This book captured my attention in the first paragraph and kept it. It was a wonderful read. The characters were a bit different from typical romantic hero and heroine. They seemed almost more real. Julia Quinn herself acknowledges this difference in her introductions by saying that for the first time in her writing career she made the characters fall in love at first sight. This changes the opening of the book entirely. We do not spend ages waiting for the two lead characters to realize they love eachother, but share in their joy at finding true love early on. We agonize with them as circumstances tear them apart and then root for them to find eachother again and remember what it was that they fell in love with in the first place. It was a lovely piece of writing and a very refreshing change from the typical English Regency Romance pattern.Read full review
I absolutly adore this book! It goes from love at first sight, to loss, to redemtion seemlessly and in a way I am sure most people can relate to. Unlike other romance novels does not go through the "I want him, but I shouldn't/can't have him, but I can't stop myself" storyline which is always refreshing. If you are a fan of historical romance novels, Julia Quinn, romance novels in general or Jane Austen definatly add this to your list of must reads.
Really enjoyed this quick read from Julia Quinn. If you liked the Bridgertons you’ll like this one.
