WHAT HAPPENS IN LONDON by Julia Quinn

WHAT HAPPENS IN LONDON
by
Julia Quinn

Avon
Historical Romance
Paperback
July 2009

When Olivia Bevelstoke heard her new neighbor Sir Harry Valentine had killed his fiancee she started to spy on him from her bedroom window.

Sir Harry worked as a translator for the "boring branch" of the War Office. Olivia Bevelstoke watching his every move from her bed chamber added much needed spice to his life.

Lady Mischief adored this romp through London society. The proposal scene left Lady Mischief chuckling for many minutes. This gem by Julia Quinn is not to be missed.

This is a full tissue box novel. You will laugh so hard your eyes will water. It is intelligent and funny. A must read for Historical Romance Lovers.

Four (4)

Yours forever between the covers of a book,
Lady Mischief

About Lady Mischief & Why She Reviews

This is a blog dedicated to the reader. The woman, or man, who spends money on a book and would like to know they are getting something worth the investment.

I am a Lady and a Mother.

I work, I shop, I budget, I read.

What I spend money on is very important to me. Every penny counts, so before I buy something I measure the value in three ways.
1. The cost of a loaf of bread.
2. The cost of a gallon of milk.
3. The cost of a pack of diapers.

If a book costs me 2 gallons of milk or a pack of diapers then it had better be worth it.

Romance readers range from stay-at-home Moms to Diplomats. From Waitresses to Molecular Scientists.

Some readers may earn less than $10,000 per year while others make more than $100,000.

The woman who works in the diner and spent half the day cleaning and restocking without a customer in sight (which means no tips) may be working 3-4 hours just to buy one paperback book.

Buying a book, even a paperbook, can be the equivalent of 2-3 hours pay for some people, when you factor in deductions.

The book they buy had better be a good one.

That is why I decided to include books which rate a 1 or a 2 ice treat in my reviews. If I had to spend my money on them and read them, then it is my duty to save the rest of the reading world from having to read the same dreck.

If I give a book 3 ice treats it means it is a good book and you should read it. I have no doubts about it.

Four (4) treats mean there is something special.

Five (5) treats is truly outstanding.

A two (2) is readable, barely, you might like it better than I did.

But a one (1), honey, I wouldn't touch that one with someone else's Kindle.

What it all means

Five (5)
