Right from the beginning, I liked Honoria. This is the first book in the Smith-Smythe quartet and to say that I’m anxious for more from this series (and these characters) is putting it mildly. She writes the ones that are funny and too cute for words.

She writes my most favorite kinds of romances. It’s Julia Quinn at her best, so you know the answer is. Now, I don't wont to say anything more detailed about the plot, as I and probably some over people don't particularly like spoilers, but you should buy this book and don't be put of by the 3stars, it isn't a three star book.Rowena’s review of Just Like Heaven (Smythe-Smith Quartet, Book 1) by Julia Quinn.Ī) a really bad violinist B) still miffed at being nicknamed “Bug” as a child C) not in love with her older brother’s best friend D) all of the aboveĪ) the Earl of Chatteris B) regrettably prone to sprained ankles C) not in love with his best friend’s younger sister D) all of the aboveĪ) eat quite a bit of chocolate cake B) survive a deadly fever and the world’s worst musical performance C) fall quite desperately in love It stands by itself as a must-read book and has, for me, reinstated Julia Quinn as a must-buy author again! It was also nice to finally get their stories after hearing so much about them in her other books, however, that is not the only reason you should buy this book. I'm can't wait for the next book in the Smythe-Smith Quartet to come out.

The characters were charming and I really wanted the hero and heroine to end up together, which they do so don't worry. 'Just Like Heaven' I felt was back to the Julia I know and love, I couldn't put the book down and read it in one sitting, which completely messed up my body clock but who cares. There was nothing wrong with the writing or the characters (except Olivia Bevelstoke, she was just plain annoying) but I just didn't feel the special connection with the book and if I'm honest I didn't really want to re-read them! Which I though was a shame as the first one in that series 'The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever was one of my favourite Julia Quinn's. However, her more recent books such as 'What Happens in London' and 'Ten Things I Love about You', in my opinion haven't been as good. I have been in love with Julia Quinn's writing for years and she has always been on my must-buy list.
