Back in 2007, I mainly read mystery novels, save for the Harlequin Blaze and Temptations I’d borrow from my mom.

Julia Quinn is my new all time favorite writer! This book was perfect in my opinion. There were ups and downs, the romance was perfect, Turner tried to reject his feeling and Miranda knew she loved him from the tender age of 10. Their struggles and joys touched my heart and I laughed and cried with them! So wonderful!
Upon re-read, I realized how much I actually loathed Nigel aka Turner as a hero in this series. He was a d-bag until the last few chapters of the story and I couldn't justify his behavior with the excuse that he had a wretched first wife. On the flip side, I liked Miranda but she reminded me of myself, which makes me biased. Not one of my favorite Quinn books, but decent enough.
