Just Like Heaven

By: Julia Quinn

Narrated by: Rosalyn Landor

Once again, #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn transports her readers to historical romance heaven! Quinn’s Just Like Heaven is the dazzling first installment of a delightful quartet of Regency Era-set tales featuring the romantic exploits of the well-meaning but less-than-accomplished Smythe-Smith musicians—in this case, a beautiful violinist in the pitiful group who has her sights set on marrying the last unwed Bridgerton…unless her handsome, love-struck guardian has anything to say about it. Bridgerton fans will cry, “Encore!”—as will every reader who adores England’s Regency period and great love stories that are smart, witty, and lighthearted.

Classic Quinn!

Great characters, great plot, witty dialogue. What's not to like? You really can't go wrong with Quinn.

What am I missing?

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Everything but the narrator who was wonderful as always. I'm sorry but this book was painful to get through. It was so boring.....very slow moving...not enough of anything. I must be missing something because so many reviewers loved this book.

Good start but feels incomplete

This story has a lot of great potential but there are many loose ends never tied up.

The ending of the story felt more like the climax. Quite a few things were not wrapped up and it just didnt feel as well thought out as Quinn’s other stories.


For example: (warning spoilers)

How did the mom react when Daniel returned?
Why could Daniel return now but now before? He says the man after him was crazy but then says all is food now. What changed?

What happened to the mother’s letters? Did Daniel write or lie about the letters. Or did something happen to them?

Where did the governess go? Marcus seemed to know her but nothing came of this. Why put in the detail like something was going on and then drop it? Where did she go after the musical?

Does lady Danbury buy a new violin?

A lovely story!

Just Like Heaven was a breath of fresh air to me. After reading the same dreary story lines again and again, this one finally made me smile! The characters were endearing, the story enchanting and Julia Quinn had me wrapped around this quaint little family from the get go. Give Just Like Heaven a read if you want to be sucked into a wonderful little story!!

Thoroughly enjoyable!

Once again Julia Quinn brings us an intelligent yet fun story. She is never disappointing.
