After spending the last three years of his life away from England and looking over his shoulder for danger, Daniel Smythe-Smith, the Earl of Winstead, is finally able to return home. Eager to be back with his family, Daniel discovers he's more eager to find out who the mysterious woman is who's taking part in his family's annual musicale. Enchanted by his cousin's governess, Daniel will let nothing get in his way of pursuing the lovely lady, not even a little danger.
Running from a scandalous past of her own, Anne Wynter may not be happy pretending to be someone she's not but she has finally found a position with a family she's happy with. So when Daniel appears in her life, tempting her with all the things a governess shouldn't yearn for when it comes to the nobility, she finds herself ignoring her own good advice. With danger lurking nearby though, Anne isn't sure if it's her enemy or Daniel's who is out to get them. And if she doesn't trust Daniel with the truth soon, it may be too late for everyone.
Julia Quinn's A NIGHT LIKE THIS picks up where Just Like Heaven left off. Though probably not one of her more memorable books, I thought A NIGHT LIKE THIS was an enjoyable read. Quinn, who's known for her delightful banter and colorful characters, delivers another light- hearted read that will keep you giggling. I will say I found the use of the Smythe-Smith annual musicale more of a side thought than anything else. Seeing how the Smythe-Smith's are known throughout Quinn's books for their bad musicales, I thought we'd get a bit more acquainted with their bad recitals. A NIGHT LIKE THIS may not have been my favorite Quinn book, but I would still recommend you absolutely read it. No one does fun, funny and heart-warming historicals like Julia Quinn and A NIGHT LIKE THIS is no exception.
