Publisher's summary

Anne Wynter might not be who she says she is....

But she's managing quite well as a governess to three highborn young ladies. Her job can be a challenge: in a single week she finds herself hiding in a closet full of tubas, playing an evil queen in a play that might be a tragedy (or might be a comedy; no one is sure), and tending to the wounds of the oh-so-dashing Earl of Winstead. After years of dodging unwanted advances, he's the first man who has truly tempted her, and it's getting harder and harder to remind herself that a governess has no business flirting with a nobleman.

Daniel Smythe-Smith might be in mortal danger....

But that's not going to stop the young earl from falling in love. And when he spies a mysterious woman at his family's annual musicale, he vows to pursue her, even if that means spending his days with a 10-year-old who thinks she's a unicorn. But Daniel has an enemy, one who has vowed to see him dead. And when Anne is thrown into peril, he will stop at nothing to ensure their happy ending....

Great book

Julia Quinn is an amazing writer! Great book!
The book was very entertaining! I have enjoyed reading all the books from that era.

My favorite of the series

OMG this book is so funny. Also full of action and suspense. The best one so far.

Not what I'd hoped for

I have loved Julia Quinn's books forever. I have grown to expect enjoyable characters presented with humor. Fun books to read. This one was more your average historical romance with less of the humor I love from Julia Quinn. I enjoyed the children in this book, but more could have happened with them - she doesn't milk the unicorn girl for all she's worth. I still enjoyed the novel, it just wasn't fabulous, and usually Quinn is close to fabulous.

Good Book

Narration was very nice.
Story was very good also. The author is one I enjoy reading/listening to.

Another wonderful story

Loved it. Full of suspense, romance, stated so vividly that I could picture every scene as if it were on video.

narrator for the story on a night like this

I absolutely love the way Rosalyn Landor narrates a story she is marvelous marvelous
speaker.

a night like this

I love Daniel and Ann. Very good book couldn't stop listening to it. Great from begin to end.

Listening fun.

Julia Quinn does it again. Of course. Those Smythe-Smith musicales sure bring on the HEAs or have some hand in it some how. Ann and Daniel make another lovely couple as each is (or had been) in fear of being murdered. No spoilers here. Simply know the reader is in for smart dialogue, a twisting plot and a love story catching two young people by happy surprise. Historical England and romance and intrigue at its best. Rosalyn Landor unsurprisingly narrates in her usual superb manner.

Excellent Story with Romance

Put into service and cast off by her family, because she believed the man who seduced her would marry her, 16 year Annalise is on the run from her ex-lover. She then meets Daniel, who is an Earl and one of the family members who she works for. Suspicious accidents occur not only harming Annalise, but anyone who is with her. Good story with romance and action.
Rosalyn Landor is an excellent narrator. 

Maybe Julia Quinn is not for me

Again the magic eludes me, I wanted to love this book, I really did, and for the life of me I don't get why her books don't move me, they just don't inspire any passion in me like Lisa Kleypas' novels do.
But I guess if you are a die hard fan of Julia Quinn you will find it enjoyable, for me this novel was just a little better than meh! And it's not the writing or the likeability of the characters, I just don't know what it is.
Rosalyn Landor's performance is as flawless and as terrific as always.
