Splendid by Julia Quinn5/9/2023 Although all of them have plans for her to get married, she has plans for that shipping company back in the States. What is the plot of this story? Emma Dunster is the only child (a daughter! alas!) of a wealthy American shipping magnate, and she’s visiting her mother’s family in London. There is, in fact, very little about it that is not ridiculous, and this, frankly, is the reason I own every single Julia Quinn novel published. Once upon a time I read that Julia Quinn wrote her first book, Splendid, to be a romp. Overall: If I were to write a first romance novel, I would hope it approaches this level of entertainment Plot: misunderstandings, compromises, kidnappings, OH MY! Heat Factor: Hotter than most of JQ’s later books, but still just maybe Bunsen burner levelĬharacter Chemistry: High drama but the overkill is fun
