Summary: A delightful read!
Review: "Everything and the Moon" is the first book written by Julia Quinn I've read. It will definitely NOT be the last. I absolutely adored this book. The main characters, Victoria & Robert, are intelligent and lively. Their conversations are sure to make you smile if not laugh out loud! Robert is one of the most likable "heroes" that I've come across in historical & romance. I found Victoria's concerns very easy to identify with and liked her immensely. This is one of the best I've read in a long long time.

Summary: Pretty Good
Review: Although I got kind of annoyed with how Victoria kept on refusing Robert (even though she found out he was innocent of just trying to get into her pants and then abandoning her) all in all "Everything and the Moon" was a good book. I liked Victoria, except for her stubbornness, however Robert was the book's saving grace. He was sweet, intelligent, and most of all kind. He is a nice change from some of the cruel heroes that are so prevalent in books today. The plot was was well done and generally fast moving. "Everything and the Moon" was a good book that I would recomend to anybody as a plesant (if a tiny bit dull) read.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: Don't start this book unless you have a lot of time to spare because once you start, you won't be able to put it down. As with How to Marry a Marquis, To Catch an Heiress and The Duke and I, this was a wonderful book. I love the way Julia Quinn works humor into her love stories. I loved Robert. Victoria did play a little too hard to get, but it was a great read anyway. I just ordered Brighter Than the Sun from Amazon and can't wait to get my hands on that one either. And her new book will be out in October. I'm sure it will be just as enjoyable as the rest!

Summary: Love at first sight - if you believe this one is for you!
Review: Every once in awhile one needs to read a lighter more loving less dramatic kind of book. At least I do. That is the type of book this is. Robert and Victoria fall in love instantly at 17 and 24 - planning to marry their fathers keep them apart. Both think the other is at fault. When they accidently meet 7 years later Robert is still bitter and wants revenge and Victoria has decided to safe guard her heart forever. Robert soon realizes that it was not Torrie but his father and hers that kept them from eloping 7 years ago and he wants to win her back. Torrie who has decided to never allow herself to feel love again resists. And this is the only part I had difficutly with - she just seemed to resist too much. Robert was a very good and decent man - not like so many of the rouges we read about. He was kind, sweet, honorable and truly LOVED his Victoria. Finally she sees the light. This is not heavy reading but a love story about believing that you can fall in love at first sight and make it last forever.

Summary: Melt-ilicious, A MUST-READ!
Review: I finished reading this book in one sitting. I loved this book so much I wanted to read it again straight away!! I wanted to give this 100 stars!This is a story that was light (but not shallow) in plot but heavy in love, which is wonderfully refreshing since most of the other romances I have read have many deep plots and misunderstandings that can sometimes be a little too much for us "gentle readers". I will not summarize this story since it has been done by other reviewers. Robert Kemble's character (who has become one of my all-time favorite heroes) shone so brightly you could not help but fall smack bang in love with him. He is an original Hero, a man who was not so egoistic that he could not accept his mistakes. Instead, he put his whole life into making amends and never EVER hesitated in declaring his love for our Heroine, Victoria Lyndon, in both action and words. Over and over again in the story his love, adoration and loyalty was displayed. Just to melt the reader more, Robert has to rescue Victoria many many times in this novel and even when his own life was at risk, is only concerned for Victoria. His love/knowledge of science is not only endearing but caused me so much laughter, and who could resist a hero who is capable of being teary eyed? ~sigh~ Victoria Lyndon is a woman who brought the excitement, dispair/tears and frustration to the story. Her antics as she attempted to run away from the man she loved made me feel slightly annoyed (in an interested way) yet laugh at the same time, hold my breath from a kind of nervousness and anticipation, then read as fast as I could to find out what would happen to her. The traumas, trials and confusion she endured made me cry. The strength in her character both satisfied and frustrated me. To achieve these emotions in a reader only proves that Quinn is indeed one of the top writers. Everything is described and rendered in such a way that you felt you were standing in the same room as the characters or sitting in ther mind, listening to their thoughts. The side characters were beautifully placed and written about enough for the reader to feel that they knew these characters and were used to not just fill out the storyline, but to lift and support the hero and heroine along to the end. For those of you who loves a romance that is dripping with love from front cover to backpage (unlike most novels that uses more ditches than rises to capture the reader) and a story that makes you go "awwwww" every other minute, "Everything and the Moon" is a must-read!!

Summary: A real disappointment...
Review: I hate to be the fly in the ointment but I cannot agree with the 5 star ratings the previous reviewers gave Everything and the Moon. I recently read Quinn's How to Marry a Marquis and I was enchanted! The book was light but very very very funny with cute believable characters. This one however, started out very well but became a strain about midway. I didn't care for the new independent, unmovable Victoria. Even though Robert had the patience of a saint, near the end I thought he should have just dumped her. She was too much work. I mean- there's angry and defiant and then there's obtuse! Anyway, I'll still try more Julia Quinn because I liked the Marquis one so much. If you like humorous regency novels, try Merely Married by Patricia Coughlin and Escapade by Kasey Michaels.

Summary: A Must-Read!!!
Review: I have always loved Julia Quinn's books but this is one of my favorites. If you love to read light and funny romances, this is the one for you! I caught myself laughing out loud while reading this book and I still go back to my favorite parts and reread them. This book is not to be missed!

Summary: Quinn can do so much better!
Review: I have loved so many of Julia Quinn's novels (the Bridgerton series is fantastic!) that it hurt my heart to dislike this book. But I really did. Any other author would have gotten 1 star for this boring, anger-filled book, but Quinn has given me so much reading pleasure in the past that I had to show some mercy here. What bothered me the most is that while Quinn has proven herself more than capable of fleshing out characters and creating complex and compelling dialogue, she does neither her. The hero and heroine are both shown at only a shallow depth, and what is revealed makes them both seem childish and mean beyond what their past would call for. Their conversations could have been written by any decent student in a high school English class, with little of Quinn's typically clever turn of phrase. If Quinn's name had not been on the cover, I never would have believed she was the author. I will continue to read her work as often as I can, because I have adored so much of her writing, but I will try to forget that she penned this one.
