Meet our Hero Lady Danbury's grandson is none other than the nortorious Gareth St. Clair. Although it proberly wasnt entirely his fault that he gained such a wicked reputation. There were plenty of other men who behaved with equal lack of propriety and more than a few who were as handsome as sin, but Gareth St. Clair was the only one who manged to combine the two with such success.

Thank heavens for Spring Cleaning!
A year or so ago I began reading Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series and after devouring the first six books back to back, I set them aside and moved on to something else. Well here I am a year later and in the spirit of “Spring Cleaning,” I decided I’d catch up on those books that were just sitting on my shelves collecting dust, and that included the final two Bridgerton books.

It's another great Bridgerton story from Julia Quinn. There are parts that just had me chuckling out loud - made my husband look at me a couple of times and ask what was so funny. But Gareth's struggle was so touching. My favorite heros are the tormented ones who are healed by love and Gareth definitely qualifies.

I say, Julia Quinn must have made a deal with the devil, because, AGAIN: such a great book this is, and cute too, actually, it’s probably the cutest one in the series. I’m still to read the last one, so I can’t be 100% sure of that statement, but yeah, I’m almost certain Hyacinth and Gareth will win the Cutest Book in the Series Award.

I love Ms. Quinn's depictions of Hayacinth in this story. She was a wild and mischievous child, and grew up to be an extremely intelligent and still mischievous woman. This was such a fun book, and at the same time had some serious undertones. I found my stomach clenching up in excitement and nervousness. There is a lot of Lady Danbury throughout the book, and she and Hyacinth are a great pair! But I also think that Garreth is a perfect match for her. He is witty and charming, and smart en

This was not one of my favorites of the series. It took me awhile to warm up the h/h both. Then I felt Gareth was a toad for some of the book, when he asked Hyacinth to marry him. The last 1/4 of the book was the best part, but couldn't recover the 4th star.

Another great read in the Bridgerton Series! Quinn did another awesome job and after the 7th book in the series she still makes me laugh out loud! There is never a moment where Hyacinth Bridgerton can keep her mouth shut. Being the youngest in the family she'll do anything to get her way! Her family is so eager to marry her off so when Gareth St. Clair enters the picture her family is ecstatic! She helps Gareth St. Clair translate his grandmothers mysterious diary and during their late night esc

เล่มนี้เป็นเรื่องราวของน้องสาวคนสุดท้อง
จะออกแนวขำขัน .. มีดราม่าเล็ก ๆ แต่เหมือนไม่ค่อยสุด
อาจจะเป็นเพราะบุคคลิกของพระเอก ที่ดูเข้มแข็ง
และฉลาดเกินกว่าจะมานั่งเศร้าเสียใจกับคนไม่มีเหตุผลคนหนึ่ง (แต่ไม่อาจปฏิเสธได้ว่ามันเจ็บ)
ชอบความเป็นคนน่ากลัวของนางเอก (ฉลาดเกินไป รู้มากเกินไป พูดมากเกินไป พูดตรงเกินไป ฯลฯ )

I enjoyed this one a lot mostly because Hyacinth is AWESOME. I especially enjoyed all her scenes with Violet and Lady Danbury. I enjoyed the cat burgling and the mystery of the Italian grandmother's missing diamonds. The mystery of Gareth's parentage, and his relationship with his dad was kind of meh, though. and again, like in When He Was Wicked, I had to side-eye his use of sex to make sure Hyacinth couldn't back out of the wedding. Especially since the heroes in Quinn's novels repeatedly and

I think I want to jump for joy. After the disaster that was When He Was Wicked, I'm so glad this book was fabulous. Of course, how could it not be when it is about Hyacinth Bridgerton? She and Gareth are my second favorite couple of this series (after Colin and Penelope, of course).

I was a little nervous about starting this book because there were considerably more negative reviews to this book than the previous books in the Bridgertons series. I had enjoyed these books so much that I didn't want to spoil my enjoyment by reading one that would leave me with a sour taste in my mouth. Several reviewers commented on the difficulty they had in liking the male lead of this story, Gareth. But, despite the complaints, I read on. I'm glad that I did. This is a little differen

The book opens with a backstory on Gareth St.Clair. We learn of his relationship with hisfather and how they became estranged, which is a big part of the book.

Another entertaining book from Julia Quinn's Bridgerton Series featuring the youngest daughter of the family, Hyacinth, who is witty, smart, knows what she wants and is, thus, automatically not at all attractive enough for any of the guys in the ton as they fail to match up with her in the battle of wits and wisdom. To endure it all, comes along Gareth St. Clair, flamboyant, rakish, confident and smart, who has his own personal problems, the major being conflicts with his father who totally dete

Really enjoyed this book. So lovely and lightly turned out. Felt like the fulfillment of JQ's potential that was always evident to me but so often miscast in the books of hers that I've read. Not to say exactly JQ at her best because I do believe she could do better, in terms of writing something with more emotional heft and wrench. The book was fun, and yes, it did have its requisite share of tortured backstory (I'm getting a little bored of JQ's heros all having similar father issues, but I do

What an adorable book! Hyacinth is my favorite Bridgerton, now and forever. It doesn't hurt that she's made an appearance in every book thus far, and I started this one feeling like I already knew her. And Lady Danbury is, of course, the best! I couldn't get enough of their snarking over Miss Butterworth. Hilarious. And Gareth's misbehavior at the "recitation," oh my god. Hilarious!

a short one, but what I loved most about It's In His Kiss is the lack of angst.
That's not to say there's none; there's plenty of angst between Gareth and Daddy St Clair, but there's a notable lack thereof between Gareth and Hyacinth. It was a pleasant change of pace. They like each other, they fall in love, and it's all rather sweet.

As the youngest of the very lively Bridgerton clan, Hyacinth has had to stand out and make herself heard. Coming across a overly outspoken and willing to outwit anyone, Hyacinth is starting to see there may be more to her mundane life and herself when in walks someone who not only can outwit her but can render her speechless!

I think I need to get off my roll of historical romances for a while and switch up genres. This is the first Julia Quinn novel I've read, and I sort of liked it, and sort of didn't. It had a tad bit of mystery in it I suppose, but not enough romance to me. I just didn't find the characters that endearing and really, truly, falling in love. It didn't help any that I kept wondering how to pronounce "Gareth's" name. I tend to not read series from the 1st book either, and this is the 7th
