I’m reading | It’s in His Kiss by Julia Quinn


Madcap, touching, laugh-out-loud funny and thoroughly satisfying on all emotional levels, her latest London-set historical focuses on Hyacinth, the eighth sibling in Quinn’s bestselling Bridgerton family series (following When He Was Wicked). Too intelligent for her own good and best friends with Lady Danbury, one of society’s most outspoken grande dames, Hyacinth is in her fourth season on London’s Marriage Mart and again unimpressed by the male selection. Only Lady Danbury’s handsome, pockets-to-let grandson Gareth St. Clair can hold his own in a conversation with her and sometimes even leaves her in a speechless, stomach-flipping state. When Hyacinth offers to translate the diary of Gareth’s deceased Italian grandmother, the pair find themselves comparing notes, then exchanging kisses and finally burglarizing his estranged father’s house at midnight. But the diary also holds secrets that could jeopardize their new love. Practically bouncing with humor, this book will keep readers happily on edge, waiting to see how the final unmarried Bridgerton will fare in Quinn’s talented hands.

Because a girl needs distraction when she’s lounging around recovering from knee surgery. :-) Now you all know why I’m starting a new book every other day or so.

  • What kind of surgery did you have on your knee. Hey if I were in your position, I’d be reading like crazy too!!

    • I tore ligaments in my knee on our November vacation on the plane ride between LA and Sydney. So the Dr went in a cleaned things up. The upside is 3 weeks at home to do nothing but read :-)

  • Mary:

    Ouch! Here’s to a speedy recovery. One of my kids had knee surgery a couple of years ago – she’s doing great now. She ran a half marathon last summer : )

  • I absolutely LOVE Julia Quinn!! Is this your first read of hers? You need to hit that whole series! It’s a fantasic set of books!

    • It is my first read of hers. I’m hooked on Lisa Kleypas’ historical romances and I’m always on the lookout for someone who I’ll enjoy just as much.
