About this ebook
Nora Roberts calls Julia Quinn’s novels, “Delightful.” The #1 New York Times bestselling creator of the irresistible Bridgerton family, Quinn offers historical romance readers new delights with A Night Like This—the second book (following the phenomenal Just Like Heaven) to feature the affairs, romantic and melodic, of the endearing, if painfully untalented, Smythe-Smith musicians. On A Night Like This in Regency England, anything can happen, especially when a beautiful pianist sitting in at the annual Smythe-Smith musicale catches the eye of a haunted, hunted man in desperate need of redemption. There is simply no author in the realm of historical romance fiction hotter than the remarkable Julia Quinn—and anyone who has ever been swept away by the love stories of Amanda Quick, Lisa Kleypas, or Jill Barnett will cherish A Night Like This.

The main issue I had with this book was the superficial way they fell in love. Though I like Daniel and Anne I never felt the connection between them though I realize it was meant to be a love at first sight (whereas in the first book it was sibling type relationship for years growing into love and in the next book it was deep dislike turning into love). But the book delves into characters from the rest of the stores and I did enjoy it from that perspective.

The characters themselves were well written but I didn't feel the attraction as well as other JQ novels. The plot felt a bit stagnant in parts but still a good overall story

Not my favourite book of this author, that's for sure. Light and in places exciting, but just not very interesting. The ending is not not very logical and feels very pushed.
