Best if read after Splendid and Dancing at Midnight, Dunford's story..excellent

This is my first Julia Quinn novel, and I was very pleasantly surprised. Having heard her described as a "modern-day Jane Austen," I admit my expectations were high. Although I wouldn't go that far, I will say her humor and writing style are refreshing, and this is not your typical Romance Novel, in the best sense (although the cliched cover would suggest otherwise). The main female character is strong and believable, and the male is a little underdeveloped to the reader's perspective (had he been better explored, I might be willing to agree with the Austen comparisons) but the emotions Quinn conjures are real and heartfelt. Not sappy or maudlin, there are a few teary moments, and defintely out-loud laughs. The ending drags a bit while the couple experiences some farce-like misunderstandings that threaten to undo them, but all in all a very good read, one I will keep and re-read again and again.

This is the third in the Emma/Belle series. Splendid is first, then Dancing at Midnight. Dancing was even better than this one hero-wise, but Minx definitely is the most fun.

Minx is my all time favorite book by Julia Quinn, and that is saying a lot because she has written a lot of bestselling books. Its on my keeper shelf and I re-read it often.

Henry is a perfect romantic heroine; she is unaware of her beauty, but with good reason, she is spirited, and has great dialogue.

Dunford is the best romantic hero. He has appeared in several other Quinn books (at least two that I know of) and you can't wait for him to meet the woman who finally brings him to his knees.

They are a perfect match and some of the scenes are so sweet (when he buys her the yellow dress, when he sees her in her first ballgown, etc.) that you just say "awwwww" out loud.

I thought this was a wonderful book! I loved "Henry". She was written as both strong and yet with a gentle heart. It took a while for Dunford to realize his heart but when he did he wasn't hesitant to tell her his feelings.

there is an awful mix-up towards the end and makes you want to smack an interferring society woman but it works out wonderfully in the end.

This book had a lot of tongue in cheek humor and had me laughing quite a bit! I have enjoyed Julia Quinn for years and I think this has to be one of her "funnier" books. It had me laughing outloud and my family saying "What's so funny?". It was a good read and an enjoyable story line. Always good to see the hero getting his just desserts from his match. I would read it again just for the fun of it!

This is a sweet historical romance set in England in 1816. The plot is: unsophisticated tomboy tames worldly rake. There was a bit of a Big Misunderstanding device thrown in near the end, just for dramatic tension, but it was soon resolved. Enjoyable read!

My FAVORITE Julia Quinn! The heroine, Henry, is totally unique. I have read almost all of Julia Quinn's books and this is the only one that I had such an emotional connection with that it made me cry, even though I knew everything would be okay in the end.

Great story, its a quick paced read that i enjoyed.

I love this author!!

Different cover. Fun romance in Regency England with an endearing heroine who has an independent streak. The hero is a minor character in two other Julia Quinn novels.

The characters however were well written, and the story line was amusing. A goog read

Mother in law loved this book

Entertaining.
