Oh. OH. A book that can make me giggle out loud is always good. And that's precisely what A Night Like This did, on multiple occasions. The interactions between Anne, Daniel, and his cousins were so much good fun. Sometimes you need a little lightheartedness in your stories.
Especially when both characters have their own secrets and problems.
As the second book in a series, the couple from the first book made an appearance in A Night Like This. In fact, there were overlapping scenes and that just made it all the more entertaining. If you haven't read Just Like Heaven, though, no worries. A Night Like This is able to be read on its own. But you get more depth to the story with your knowledge of what happens in book 1.
And I liked the way it all rolled and fit together.
Anne's past (and Daniel's) made for an intriguing match between the two. But it was sweet and forbidden and rather darling. Which is not a word I use normally, but somehow it seems to fit, so I'm going to stick with it. This is the fourth (I think) book of Julia Quinn's I've read, and while it's not a heavy hitter like Sarah MacLean or Tessa Dare, Julia Quinn's books are the perfect kind of escape read when you need something light and fun.
