A guilty pleasure. Not that much profundity or depth in the subject matter, at least how it was portrayed, but if we’re all being honest the author wasn’t really going for that. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the writing. Julia Quinn is talented with prose, no doubt about it, and it was refreshing to read a well-written bodice ripper type. Overall just fun.
