 Laugh-Out-Loud Funny
I absolutely love this book, it was hilarious! I actually read it twice, and I'm not one to read anything more than once.
The dialogues between the characters were laugh-out-loud funny. Although I cannot say that the sex and chemistry were hot as fire, the plot and budding friendship in this novel were a can't-miss!
There were so many funny scenes in this book, it's hard to pick a favorite.
A lot of sarcasm from both parties and their good friend James, oh, and who can forget the witty butler?
Caroline Trent is actually one of my favorite heroines, and Blake, one of my favorite heros.
I was a little sad when the novel ended, missed the sarcasm and hilarious scenarios.
Definitely a must-read!
FUNNIEST romance I've read so far
This the first book I've read from Julia Quinn and I was surprised by how easy it was to read and get into, and how incredibly funny it was. Reading romances, I don't expect much humor but with this book, I was laughing out loud, which garnered looks from my husband. But the banter between the characters were so outrageously hilarious! I laughed so much, my eyes teared. But as much as it is funny, this book is also very touching and sweet. The chemistry is good, and this book had a lot of intrigue and adventure to it and I loved each and every character. They were all hilarious!! The heroine is perfectly head-strong but vulnerable and the hero is perfectly sexy and miserable. The other Amazon reviewers didn't give it much, but I really think you should give this a try. It is so easy to fall into and enjoy!
 Off the wall...Funny?...
I couldn't believe how funny this book was! Quinn has a splendid way of making the rants between the characters extremely entertaining and off the wall funny. I found myself laughing all the way through this novel and the only reason I didn't give this book a 5 Star is because Quinn dumbed Caroline down a little to much for me. I really enjoyed all the characters; and although Blake wasn't the "hero" he was my favorite. I'll have to check and see if she's told his story!
Really funny!
*** Back cover synopsis ***
When Caroline Trent is kidnapped by Blake Ravenscroft, she doesn't even try to elude this dangerously handsome agent of the crown. After all, she's been running from unwanted marriage proposals. Yes, Blake believes she's a notorious spy named Carlotta De Leon, but for six weeks until her twenty-first birthday, when she'll gain control of her fortune, hiding out in the titillating company of a mysterious captor is awfully convenient - and maybe just a little romantic, too.
Blake Ravenscroft's mission is to bring "Carlotta" to justice, not to fall in love. His heart has been hardened by years of intrigue, but this little temptress proves oddly disarming and thoroughly kissable. And suddenly the unthinkable becomes possible - that this mismatched couple might be destined for love.
*** Personal opinion ***
This book kept me laughing nonstop. It was that good! Caroline's wit was just priceless. I love the way how she annoys and frustrates the hell out of Blake. At the very beginning, I was really looking forward to seeing more of Blake because he seemed to be a very interesting character, but once his friend, James appeared, I started favoring James' character over Blake. Although, there weren't that much scenes for James, but with all the parts that he showed up, it just kept the plot's laughter going.
At some point of this book, I actually find some of the dialogues to be a bit too modern, like reading something from the 21st century, but other than that, this book is very enjoyable.
JQ rules!
I haven't found a book yet that I don't like by JQ! She is one of my favorite authors! (Susan Elizabeth Philips being another)
