About this ebook

Once again, #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn transports her readers to historical romance heaven! Quinn’s Just Like Heaven is the dazzling first installment of a delightful quartet of Regency Era-set tales featuring the romantic exploits of the well-meaning but less-than-accomplished Smythe-Smith musicians—in this case, a beautiful violinist in the pitiful group who has her sights set on marrying the last unwed Bridgerton…unless her handsome, love-struck guardian has anything to say about it. Bridgerton fans will cry, “Encore!”—as will every reader who adores England’s Regency period and great love stories that are smart, witty, and lighthearted.

Ratings and reviews

Smythe-Smith series! It wasn't as predicable as I thought it would be, I enjoyed the discovery of the characters love for one another and the connection of characters that are also in the other books. Good insight into the family and their role in the Bridgerton series, which made it all the better in my opinion.

Bit of fun, if you enjoy Bridgerton, you'll enjoy this, it's as endearing for character development but less sizzley moments than the Bridgerton novels.

I left this series for last because the Smythe-Smith sisters (musicales) had such a bad/annoying reputation in the other books. Boy was I wrong! I'm on the second book of this series now. I tore through the first book (Just Like Heaven) in less than a day. It was hilarious, interesting, charming and everything else you'd pleasantly expect from Julia Quinn. A must read!
