Chapter 9
I wish this book is done in any other perspective other than violet. This is like pulling teeth

This is giving me Bridgerton vibes
The eldest son who is carrying the burden of being the head of the family
His parents being a love match
His mother a grieving young widow
His fathers unexpected death


Let’s see

Ooooh we are starting it spicy

Can’t believe I’ve chosen this book to attempt to get out of my book reading coma … the way that this chapter ended was badly written

Oh god …. I thought this book couldn’t get any more clich but an encounter at the lake while one of the protagonists is naked ! Gosh haven’t seen that in fan fiction ever

Jaw drops and hits the floor
No.... noooooo!!!!!

Because I hated what they did to Anthony in the TV series season 1. I want to revisit this again as I await season 2. Hopefully they get his character right

Scissors .... leg .... skin
Throws up due to actually listening to the description of what is gonna happen

I feel like they are going to make Cal the end game but I really like Maven! He’s such a good guy

Though this has taken me a while to finish, I feel I can remember the events and the characters even after weeks of not picking this book up and that is amazing


I REALLY don’t want a love triangle between the two brothers but my gut is saying it is 1000% heading in that direction

Though I have already read this book in 2011. I feel like I need to re-read/re-listen to every series of Julia Quinn to relive its magic as I catch up with the books in the series that I did not read. So Here we go with the Smythe-Smith series!)

I can’t believe she included Edmunds death scene 😭😭😭😭

I can’t ... I just can’t read this anymore

Waaaaaaaaay too scientific ... I’m skipping to page 30

Well we all knew what the climax was

Why do I feel that Gregory is so underrated? Rarely do we see readers swoon over him

Chapter 22
Oh Gregory 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔

Chapter 12
Hazelbee is gay and his father is desperate to get him married
That’s why he’s been forcing this to happen as soon as possible
I figured it out

Chapter 9
Gregory is such a delight ... even drunk
Never thought Of it before but he reminds me of Colin

The prologue of this story is SO CLEAR to me, even though ive read this back in 2010-2012. I remember the beginning of this book SO CLEARLY. i also know the twists that are coming but not as vividly and i look forward to finishing this book and series <3

Oh Hyacinth ... that’s so cute In so many ways ... even today...

It’s such a delight and so weird to read / listen to Hyacinths story ... it’s like we saw her grow up in this series

Chapter 3
Lady Danbury! XD XD

+ Point to Izzy! The girl can think on her feet and get herself a companion ! well done!

Yes Izzy!! Get that first kiss!

Chapter 4

YAS! Beauty & the beast with a broken blind hero! This book is my kind of book! I hope the heroine isn't a mary jane or a pushover!

Oh no there are 3 chapters left!! Nooooooo! I'm not ready!!!

Oh no if you kill UB I'm SO DONE! Don't you dare kill UB!!

Wait wait wait what?!! No Gemma 💔
