Summary: The latest divine work by tomorrow's superstar
Review: In 1817 England, the Earl of Billington, Charles Wycombe, needs to be married within fifteen days or watch his cousin Philip inherit all the money that goes with the estate. However, every female he has met in the marriage mart has been an air head and he would rather spend his life in abject poverty than with an insipid companion. Feisty Eleanor Lynden struggles with the intolerable rules being established by her father, the vicar, ever since he became engaged to the morally correct Mrs. Foxglove. Eleanor realizes that she must find an escape very quickly before they crush her elan. When Charles falls from a tree and meets Eleanor, he realizes that the intelligent young lady is the answer to his problems and quickly proposes to her. She reluctantly agrees that the notorious rake might prove to be the only viable solution to her current situation. They get married and surprisingly fall in love with each other. However, some unknown assailant is unhappy with the nuptials and plans to put an end to them as soon as possible by any means necessary. BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN is a typical Regency romance that fans of the sub-genre will enjoy. However, what makes this novel live up to its title is the growing relationship between the charming two lead protagonists. Their witty interplay is extremely jocular as both adapt to love, turning Julia Quinn's book into a wonderful historical romance worth reading. Harriet Klausner

Summary: In 2 weeks time.....
Review: In about two weeks time, Charles Wycombe, Earl of Billington, must find a bride and be married to her. Not an easy job when one is NOT in London. Even if he were, he can't stand the young simpering, just out of the schoolroom chits! Miss Eleanor Lyndon needs to find a new home as fast as possible. Her father, the town vicar, has deceided to remarry. However the woman he has picked, Mrs. Foxglove a widow, can not stand Ellie. Actually they both feel the same about each other. INTRUDER!!! One day Charles literally falls at Ellie's feel, he sees the perfect answer to both of their pressing problems. They should just get married. After all, Ellie is the first marriagble girl he has come across and can actually stand being in the same room with her alone for more than ten minutes. Not to mention that she really isn't asking for that much when they marry. That is until she informs Charles that they won't consumate the marriage until she's ready to do so. But surly that won't take very long will it? No woman has ever been able to resist his charms. However, he's never wanted any woman like he wants her. And the worst part is, is that he can't figure out why or how he can want someone the way he wants her. Mrs. Quinn has done a great job with this book! It is loaded with excitment from cover to cover. Whether it's abduction you like or suprise kitchen fires, you'll find it all in this book! I'm not quite sure I have ever read a book with more excitment in it than this one has! And what was really great was that the events were spread out throughout the entire book. Which then in turn made the book a total page turner! Also what was nice, was that even though this book was in connection to EVERYTHING AND THE MOON, you don't have to read that book to understand this one. Mrs. Quinn does refer to the other book but also explains it to an extent not to bore the reader who already read the other one. I give this book 5 stars because it really was THAT good! And I will recommend this series to many people!!!

Summary: A Joy to Read - 4.5 stars
Review: Julia Quinn proves that fluff in the hands of a competent writer can be yummier than cotton candy - which happens to be one of my favorite treats.
Perfectly wonderful hero and heroine.
It may not be a brilliant plot line, but better to remain simple and focus on the characters than create a convoluted tangle of events that detract from what is really important anyway - the romance.

Summary: A fun read that will keep you laughing.
Review: Poor Eleanor. She marries a man she hardly knows to escape a stepmother she's bound to hate. Then she falls madly in love with him but circumstance after ridiculous, madcap circumstance keep them from consumating the marriage. This is a fun read!

Summary: Well, It's Not Offensive
Review: That's about all I can say about this book. It had a few moments, but nothing to keep me interested through a whole book. I've read one of her other books and loved it. It's a good thing this wasn't the first of Ms. Quinn's books I've read because if it were, I never would have bought another.

Summary: My First Julia Quinn Book
Review: The main characters Ellie and Charles were witty dialogue and fun characters. They had me smiling quite often. It was good to read a book where both characters were equal in strength of personality. I hope more of her books are as good. The added quick mysteries just added that little extra. A Book to add to your list to read!

Summary: if your idea of romance is constant fighting......
Review: then this is the book for you. I usually love Ms. Quinn's books. This one was well written and witty. The only problem is that through the many incredibly stupid "mishaps" that move the plot along, all the two main characters do is argue, bicker, argue and fight. I read to escape this sort of childish bickering. Also, these characters behaved completely wrong for the genre. The book had some very bright moments, but overall, it gave me a sunburn.

Summary: Warm, witty and wonderful!
Review: This book grabbed me from the first page with its sharp, amusing dialogue and warm characters - and I couldn't put it down until the end! Ellie and Charles constantly kept me smiling, and do on every subsequent reading. A great book by my favourite author - Julia Quinn's books never disappoint, and all are "keepers" on my shelves. Brighter than the Sun is an absorbing, charming romance without the dark, tortured plotlines some historical novels find necessary. A pleasure to read from start to finish!
