I'll check them out.
Loretta Chase's Lord of Scoundrels (http://www.amazon.com/Lord-Scoundrels-Loretta-Chase/dp/0380776162/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1291642548&sr=1-3) is supposed to be like, the best romance novel ever written (at least, I've seen it recommended umpteen times on Smart Bitches as such), though to be honest I've never actually read it. (One of these days I should really get around to that...)
