A Night Like This

De: Julia Quinn

Narrado por: Rosalyn Landor

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....

Excellent read

It was so good that I could not put it down. There were many funny parts and some scary. I enjoyed the first book and decide that I wanted to read the whole series.

Best book Julia has written

I think this is the best book I’ve read that Julia Quinn has written yet ...

the voices she brought in Life

I loved it so very much I have enjoyed all of Julia Quinns books

One of my favorite Julia Quinn books

I’ve been reading all of Julia Quinn’s books. This one reminds me of An offer from a Gentleman BUT BETTER. One of the best love stories so far and of course the narrator is always amazing. I read/listened to this book all in one day. I absolutely love this book!

Heartwarming

This is a great book for those who love quinn’s stories. Cute story and endearing characters. Narrators did a wonderful job!

Laugh Out Loud (yes, LOL) characters

If you like absurd, light-hearted humor with your romance, you can't do better than Julia Quinn, especially her Smythe-Smith Quartet series (though most of her books are set in this world of characters). The Smythe-Smith unmarried daughters (cousins and sisters) are following the long held family tradition of forming a quartet for their renowned annual musicale. Renowned, that is, for how awful the music is - always. Yet most of the Smythe-Smith performers, past and present, are clueless to their incompetence.

This year, one of the current crop is competent and cannot stomach taking part in the musicale one more time. She conveniently falls ill on the day of the performance. Our heroine, Anne, currently hiding out as a governess, is forced to save the musicale... well, as much as anyone could save it.

She is spotted by Daniel who has only just returned after years of living in exile on the Continent. Anne has no interest in a relationship that would certainly result in exposing her secrets.

With moments of hilarity, fear, regrets, and passion, love does find a way to prevail.

Well done

Ms. Quinn gets your attention and keeps it with believable actors and snappy dialogue.
Narration is very satisfactory.

Another brilliant combination of author and narrator

I love this combination of author and narrator. They’ve both done an amazing job. I adore this story. Enough twinges of sadness to make it realistic without being depressing, and some thrilling moments with a clear HAE on the way… though the way they got there is unique as always I loved the characters. Loved the story.

Excellent listen

This book has everything...love, romance, drama, humor, a little suspense and lovely characters. All this perfection was created by Julia Quinn and presented by Roz Landor.....a perfect pair.
The nine hours of this audio book passed so very quickly and my attention was caught from the first chapter. Julia and Roz had my attention throughout the book. And as in all great romances, there was a very happy ending.
The Smythe-Smith family is amazing and so funny!!!

One of my favorites of Julia Quinn stories.

I love this story so much I have listened to many times it's amazing and beautiful.
