The first book in the Bevelstoke series: witty, irresistibly romantic and by the bestselling author of the global phenomenon Bridgerton

'2nd March 1810 . . . Today, I fell in love'

At the age of ten, Miss Miranda Cheever showed no signs of ever becoming a Great Beauty. Her hair was lamentably brown, her eyes the same muddy colour, and her legs, which were uncommonly long, lacked anything which might remotely be called grace. So, even at ten, Miranda learned to accept the expectations society held for her - until the afternoon when the handsome and dashing Viscount Turner solemnly kissed her hand and promised her that one day she would grow into herself, that one day she would be as beautiful as she already was smart. Even at ten, Miranda knew she would love him forever.

Now, eight years later, Miranda is a woman grown, and Turner an embittered widower. But she has never forgotten his kindness. Indeed, in her diary she confides the truth: she has never stopped loving Turner, and she has never stopped hoping that one day he will see her as more than a naive girl . . .

Watching the Bridgertons on Netflix has reminded me that I still had this one on my tbr pile. I loved the Bridgerton books and I hoped I would find something similar with this. And I did. Julia Quinn's characters are exactly like I remembered them (I read the Bridgerton series about 10 years ag0). They are lovely to be around, funny and sarcastic. The hero is - of course - unbelievably charming and our heroine is head over heels for him. The story in this one didn't quite reach me, though. I loved to read about Miranda and Turner, but the last third of the book somehow lost its magic on me. The ending dragged too much for my liking.
