I wanted to strangle a few of the characters, Sir Richard especially. Iris deserved so much more!

Another great book from Julia Quinn in the Smythe-Smith series. I would love for there to be more in this series. Loved seeing Iris get her happy ending.

Me gustó, pero llega a desesperar cuando avanzas y avanzas en la historia y no te enteras del secreto de Sir Richard. Cuando te enteras de los motivos, cobran sentido todas las acciones, pero tal ves el golpe de dolor es más por parte de Iris, cuando acepta la situación aunque no está de acuerdo.
El romance en general, no es de lo mejor que ha escrito la autora, es bastante ligero, un slow burn en toda regla, cosa que casi nunca los disfruto y cuando llega a las escenas de pasión, no es que te deje sin palabras, no es algo reseñable.
Aqui lo que más le da ese toque especial y gracioso, son las escenas dónde aparecen las otras Smythe-Smith

I wish there had been more of "The Shepherdess, The Unicorn, and Richard VIII." And more of Fleur and Marie-Claire. I suspect we will get Marie-Claire's story in a future series. I mean, she'll be playing the viola with the Smythe-Smith quartet, right?

I thought this book was very well written. I have always thought that dialogue was one of Julia Quinn's strengths and this book did not disappoint in that area. I also had no idea what Sir Richard's secret may be until, BAM! There it was. I wouldn't have guessed it in a million years! Wow! I have read many reviews who are calling him Sir Dick which I think is super funny, but I was able to forgive him for being such an ass. He had good motives if not good reasoning. There was also another surprise that I did not see coming that his younger sister, Marie Claire, shares with Iris. Oh my goodness! Good stuff, several surprises, and Julia Quinn dialogue...who could ask for more?

Very disappointing. The Smythe-Smith quartet has not been my favorite series in general, but this was by far, one of her weaker efforts. It just felt that the story was not going anywhere, with all this hinting at how much Iris would hate Richard. Without spoiling anything, I fail to see how the "secret" was the only solution. Very poor character development.
I will hope that her next book/series is better. For now, I will read the Bridgertons or some of her earlier books if I want a Quinn fix.
