And this mixed in with her diary entries (my personal favourite - `brought tragedy to the table (book, not event)') makes reading about her a complete delight. Miranda is a lovely heroine - sly, funny and loyal - who deserves someone so much better than Turner, but she's adamant he can be that person. Her stories are a gorgeous blend of wit, sophistication and utter sweetness, and this story is no different. No one does Regency/Historical Romance quite like Julia Quinn.
Then, in a fit of temper, she tells him that she loves him, and it seems things will never be the same between them again. But Miranda has wanted him for years, and she doesn't give up easily. Until enjoyment turns to desire, and Turner realises he's in trouble. It's a chore Turner would rather do without, but as Olivia takes the ton by storm, he sticks around, enjoying the easy company and wicked wit of her little friend. Not just Olivia, but her best friend Miranda, the only one who can moderate Olivia's outrageous behaviour. Unfortunately for his plans, his only sister Olivia is making her come-out and his mother insists he do his duty and help bring her out. Now a widower, he's happy to celebrate his freedom in any way he can. An unwise infatuation and a painful marriage have turned Turner into a cynical, bitter man. But the Turner who soothed the wounded pride of a child and sweetly complimented her no longer exists. Steadfast Miranda Cheever has been in love with the same person for half her life, and it's become a hard habit to break.
