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. 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.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Trust Quinn to deliver the most entertaining romance so far this year and to set a high bar that other authors will have a tough time hurdling. Madcap, touching, laugh-out-loud funny and thoroughly satisfying on all emotional levels, her latest London-set historical focuses on Hyacinth, the eighth sibling in Quinn's bestselling Bridgerton family series (following When He Was Wicked). Too intelligent for her own good and best friends with Lady Danbury, one of society's most outspoken grande dames, Hyacinth is in her fourth season on London's Marriage Mart and again unimpressed by the male selection. Only Lady Danbury's handsome, pockets-to-let grandson Gareth St. Clair can hold his own in a conversation with her and sometimes even leaves her in a speechless, stomach-flipping state. When Hyacinth offers to translate the diary of Gareth's deceased Italian grandmother, the pair find themselves comparing notes, then exchanging kisses and finally burglarizing his estranged father's house at midnight. But the diary also holds secrets that could jeopardize their new love. Practically bouncing with humor, this book will keep readers happily on edge, waiting to see how the final unmarried Bridgerton will fare in Quinn's talented hands.
Customer Reviews
Pretty good
Ive enjoyed reading about the different characters and how they “find” each other to also discover true love.
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.
This one wasn’t as good as the others
Something about this one, although good, had a strange romance to it. It felt weird to me, some of the quotes and such were weird. However, the ending was nice. :)
