Summary: This is Quinn's Best Work!
Review: I have read all of Julia Quinn's books. This book is my all time favorite. I have read it a couple of times in the last couple of years. The characters are very lovable, the dialogue is witty, and the plot is quite funny. The book serves as a reminder that first love is always something to treasure and remember. In this case, the scenario is first love for both characters then an elopement goes awry and a big misunderstanding ensues. Seven years later, the two meet again, and love rekindles. The hero tries to make apologies for the misunderstanding via a courtship with sweets and pastries. The characters are both vulnerable to each other during the courtship. He is afraid she will never forgive him and she is afraid he will hurt her again. I have enjoyed all of Quinn's works with the exception of "To Marry An Heiress." If you enjoyed "Dancing At Midnight" and "Splendid" then you will love this book!

Summary: A KEEPER!
Review: I heartily enjoyed the characters and the chase through out the book. Some of the previous reviewers thought that Robert put too much effort in catching Victoria. I disagree--I thought she was well the effort. It is refreshing to see the hero for once give chase throughout the book. I cannot even begin to count the number of books with the heroine giving chase and wearing her heart on her sleeve. The track shoe is now on the other foot. Quinn depicted Robert as a hero very much in love and with much vulnerability as he tries to win the love of Victoria. Of course this comes on the heels of his discovering how he misjudged her a few years back. I truly think most of the heroes these day just have it too darn easy with winning the affections of the heroine. Robert is the exception in this case and I liked his efforts throughout the book in making his apologies.

Summary: not bad, but not amazing either
Review: I just finshed reading all of Julia Quinn's novels, this one being the last one I read. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that great either. Don't get me wrong, I think there's no bad Julia Quinn book, it's just that some are so great that others pale by comparison. This is one of them.All the character's were likable and it was endearing to see characters from other novels mentioned (like the Duke of Ashbourne and Emma from "Splendid"). There were also a few moments that had me cracking up, like the dress shop incident. Still, I found Victoria to be irritating at times and I thought that the love-hate banter between Victoria and Robert was dragged out. I'm giving this novel 3 stars because there are other Julia Quinn books that are so much better. However, if you're a Julia Quinn addict you should read it, just so you can appreciate her recent work even more.

Summary: This book lacked sizzle.
Review: I liked the plot and found the characters endearing, if a bit two dimensional. However, there was no sizzle! The characters are intimate twice in the book and both times are DULL. They have pined for each other for 7 years, have 7 years of passion-filled longing for one another, and yet the first time they make love it's over so fast and is so boring that you're not even sure anything happened. The descriptions of the amorous scenes leave alot to be desired. The characters are so full of passion for one another that you just want them to go nuts for each other. Unfortunately, J.Q. fell terribly short on that aspect. It was entertaining and fluffy. If you like the romance novels with little to no sex, this is your book. (...)

Summary: Not one of her best
Review: I love JQ's books, but this one isn't up to par. The characters just didn't ring true, and worse there was NO tension in the book. If they called each other darling or sweetheart one more time..... And it didn't help that the whole plot was a big cliche and shouldn't have taken 300+ pages to solve. Over all, it's not the worst thing I've ever read, but it's not a good example of Quinn's abilities. If you've never read her before, read one of her later books first.

Summary: A great, great read
Review: I love Julia Quinn's books, but this is my favorite of all of them. Victoria and Robert, separated seven years ago by treachery and misunderstanding, meet again in much altered circumstances. Robert, the guiltier of the two in their past, suffers enough after he realizes his mistakes to satsify any reader. These are two very loveable characters, and watching them regain their love over the course of the book is simply magic. My only wish is that the sensuality would be have been a little hotter, but the lack doesn't detract from this funny and moving love story about two people destined for each other. Definitely a comfort read.

Summary: Marvelous, but not quite up to Ms. Quinn's standards..
Review: I love Julia Quinn's work. She's a fantastic writer, and most of her books are wonderfully funny and fun to read. "Everything and the Moon" was an undeniably sweet book -- in the beginning. It's absolutely perfect, with the love at the first sight and the romance and then... kapow, throw in a completely misunderstood situation and the madly in love characters suddenly become overly suspicious aliens. When Robert realizes the misunderstanding, that's when you get the non-alien Robert back. But unfortunately, Victoria insists on being completely stubborn and cliché up till the end of the book. It's a lovely story, but completely frustrating. You want to knock some sense into these characters that've NO idea what they're doing. Beautifully written, though, and a very touching story. You can't possibly not enjoy Ms. Quinn's books. I definitely suggest reading this one.

Summary: No Sense!!
Review: I love the sequel to this book, but this book I found slightly insulting. Don't get me wrong, Julia Quinn is definitely the author I look for in romance novels, but this book didn't have enough plot. I am insulted by Robert's distrust of Victoria in the beginning, not even asking why she was in bed that fateful night 7 years ago, but lays it down on her being an evil, mean, fortune hunter. It takes Ellie (one of my favorite characters along with Elizabeth in How to Marry a Marquis) to pop his view of Victoria and tell him what really happened. And then he acts all surprised as if, "Gee, I guess I was wrong all of this time and made my life and her life miserable for the past seven years, oops!" I am glad I read Brighter Than the Sun first or I would have lost interest in Ms. Quinn.

Summary: I didn't have a choice.. I had to finish it in one sitting!
Review: I started reading this book this morning on my way to work (I am a LIRR commuter) and I could not put the book down. Thankfully since I was able to finish my work in record time I was able to finish Everything and the Moon before lunch! I couldn't stop, I tried to slow down my reading (I tend to read really fast, only leaving myself to re-read the book after I've finished to learn of the things I might of missed) I even tried closing the book and waiting until my trip home, but I just couldn't. I loved Robert and I loved Torie (not to mention that I happen to love that nickname for a woman) and I especially loved the mention of the Duke of Ashbourne, which only served to remind me of Splendid (another one of Ms. Quinn's treasures)! This book, along with all of her other books, are delightful! Filled with love and laughter, wit and charm. If you do not read anything for the rest of this century, read her books. SPLENDID, DANCING AT MIDNIGHT and MINX, then EVERYTHING AND THE MOON and BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN, and finally TO CATCH AN HEIRESS and HOW TO MARRY A MARQUIS! You won't be sorry!
