I have decided to like Quinn. For the time being. As of now, I prefer her older books compared to the more recent ones but I shall have to investigate further. 
 Currently I love this book. Here Quinn has proved herself to be a great writer for romance books,a strong rival to my all-time favourite novelist Lisa Kleypas. If, like me, your first taste for Quinn's novels were from the Bridgerton series (not to mention the tiniest factor that you had the same unnecessarily high standards for literary perfection, rather universally-acknowledged awkward tastes and preferances, dislike for lustful scenes etc etc...), you might have ended with Quinn there and then. Thank god I didn't. All I'm saying is, this book shouldn't be a miss. 
 I can't say that this book is clean, realistic or wasn't predictable. But these tiny problems I had with the book shouldn't eclipse the flawless development of the romance between James and Elizabeth and the plot, realistic or not. The bickering between those two people is adorable and full of sarcasm, and although both are not without their flaws, they are endearing and definitely likeable. So are the side characters, for that matter. No spoiler here, but I have to say that I absolutely love Lady Danbury, Sarah and Lucas! My reasons lie within the book itself, curious readers. 
 What I would give a point to Quinn's side over Kleypas's (I shouldn't be comparing the two. But I can't help it) is that unlike Kleypas, Quinn does not intentionally squeeze in a forced climax at the end her books that sometimes not only distorts the flow of the plot, but also skews the focus of the book and storyline, to a certain extent (thank god Kleypas makes up for it in the other pages by writing so well). For Quinn, the romance is the climax, the pinnacle of the story. Adding on the fact that she delivers it so well with words.... well, you can expect a good read. 
 Then again, who am I to judge after finally reading only one good book by Quinn? However, I have to say, this book has absolutely put Quinn's storytelling abilities in a better light for me.
