Publisher Description
Meet Our Hero . . .
Gareth St. Clair is in a bind. His father, who detests him, is determined to beggar the St. Clair estates and ruin his inheritance. In this delightful Regency romance, Gareth’s sole bequest is an old family diary, which may or may not contain the secrets of his past . . . and the key to his future. The problem is—it’s written in Italian, of which Gareth speaks not a word.
Meet Our Heroine . . .
All the ton agreed: there was no one quite like Hyacinth Bridgerton. She’s fiendishly smart, devilishly outspoken, and according to Gareth, probably best in small doses. But there’s something about her—something charming and vexing—that grabs him and won’t quite let go . . .
Meet Poor Mr. Mozart . . .
Or don’t. But rest assured, he’s spinning in his grave when Gareth and Hyacinth cross paths at the annual—and annually discordant—Smythe-Smith musicale. To Hyacinth, Gareth’s every word seems a dare, and she offers to translate his diary, even though her Italian is slightly less than perfect. But as they delve into the mysterious text, they discover that the answers they seek lie not in the diary, but in each other . . . and that there is nothing as simple—or as complicated—as a single, perfect kiss.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Witty banter, intriguing mystery, and fiery romance collide in this fun and flirty installment of Julia Quinn’s endlessly popular Bridgerton series. Gareth St. Clair finds himself in an unexpected situation when he comes into possession of a family diary written in Italian. He must solve the mysteries within its pages, but he can’t embark on the quest alone—especially since he doesn’t speak a word of the language. Good thing that he soon meets the tenacious, intelligent, and multilingual Hyacinth Bridgerton. We adored the endless angst and bickering between Gareth and Hyacinth, particularly as Gareth attempts to overcome his extensive daddy issues and immaturity. And while the developing relationship had us hooked, the acerbic and sharp-tongued Lady Danbury—Gareth’s grandmother, who rules London society with a stomp of her cane—repeatedly steals the show with her hilarious one-liners. Whether you’re a die-hard Bridgerton fan or someone who just wants to dive into an enjoyable Regency-era romp, you’ll devour It’s In His Kiss.
Customer Reviews
Pretty good
Ive enjoyed reading about the different characters and how they “find” each other to also discover true love.
Witty and Fun
Loved Gareth. He was the perfect match for Hyacinth. This novel was sexy and sweet. His grandmother added additional levity to the story. I have loved all of Julia Quinn’s books but this is one of the best.
Hardly readable
It’s a strange flow, hardly any story and nothing happens. I am 100% sure the writer was watching Gilmore Girls at the time of writing as every interaction in this book is women talking over each other and lots of quick back and forth while saying nothing of consequence. I liked all the other books and this one has a hugely different tone and style. While romance uses hyperbole quite a bit, this book was just overflowing and ridiculous. They’re having a light hearted conversation then Violet sighs and Hyacinth is sure the next words out of her mouth will be the most important she’s ever heard. What? Where did that come from? Can’t tell if writer was distracted or just didn’t care.
