A Night Like THis

by Julia Quinn (pen name for Julie . . . . )
Hennepin County Library audiobook 8 discs
read by Rosalyn Landor
genre: historical romance

I liked this one much, much better than that other romance. It was reminiscent of Jane Eyre, with the governess and the earl falling in love. This one had elements of danger and mystery with Daniel's past (a drunken duel where he lamed a man) and Annelise's foolish mistake as a teenager (thinking George whats-his-face loved her). I would read more of this author's work. At the end of the book, as the copyright info was read, it said that the text copyright was held by Julie something something, and that made me curious about the author. When did she adopt a pen name? Why? (Personal preference or publisher's urging?) Anyhow, an enjoyable read and a wonderful vocal job by Landor.
