I could make your pie because yum.

But I can’t read those Georgette Heyers. I get mom’s ready for her each night and every book, every page, is the same. Lord Fauntely could not allow his true feelings for her to be known. He strode away purposefully, his cheeks crimson. Miss Lilybeth lowered her sumptuous lashes and rushed to the stable gate. “Oh my dear Lord, I don’t know when Mama and I have enjoyed such a lovely evening! Please do not hesitate to return when Captain James allows!” Etc.

LOL!

I worked in a public library many years ago, and we checked out a lot of those books to immigrant women trying to learn English.

The romances were a bit flowery. Oh, who am I kidding? They should have been sold at the perfume counter. I still liked them as a teen. Especially "The Toll Gate".

The historical ones like "The Conqueror" were quite lacking in flowers.

The mysteries were witty and lacking in both peers and bullied females and are set mostly between the wars.
