tammyhai 's review for:

A Night Like This by Julia Quinn

4.0

---

And to think I nearly swore off Julia Quinn romances after what could be described only as a tepid first novel for what could be a hilariously fun series. I don't know about anyone else, but the Smythe-Smith ladies and their tonedeaf musicales have completely charmed me and I was so ready to delve into their world! Unfortunately, "Just Like Heaven" left me a little disappointed. All faith has been restored after "A Night Like This!"

I really liked this one. Quinn wove a little mystery into our love story and I found myself thoroughly engaged, wanting to know more about our mysterious Anne Wynter. The budding romance between her and the (honestly a little aggravating Daniel, at times) was sweet and steamy. Though I was trying to explain a particularly heated moment to my husband and it's not at sexy when you describe it as "intense staring." This is why I don't write books.

I'm back on the Quinn train after this one.
