Devils Cub
One of the best by Georgette Heyer, and it was read very well without distracting you form the story as I found with These Old Shades. I didn't want this one to end. Please can he read These Old Shades.

A Joy from beginning to end
I have enjoyed Georgette Heyer's books since I was a teenager (now a very long time ago!), and Devil's Cub was always a favourite. I wondered whether the magic would survive, but I needn't have worried. This is a wonderful reading of a delightful book, and one that does justice to the sparkling dialogue and humour. My only advice would be not to listen to it in public (or even in front of your nearest and dearest). Laughing at jokes others cannot hear, or indeed going around with a silly smile because you are just having such a good time listening, is probably very irritating. But if you are the listener, its a marvellous experience!

Georgette Heyer's Regency.
Having discovered Georgette Heyer's regency novels, I find I simply can't get enough of them. This is a sequel to 'These Dark Shades' in which we meet most of these characters. Which is the better, is one of those unanswerable questions. Both are great fun, hugely enjoyable, and just utterly delicious.

Just wonderful!
Georgette Heyer's novels are fantastic. Not just historical romances, they are exciting and witty too. I loved listening to this one. More Heyer please!

Great Escapism
This is one of my favourite Heyer novels and this narrator has brought it to life beautifully, so I can enjoy it yet again in another format. He has managed to completely ascribe excellent voices to all the various characters and maintains this effortlessly throughout the narration. Even his women are excellent! A lovely listen for Heyer fans

Mills & Boon
I didn’t like how lord Vidal sounded like he was an old man, also falling in love practically overnight was just not believable.
I did enjoy the scenes with Aunt Fanny, they were funny.

Devil's Cub is alive and kicking
On first reading I loved this book, but to relax and listen to it not only rekindles fond memories but adds a new dimension to the original enjoyment. Michael Drew instinctively brings out not only the nuances of Georgette Heyer's writing, but also the atmosphere and sensations of the period, heightening the emotions and allowing the mind to create images to fit the characters.
As a sequel to These Old Shades, the Cub certainly lives up to the Devil's reputation ... he is a natural offspring for Justin and Léonie, and just as lovable in his own way.
I would recommend Devil's Cub wholeheartedly to devoted fans and those coming new to Heyer alike.

Great fun
Ooh, this is delicious. I love a good Regency tale, and this is full of swashbuckling heroes, flighty swooning females, and a plucky heroine who wins her swain in the end. But you know she will, it wouldn't be Georgette Heyer if she didn't.
Even though a French accent is required for one of the characters, the narration is terrific. I loved it!

Not my favourite
The narrator's nasal interpretation of Vidal and Avon was almost as bad as his female voices. I prefer Heyer's Regency novels to the Georgian.
