A Night Like This

By: Julia Quinn

Narrated by: Rosalyn Landor

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.

Laugh Out Loud (yes, LOL) characters

If you like absurd, light-hearted humor with your romance, you can't do better than Julia Quinn, especially her Smythe-Smith Quartet series (though most of her books are set in this world of characters). The Smythe-Smith unmarried daughters (cousins and sisters) are following the long held family tradition of forming a quartet for their renowned annual musicale. Renowned, that is, for how awful the music is - always. Yet most of the Smythe-Smith performers, past and present, are clueless to their incompetence.

This year, one of the current crop is competent and cannot stomach taking part in the musicale one more time. She conveniently falls ill on the day of the performance. Our heroine, Anne, currently hiding out as a governess, is forced to save the musicale... well, as much as anyone could save it.

She is spotted by Daniel who has only just returned after years of living in exile on the Continent. Anne has no interest in a relationship that would certainly result in exposing her secrets.

With moments of hilarity, fear, regrets, and passion, love does find a way to prevail.

Well done

Ms. Quinn gets your attention and keeps it with believable actors and snappy dialogue.
Narration is very satisfactory.

Another brilliant combination of author and narrator

I love this combination of author and narrator. They’ve both done an amazing job. I adore this story. Enough twinges of sadness to make it realistic without being depressing, and some thrilling moments with a clear HAE on the way… though the way they got there is unique as always I loved the characters. Loved the story.

Excellent listen

This book has everything...love, romance, drama, humor, a little suspense and lovely characters. All this perfection was created by Julia Quinn and presented by Roz Landor.....a perfect pair.
The nine hours of this audio book passed so very quickly and my attention was caught from the first chapter. Julia and Roz had my attention throughout the book. And as in all great romances, there was a very happy ending.
The Smythe-Smith family is amazing and so funny!!!

One of my favorites of Julia Quinn stories.

I love this story so much I have listened to many times it's amazing and beautiful.
