I liked that about Honoria: she wanted to get married and have a family. She misses having a family around her – a loud, vivacious family. Honoria’s mother is depressed about it, and Honoria would really very much like to get married and have a family of her own. Her next oldest sibling, Daniel, left England in disgrace some years back. Honoria Smythe-Smith is lonely, as her older siblings have all married and moved on, and her house is silent and not as fun as it was when she was a child. So when I learned that Julia Quinn’s next book was about the Smythe-Smith family, hosts of the infamously bad musicale from the Bridgerton series, I was curious. I love the friendly style of the writing, the warmth of the family – and have mercy, the depiction of a sane and loving mother and a family that actually likes one another. If I go near it, I lose two hours because I will reread it again for the three hundred and forty-seventh time. One of my favorite historical romances is “ The Duke and I” by Julia Quinn, which started the Bridgerton series.
