Summary: Disappointing!
Review: Other Julie Quinn books are entertaining, but Everything and the Moon was boring, redundant, and full of cliches. Usually she comes up with a somewhat original story line, but this one has been written over and over again. Don't waste your money.

Summary: Seven years is a long time!
Review: Seven years ago Victoria Lyndon, daughter of a vicar, and Robert Kemble, future Earl of Macclesfield, fell madly and deeply in love. To the point that they planned to run away and elope, no matter what their fathers say or think! However when Victoria's father catches her sneeking out of the house, he makes sure she isn't going anywhere; and Robert assumes that Victoria was nothing but a fortune hunter who just wanted his title and money! Whereas Victoria is positive that Robert was just using her as a summer fling to keep himself from getting bored.Seven years later, Robert is the hansome, extremly wealthy , and powerful nobleman; and Victoria is now a governess to a spoiled rotten 5 year old. Both Robert and Victoria are furious with the other because they are still under the impression that one was using the other and never even loved them. What either of them can't figure out is why they just can't seem to NOT want to be with the other, and why their hearts always start to pound when the other comes into sight, after they meet again after 7 years!! Julia Quinn is by far one of my favorite authors now. In every book that I've read of her's, she has done a perfect job with everything that makes a book great! Just after the first chapter I felt all giddy inside just like the characters! The characters were completely thought out and you could see how each of them were changing and growing as a person, and you could see the love grow again in each of them. I loved this book. I found myself actually laughing out loud throughout most of the book. The only thing it didn't make me do wascry. I've noticed in some of her other books, Mrs. Quinn has the most amazing ability to make he laugh and then 5 chapters later cry. I'm not saying that because I didn't cry it only deserves 4 stars, but it was just a suprise. I give this book 5 stars because it earned every single one of them and more!!

Summary: A truely wonderful book. YOU HAVE TO READ IT!
Review: This book was absolutely wonderful. I started reading it at work during my luch hour and after four chapters I knew that I was in trouble. It was so good and so gripping that I knew I was going to have trouble putting it down. And you know what, I did. I came right home from work and sat down and finished the book. This book just captivitated me from beginning to end. In our own way, each of us is like Victoria. We all are a little scared after a bad experience at love. Especially if the person who hurt you is the same person who you love. But it is nice to believe that people can work things out and grow to love each other once again. You have just got to read this book. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Everything, but the Moon
Review: This book, while lovely, is not very mind compelling. It is one of those book that you read swiftly without much thought process. Robert, the hero, seems perfect without a fault, while Sara, though lovely and amusing, is not very intelligent. The story in itself does not have much of a plot and seems to be going around in circles. For those who want a romance that will keep you on your toes, unfortunely this is not the book for you. For those, however, who want a romance to relax and read, this is quite good.

Summary: Wonderfully fun and romantic
Review: This is my favorite Julia Quinn novel so far (and I've read all the ones since Splendid, thanks to the reprint.) Love at first sight, romantic youthful courting, separation by misunderstandings and dastardly interfering fathers, tense reunion after years of yearning for each other, this book has got it all. Julia Quinn has a wonderful sense of humor, and a talent for conveying romantic emotion. If you like fun, romance and a bit of history, give this book a try.

Summary: Best romance of star crossed lovers since Romeo and Juliet!
Review: This is the best romance novel i have read since I read Romeo and Juliet. Victoria and Robert are the ideal couple. If I could have any romance I would want it to be like theirs. It was so romantic how they first got together and how he showed up at her window at night and they took a walk around. I have never been in to romance novels but after reading this one I cant put tem down. Expecially not the books by Julia Quinn. She is a wonderful author, and she has a wonderful talent.
thank you Julia for sharing your talent with the world of romance novels.

Summary: Fun and Touching But Characters Thin, Some Plot Implausible
Review: Victoria Lyndon, the seventeen-year-old daughter of the local vicar, is stunned to meet Robert Kemble, the young Earl of Macclesfield, and is even more stunned when he starts courting her. But when their fathers prevent them from eloping-and each thinks the other has betrayed him/her, they are both plunged into seven years of a bitter broken heart. Victoria runs away from home and goes to work for the amazingly cruel and insulting Lady Hollingwood, as a governess to her impossibly bratty son Neville. It's been seven years since she's seen Robert, but she's been unable to forget him. When he shows up at a weekend house part Lady Hollingwood throws, Victoria is speechless. Robert is furious: here she is in front of him-the woman who wanted him only for his money and title and whom he still burns for. He's spent seven years in other women's arms trying unsuccessfully to extricate Victoria from his heart. Now he vows to seduce and abandon her to get his revenge. But as Robert forces his attentions onto a hesitant yet attracted Victoria, he soon realizes that he can never let her go. He won't marry her but he'll bind her to him forever. When he asks her to be his mistress instead of his wife, Victoria's heart is broken a second time, and all she can think of is escaping from the man she will never be able to banish from her heart. This novel has a touching beginning-the courtship between Victoria and Robert is beautiful and refreshing. However, the subsequent rift between them is frankly implausible: there is no way the reader can believe that Robert would assume the worst when Victoria fails to show up for their elopement, even after he spies her asleep in her bed. He has no way to know her reasons, and to abandon her without finding them out reflects very badly on him. Even when the reader gets over this, Victoria then seems incredible when she is for awhile irritatingly prudish and churlish. Yet despite this and despite the failure to fully develop Victoria and Robert's characters, Everything and the Moon is often fun and touching. It is especially delightful when Robert kidnaps Victoria and takes her to a deserted cottage on the coast where they must somehow work out their differences. The dialogue and overall sensibility is not as humorous as Quinn's earlier trilogy, but this is still overall an entertaining novel.

Summary: I Fell In Love With This Book & Its Characters!!!
Review: What a wonderful book! Here is another novel that will be staying on my shelf just because I loved it so much! This was my first Julia Quinn story and I picked it in a rush rather randomly at the book store, and I was NOT disapointed! Julia Quinn has an amazing talent, her characters were so real, as were their andventures and their love for one another. Not to mention that the story was full of humor. Laughter and tears were inevitable. This book almost entirely revolved around their love and heartache. If you're looking for a romance novel that is heavily into the romance (some seem to have all plot and little to no romance) this is a must read! I do agree with another reviewer that Victoria did perhaps play hard to get too hard, but her heart had been broken for 7 long years, and, frankly, it makes things more interesting when the characters don't behave as we would like them to!! That's what makes the words on the pages become more than just "words" and somehow weaves itself into a wonderful adventure that keeps you turning the pages to find out what the characters will do next. And awesome book!! I'm certain I will be rushing to the book store with an aim this time!

Summary: Fun!
Review: With "Everything and the Moon" Julia Quinn has created another distinctive blend of imaginative narrative and expressive characters. Her specialty has always been dialogue- and this tale of star-crossed lovers does not disappoint- her characters spar wittily and often made me laugh out loud. Victoria Lydon is a likable heroine, who, disappointed after a youthful but passionate love affair, grows to be a strong and independent woman. When after seven years, her path again crosses that of her childhood love, Robert, Earl of Macclesfield, she resolves not to fall under his spell again. But love will not be denied- and no matter how much Robert and Victoria try to suppress it, they are drawn together. Theirs is a dance of heartbreak and deception, romance and seduction- you will laugh, you will sniffle, and you will thoroughly enjoy "Everything and the Moon.
