Julia Quinn
Based on the phenomenal growth of Quinn's popularity, and her four-week stint on the New York Times bestseller list with Romancing Mr Bridgerton, it's the perfect time to revisit Ms Quinn's 'splendid' storytelling.American heiress Emma Dunster has always been fun-loving and independent with no wish to settle into marriage. She plans to enjoy her Season in London in more unconventional ways than husband-hunting. But this time Emma's high-jinks lead her into dangerous temptation...Alexander Ridgely, the Duke of Ashbourne, is a notorious rake who carefully avoids the risk of love...until he plants one reckless kiss on the sensuous lips of this high-spirited innocent...and condemns himself to delicious torment. Little does he know that his passion has touched the very soul of the lovely enchantress...and committed them both to a lifetime of splendid ecstasy.

"<strong>Longer than expected. </strong><br/><br/>I would have given this 5 stars if it weren’t for the length. I don’t mind lengthy books however this one just seemed pointless long. I kept waiting for it to end but kept realizing there was no end in sight. I did truly enjoy the story. However, 3/4 of the way through it started to become a tad boring for me. At the very end it picked up again and made for an enjoyable book overall."
