She’s trying to follow the rules…When Elizabeth Hotchkiss stumbles upon a copy of How to Marry a Marquis in her employer’s library, she’s convinced someone is playing a cruel joke.

Was totally prepared to give this an unexciting 'meh' 3 stars but the silly melodramatic drama and dunderhead of a heroine made it hard to even do that. Elizabeth Hotchkiss is the biggest drama queen imaginable who loved to blow the smallest things waaaaay out of proportion. This girl should have taken a job in theater cause everything is either mortifying, humiliating or absolutely horrifying to her. She's also a total ditzy klutz who can't even stand still without causing bodily harm, trippingHistorical romance - 3.5 stars!Sweet and fun!"Are you paying attention or just trying to make me look like an idiot?""Oh, I'm definately paying attention. If you look like an idiot it has nothing to do with me.""He looks like a man." "How descriptive," Susan said in a droll tone. "Remind me never to advise you to seek work as a novelist."
Just when me and my friends were complaining about the plateau plots of HR's lately, I come across an unread Julia Quinn and then, BAM, I take it back. I take it all back! There is hope as long as we have such books in our lives.I enjoyed the first half of the Bridgertons series, I loved loved loved all the characters and how their stories were brilliantly written. I did not however enjoy the last few, as well as the SS Quartet so instead of tainting my thoughts on Ms. Quinn's writing I stopped
i feel horrid to say that i found this book to be a HUGE dissapointment and far below my expectations if one could imagine :/i loved the idea of the plot,but for some reason i felt almost the 1st half the book just drag,while the second half speed by with just fighting,screaming and dissapointments...For the first time (in my long reading life ! ) I found myself unable to even LIKE ms.quinn's characters while struggling to finish the book..A sad day indeed :(
(Edited: spoiler deleted scene - copied from JQ's website - at the end of this review. Another lovely epilogue)I have no doubt that Julia Quinn is the queen of historical romance to me. This book gave me a great time (I was ill when I read this). It had quite a simple and common story with predictable plot and yet I ended up loving it. Tons of laughter guaranteed! I offered to burn the book, if you recall. I told you it was utter nonsense." He glared at her, and when that didn't cause her to
4.5 starsThis was the first book I read by this author. It was long ago the book was published in 1999 but it was a marvelous introduction. Ever since this book, I have been buying Julia Quinns regency romances as soon as they came out. I enjoyed most of them but I approached the re-reading of this novel with trepidation. What if it didnt live up to my memories? I shouldnt have worried. How to Marry a Marquis was as good at re-reading as I remembered. The story centers around two
I highlighted the scene where I officially gave up on this book:Heroine: *punches Marquis* Me: "YEAH! You go, girl!" Irrelevant Character: "James...are you bleeding?" Heroine: "Bleeding? Elizabeth hated that she cared, but she couldn't stop her gasp and she immediately turned to James. She would never forgive him for what he'd done, and she certainly never wanted to see him again, but she didn't want him to be hurt."So punching someone who physically tries to prevent you from leaving poses no
