It's In His Kiss by Julia Quinn
5.0
This book is the seventh book in the Bridgerton book series, a series that as I may have mentioned earlier has been made into a TV series on Netflix. There has been only one season, centered around the first book in the series about Daphne Bridgerton, but the hope is that each season will be about a different book, meaning that there may end up being eight seasons of the TV series.
That being said, this book was about the youngest member of the Bridgerton clan, Hyacinth Bridgerton. Hyacinth meets Gareth St. Clair, a gentleman who is estranged from his father, Baron St. Clair, and is attempting to piece together his past and figure out who his biological father is, once he realizes that the baron is not. He encounters a diary written by his late grandmother, Isabella, who was Italian. He takes the diary to his other grandmother, Lady Danbury, hoping that she might know someone who could translate it for him. Hyacinth, who is good friends with Lady Danbury, happens to be visiting her at the time, and Hyacinth mentions that she knows some Italian and that she would be willing to try to translate it for him. The two embark on an adventure during which not only the questions of Gareth's origins will be revealed but also a potential inheritance in the shape of diamonds. Will they find what they are searching for or will they stumble upon something infinitely more precious?
Yet another one of Julia Quinn's books left me intrigued and wanting more. Usually, by this time, I have gotten bored with a series and moved on to something more interesting. But I am glad I haven't moved on from this series yet; I think Hyacinth might actually be one of my favorite characters in this series. She is such a strong-willed, independent, and stubborn woman. And her humor is so biting and sardonic. She and Gareth are a perfect match because his humor is a perfect complement to hers. I could listen to them trade insult after insult for pages. I cannot wait to read the last book.
