Description

2 March 1810 . . . Today, I fell in love.

At the age of ten, Miranda Cheever showed no signs of Great Beauty. And even at ten, Miranda learned to accept the expectations society held for her—until the afternoon when Nigel Bevelstoke, the handsome and dashing Viscount Turner, solemnly kissed her hand and promised her that one day she would grow into herself, that one day she would be as beautiful as she already was smart. And even at ten, Miranda knew she would love him forever.

But the years that followed were as cruel to Turner as they were kind to Miranda. She is as intriguing as the viscount boldly predicted on that memorable day—while he is a lonely, bitter man, crushed by a devastating loss. But Miranda has never forgotten the truth she set down on paper all those years earlier—and she will not allow the love that is her destiny to slip lightly through her fingers . . .

James, Eloisa
Both authors combine sensuality, humor, and strong heroines in a Regency setting. Readers may also appreciate how both authors write about ties of love outside of romance, including ties between close friends and family. -- Jennifer Lohmann
Cabot, Patricia
Julia Quinn fans will feel right at home reading Patricia Cabot's Historical Romances. They are fast-paced, action-packed, and sexy - as well as humorous. -- Krista Biggs
Laurens, Stephanie
Julia Quinn and Stephanie Laurens write friendly, engaging books filled with themes of family commitment and the abiding bonds of love. Both authors write well-crafted stories with great endings and warm, lovely moments while exploring issues of female power and the effects of childhood trauma. -- Victoria Fredrick
Quick, Amanda
Amanda Quick is frequently compared to Julia Quinn, and no wonder: they both write the same brand of historical romantic suspense, including strong family attachments, hidden agendas, and a large helping of humor and sexual tension. Both authors use witty dialogue to keep their stories moving along towards their satisfying conclusions. -- Katherine Johnson
MacLean, Sarah
Both write steamy Regency romances with plenty of humor and wit. Their books tell passionate love stories with real emotional heft and genuine understanding between the lovers. Their heroines are strong women who reach for their dreams, and are smart enough to know a good thing when they find it. -- Melissa Gray
Alexander, Victoria
Both Victoria Alexander and Julia Quinn write historical romances that focus on the character development of likable leading ladies and their romantic interests. Intriguing secondary characters in both authors' works often get their own novels. -- Shauna Griffin
Dare, Tessa
Writing engaging romances generally set in Regency England, these authors create complex, attractive heroines and smart, handsome heroes who are self-aware and clever. Their witty, humorous tales contain a wealth of steamy scenes and a richly-detailed London where social niceties are as important as affairs of the heart. -- Mike Nilsson
Kleypas, Lisa
Julia Quinn and Lisa Kleypas both write witty, steamy historical romances, primarily about the Regency and Victorian eras. They are known for their well-developed characters, banter-filled dialogue, and engaging storylines that lead to satisfying and well-earned conclusions. -- Halle Carlson
Bell, Lenora
Julia Quinn and Lenora Bell both write steamy Regency romances filled with witty banter and well-developed characters. Their novels balance the emotional heft of their stories with a dash of humor. -- Halle Carlson
Simmons, Deborah
Deborah Simmons writes humor-laced historical romance including several set in the Regency era. Her humor is a bit more "broad" than Quinn's, sometimes bordering on slapstick, and her romantic encounters are not as steamy, but she is certainly worth introducing to fans of Quinn's racy Regencies. -- Krista Biggs
Hawkins, Karen
Karen Hawkins writes with a style and tone very similar to Quinn's - and, like Quinn, her characters move in a rather small social circle and pop up in each other's books. -- Krista Biggs
Boyle, Elizabeth
These authors' works have the appeal factors steamy and banter-filled, and they have the genres "historical romances" and "regency romances"; and the subjects "nobility" and "english history."

Published Reviews

Publisher's Weekly Review

Quinn's first title since 1999 not to feature the Bridgerton clan (On the Way to the Wedding), this Regency concerns Miranda Cheever, who fell in love with the aristocratic Nigel Bevelstoke, Viscount Turner, when she was 10 and he 19. Now 20, and still in love, Miranda's designs are thwarted by the indiscretions of Nigel's late wife-heartbroken, Nigel isn't willing to risk another shot at love, even if it means hurting his close friend Miranda. Quinn's pitch-perfect humor remains intact, but her latest relies too much on romance conventions, including Miranda's scholarly but benignly neglectful father; an even more overused device involves Turner's hot-and-cold feelings toward Miranda, which reduce the heroine to tears more than once. However, the two make a lovable couple, and Miranda in particular shines, as do Turner's two siblings in strong secondary roles. Though a bit stale, this well-written, often funny and occasionally tender romance has much to enjoy. (July) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
