Nora Roberts calls Julia Quinn’s novels, “Delightful.” The #1 New York Times bestselling creator of the irresistible Bridgerton family, Quinn offers historical romance readers new delights with A Night Like This—the second book (following the phenomenal Just Like Heaven) to feature the affairs, romantic and melodic, of the endearing, if painfully untalented, Smythe-Smith musicians. On A Night Like This in Regency England, anything can happen, especially when a beautiful pianist sitting in at the annual Smythe-Smith musicale catches the eye of a haunted, hunted man in desperate need of redemption. There is simply no author in the realm of historical romance fiction hotter than the remarkable Julia Quinn—and anyone who has ever been swept away by the love stories of Amanda Quick, Lisa Kleypas, or Jill Barnett will cherish A Night Like This.

"Daniel Smythe-Smith had no intention to actually shoot his friend Hugh in a duel, but by accident he did and has spent years on the run as a result. Anne Wynter is in hiding--working as a governess--from a revenge-minded aristocrat she has accidentally stabbed. When Daniel finally makes it back to London, these two star-crossed young people meet at the annual Smythe-Smith musicale and of course fall in love. But can they manage to leave their scandalous pasts behind or are those seeking revenge still out there? And what about the emotional scars each one still carries? Can they heal each other? In this second title of the Smythe-Smith Quartet Julia Quinn has penned another highly entertaining tale and fans--particularly those who have enjoyed the Bridgertons and the first of the Smythe-Smith tales--will not be disappointed."

— Carolyn, 9/7/2012" Have I really been pronouncing Smythe-Smith wrong all these years? "
— Annabel, 8/30/2012" Once again Julia Quinn works her magic on a Regency romance. Of course true love will win, but how? With two people separately being pursued by heinous madmen, can they even survive? I love Quinn because she's funny, and sure enough, I laughed out loud several times. "
