I was so excited for this book as Julia Quinn is a favorite of mine; I normally love her work and I also (surprise, surprise) love to see the quiet/shy girl get the guy. Though there was witty dialog and moments that had me laughing out loud, I really have to say I was disappointed and bothered by many aspects of this book.

PRAISE:
(1) Funny moments that will make you laugh
(2) Connection between Turner and Miranda is interesting to watch in about the first half of the book
(3) I liked Olivia and Tu ...more

Finished this up quickly while taking down Christmas decor and housekeeping. Really enjoyed it ithough the hero was quite the rat for most of the book. Loved Miranda and her smart and strong personality and insistence on making her own way.

I liked this book because it was a bit different from the normal formula romance. I liked the characters, the setting, and the plot that moved along nicely.
