One of my favorite Historical Romances

If Rosalyn Landor has ever done a bad job on a Julia Quinn novel, I've certainly never heard it. This is one of my favorite Quinn books and one of my very favorite historical romances. Brother's best friend + Caretaking scenes + Families that want them together. So swoony.

Hysterical

I’m an avid fan. And have read all the Bridgerton books. The descriptions of the musicals had me doubled over in hysterics. This is such a funny story.

One of My Favorite Authors and Narrators

This is a sweet, "quiet" read without the thrills and chills required by some readers. In the style of a Georgette Heyer this is a wonderful character study full of family situations and the wit so wonderfully written by Julie Quinn. Rosalyn Landor is one of my favorite narrators, in the top echelon of narrators, and her work here does not disappoint in any way. I loved her work on this book and as always was so awed by her talent and ability. I look forward to future books by Ms. Quinn about some of the characters in this book and hope that Ms. Landor is the narrator.

Glad I stayed with it!

A very humorous book!

I love a book in which I laugh through most of it! This book is such a one! The Earl, Marcus, has known his best friend, Daniel's sister, Honoria, for most of his life - but never was attracted to her when they were both young - but now she's grown into a woman, and although, at first, Marcus doesn't know what to call or, he is falling more and more in love with Honoria - she is the only one who really understands him. However, before he was forced to leave the country, Daniel asks Marcus to "look after" his sister, Honoria, to make sure she doesn't marry a jerk! It's a lovely funny story, I think one of Julia Quinn's best!

Love any books by Julia Quinn.

She writes great romance full of so much emotions and just enough laughter to keep things light.

One of the best

I love JQ and this book was one of my favorites!! A very sweet love story 💕
