Summary: Dancing at Midnight waltzes charmingly into your heart
Review: Lady Arabella Blydon couldn't settle for anything less than love after she witnesses the unfettering conjugal bliss overwhelming her cousin Emma. Bored by the proposals from the superficial suitors from the ton, Belle is naturally piqued by the enigmatic Lord Blackwood. The darkly brooding John is insistent in keeping a distance from her - his scarred past and his maimed leg makes him less than worthy a companion much less an amorous suitor. Even as their love blossoms, their fragile relationship is threatened by a killer pursuit from John's past....Dancing at Midnight is Julia Quinn's sophomore work and is now reissued strategically after her wildly popular Romancing Mister Bridgerton. Yet the sparkling wits tangible in the latter is less robust than in this reissue. While toying with this tantalizing setting of uniting a lady with a war veteran, Julia Quinn crafts the flawed hero to be cloyingly sentimental and dull. It is thus fortunate Belle has enough sass to imbue the joyous mood that transcends across Quinn's works. Though not her best up-to-date, Dancing at Midnight possesses the fairy-tale charm, gorgeous poetry and wistful endings to waltz right into readers' hearts.

Summary: Great By the Pool!
Review: Not her best, but surely another great read from Julia Quinn ! I love the characters with their usual humor and engaging dialogue. Also check out a fresh voice in romance from a male author -Shade of the Maple by Kirk martin. Very deep with great insight, perfect by the pool. Saw it highlighted as a Top Pick in Romantic Times. Keep them coming, Ms. Quinn!

Summary: A fun read!
Review: Not my favorite JQ book, but definitely a fun, witty book that held my attention. I liked that the Characters from Spledid were back (and Minx!) The plot was fun, but got a bit hokey at the end.

Summary: It's not as Splendid as my favorite Quinn
Review: Splendid is a tough book to top, and Dancing at Midnight didn't do it for me. But Ms. Quinn has never written a bad book, and this one is fun in its own right. If you're already a fan of Ms. Quinn, then snap this up and you'll like it. If you're thinking about trying her books for the first time, you'll love it. It's all in perspective and timing...! Enjoy

Summary: Definately a Keeper!
Review: The plot was a tad predictable and Spencer too shallow, but John and Belle are very endearing. This one reminds me a little of Beauty and the Beast and not just because of Bell's name and the fact that she adored her books. John tries to be ferocious, but he's merely a wounded lion searching for someone brave enough to see through his facade...and Belle just happens to be the brave soul who takes a chance on him and breaks the spell he cast upon himself.

Summary: Be careful - this isn't new
Review: There is a new and annoying trend that puts new covers on old stories to call them new releases - beware! It would be better to re-release some of the out of print versions of these books rather than just re-cover them! This is a delightful story - not to discourage anyone from reading it, enjoyed it...but just make sure you haven't read it before! :-)

Summary: A DUD
Review: This book is an absolute horror! The dialogue is filled with completely anachronistic language and it really bothered me while reading it. I actually stopped reading this book and threw it out.

Summary: Not her best
Review: This book lacks the humor that many of her other books have. I began reading the Bridgerton series first and have since then decided to read all of Julia Quinn's books. However, this is the first one to really disappoint. I just couldn't see any chemistry or like any of the characters.
