A simple and light romance, which is sometimes just what you need
When I first started reading romances, Julia Quinn was one of my favorite authors and I fell absolutely in love with her Bridgerton series, as I know many other romance readers did as well. The past few years, her books have been uneven for me, so I was a little nervous about picking this one up. The Smythe-Smiths were famous (or infamous is probably more accurate) but would it be what you expect from a Quinn book - a fun and light ...more

Typical Quinn romance -- a good thing since I really like her books. The dialogue and banter were, as always, fun and witty.

This is a very good romance novel with two very intriguing main characters and some unusual plot twists.
Not my favorite Julia Quinn...
