I've generally enjoyed the Quinn books I've read, but this is a dud. Mismatched couple, dickish dude, doormatty lady. The first act complication -- love interest abandons Miss Cheever, who must weather an unplanned pregnancy alone -- was so awful I was done with main man completely. Second act compl...
It was all rather sweet, writing definitely on the more sophisticated side in this genre. This whole "why won't you love me" thing got on my nerves. It dragged on for too long. The characters of Turner and Miranda were inconsistent. But I did not dislike either of them so that was ok. This book remi...
I’m a big fan of Julia Quinn and her awesome historical romances, but The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever (by the way, her diaries are really not a secret) just didn’t work for me. Well, more precisely, I didn’t like the hero, Turner. I like dark, brooding heroes in my HR as well as the next ...
As I was reading a bit serious books so wanted some “lighthearted-book” dose. And what could be more entertaining than a JQ book which will be filled with witty and sharp dialogs with a peculiar female protagonist. So that’s how I picked up this books. But this was a bit disappointing. It started of...
Torture. It was a real torture to read this awful book. Miranda was so pathetic and Turner, an ass. Their conversation for about a quarter of the book was about her beauty.. or lack of. And when she was only 10-year-old, it was like she was a teenager:- Miranda: people say I am plain.- Turner: you a...
I read this book sometime in 2007 and just picked it up again to reintroduce me to the characters before I read the next book,What Happens in London. I love Julia Quinn, but this one is not one of my favorites due to the lack of really anything happening. I know not every book can have a virgin stea...
Another great one by this author. Loved Miranda. The only complaint is that I don't see her turning her back on Turner so soon after they were married especially in that day and time. Hence the 4 star rating. But otherwise, well worth the read. I would recommend this book to...
"Miranda wasn't sure whether she wanted to laugh or to cry" That about sums about most of the book. I read this because I was looking for a feel good book but that didn't work out too well for me. I enjoyed it but I was also annoyed by it. For starters Nigel/Turner was a lot more mature when h...
Personaggi caratterizzati male e che rasentano l'idiozia.... non tanto lei (anche se alla fine ci cade pure lei) ma lui é assurdo senza spina dorsale al posto di essere l'eroe dannato risulta essere arrogante ed egoista... lei da ragazza intelligente trasformata una donna petulante e priva di buon s...
This book is alright. I found that it has a bit of a Jane Eyre taste to it (Mr Rochester - Turner) and it also reminded me of Pride and Prejudice (people supposed to be attracted to each other but snapping at each other during pages and pages).I liked the characters interaction but i wasn't hooked u...
