Title: A Night Like This
Review: It is official! I am a huge regency romance fan!! I should have realized that after I read
Pride and Prejudice a dozen times. This
book is a great romance with hot men and beautiful women who have issues and
cannot allow themselves to fall for the hot man. Rescues, stolen kisses, death threats and a
bit of sex, everything that makes a romance a romance.
I am a sucker for a man that falls for a women and then does everything
in his power to make her his. Yes this
is one of those romances and I have to say that it is a good one. I did not expect an intellectual story, or to
learn something new. I knew that this
book would be a romance and it is a great one of those. The description of the houses, clothes,
dishes, expectations of the day…all of these were clear and I enjoyed this
book.
I will be reading this author again and putting her name on my top
regency romance author lists. A
wonderful look at the regency era and the rules that governed those of nobility
and gentry. If you enjoy this type of
romance you will love this one….give it a try it reads really fast.

Synopsis: 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 ten-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…
Author Biography: #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn loves to
dispel the myth that smart women don't read (or write) romance, and in 2001 she
did so in grand style, competing on the the game show The Weakest Link and walking
away with the $79,000 jackpot. She displayed a decided lack of knowledge about
baseball, country music, and plush toys, but she is proud to say that she aced
all things British and literary, answered all of her history and geography
questions correctly, and knew that there was a Da Vinci long before there was a
code.
Ms. Quinn's books have been translated
into 22 languages, and she has been profiled in USA Today and TIME Magazine.
More recently, her novel What Happens in London was selected by the American
Library Association for a RUSA Award, honoring the best in genre fiction.
In 2010, Ms. Quinn won her third RITA
award in four years and became the youngest member of Romance Writers of
America's Hall of Fame.
