Snowdrift: I know these are short stories, but starting to get really tired of the insta love, age gap, worldly vs. naïve, same old locations (house, traveling, or inn), and Corinthian/doe eyed innocent that comprise every story. Again, I don’t feel like the books are this way, but these short stories are really disappointing. (1/5)

Hazard: Another fiasco, but this one a bit better. Miss Moreland is put up in a bet by her awful brother and she is so angry she readily agrees to leave with his equally foxed buddy, Carlington. I like that Miss Moreland had a plan and some sense of agency. I didn’t like that the whole “run away to Gretna Green and bump into somebody at an inn” seems to be such a standard plot for Heyer.
