REVIEW:  A Night Like This by Julia Quinn

REVIEW: A Night Like This by Julia Quinn

Dear Ms. Quinn— It’s taken me way too long to write up my review of your latest Regency romance A Night Like This. I finished it weeks ago and found it wanting but couldn’t figure out what exactly it wanted. So, I went back and read several older books of yours I think are grand.(…)

REVIEW: Just Like Heaven by Julia Quinn

REVIEW: Just Like Heaven by Julia Quinn

Dear Ms. Quinn, When Jane sent me the arc of your upcoming book “Just Like Heaven,” I was torn. On the one hand, it’s a Julia Quinn book and I’ve adored so many of your past books. On the other hand, some of your most recent books haven’t worked for me. I think the last(…)

REVIEW: What Happens in London by Julia Quinn

Dear Ms. Quinn: Confession time. I don’t remember much about The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever.   I vaguely remember Olivia, best friend of Miranda, younger sister of the hero but her flavor wasn’t with me when I started What Happens in London.

REVIEW: The Lost Duke of Wyndham by Julia Quinn

Dear Mrs. Quinn, Even after I failed to appreciate your last book, I was eagerly awaiting this one. I knew nothing about it until I started reading it and then read the review at AAR. I do agree that the plot, a young highwayman being abducted by his Dowager Duchess grandmother because she’s convinced he’s(…)

REVIEW: The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever by Julia Quinn

Dear Ms Quinn, I don’t think I’m alone in having wondered what you would do next after the last Bridgerton novel was released a year ago (and I don’t count the flimsy 2nd Epilogues as really doing anything). “The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever” doesn’t appear as though it will lead to the sequelitis(…)

REVIEW:  The Duke and I by Julia Quinn

REVIEW: The Duke and I by Julia Quinn

Dear Ms. Quinn: The Duke And I (Bridgerton Series, Bk. 1), the first in the Bridgerton series, was a time that I reconnected with an old favorite author. While your trademark has always been frothy, light regencies, I’ve always held a place in my heart for the girl next door, Daphne Bridgerton, and her romantic(…)
