Absolutely. This is the literary equivalent of a kneerug, cocoa and a nice rest by the fire... to be fair, it's better written than a lot of both the genres it touches on.
As someone who's also been desperately looking for a Heyer substitute, I'm jotting the name of this one down! I mean, anything even halfway decent and reasonably amusing will do...
I can find second-hand copies pretty cheap on Amazon, so not too bad if I ever want to give it a try. :-)
You would think that given their popularity there would be more writers emulating Heyer, but her lightness and wit are hard to do...
I know - she made it look easy, but it's actually pretty difficult to pull off. But you would think so - and not necessarily even in the Regency, just witty, light, romantic comedies!

And you're right - that is a lovely cover.
