Ten Things I Love About You audiobook

Hum, should I list the 10 things I liked about this book, or the 10 things I didn't like?As a compromise, I will list 5 of each.Liked:1. The Hero, Sebastian, was a rake. I'm a sucker for a rake.2. The heroine has a great sense of humor and laughs out loud. Not in a lady-like way. I love when someone snort-laughs. It makes me laugh so much harder.3. The hero writes books that are ridiculous. One of his characters is killed by a pigeon.4. The love story is cute and awwwww-worthy.5. The grandma, although she starts out pretty shaky, turns into my favorite person by the end.Didn't like:1. The Earl of Newbury, who wants to marry our heroine, is a disgusting lech and he gets away with a lot of crap.2. The grandma and grandfather start off pretty horribly. They are determined to marry off their granddaughter to the Earl of Jabba. When she has the nerve to talk to our hero at the opera, they act like she has ruined herself.3. There is a lot of rumination by both characters. Over-thinking is bad enough in real life, I don't want to read about someone else's crazy, endless thoughts.4. Our heroine was continuing her course towards marriage to the Duke of Jabba long after he practically rapes her in a hallway. Some might call it "selflessness". I called it stupidity.5. THE STUPID EARL OF JABBA DOESN'T DIE!!!!!! Still, overall, a good story.

Sebastian is SUCH a charmer, I loved him. And I loved the fact that he’s the author of all the scandalous romances these Julia Quinn characters have been reading!

Ten Things I Love About You is funny in Miss Quinn's signature writing style. I got bored with contemporary romance, so I pick up historical romance for a change. Annabel is certainly playing that perfect part of damsel in distress. I do love her. Her insecurity about herself and yet she tried to stay stronger. Making sacrifices for people she loved. The banter is fun and tender. I do love Sebastian. As clever as he is, he is sometimes very clueless. Overall, a very good book. 4 stars

What can I say? This book was absolutely adorable. Sebastian Gray is one of the most lovable heroes in Romancelandia. I suppose he could be described as a "tortured hero", but unlike others who are labeled as such, Seb prescribes to the "when life deals you lemons...make lemonade" theory and therefore is always positive and upbeat. He is honest, forthright, loyal to family and friends, and his manners are impeccable. He is also so damn handsome (and virile) he is in constant demand by the young matrons of the ton. His relationship with Annabelle begins when they meet quite by accident in a moonlit garden. Seb is amused by Annabelle's candidness and happily gives her a kiss when she requests one. Annabelle, resigned to the sad fact that she must heed to familial duty and marry a lecherous old man for his title & money, figures she has nothing to lose when she hits Seb up for a kiss. And WOW! what a kiss to remember as they both take their leave...never expecting to see one another again. Of course the plot thickens and the H/h are thrown together for the rest of the book to enjoy several madcap escapades. But their love for each other develops slowly...naturally...and is a pleasure to be part of. I do wish they would've had sex somewhere along the way, but I suppose abstinence stayed in check with Seb's respect for Annabelle.4 1/2 **** JQ's humor still seems a little forced but IMO this is her best book to date. Recommended to readers who enjoy sweet, fluffy romances with the beloved Epilogue so necessary for a perfect HEA!

I'm rereading my favourite historical romances and this one always makes me smile! I forgot how funny this one was too!!!

4,5Reseña completa http://letraslibrosymas.blogspot.com/...¡Me ha cautivado! Es que todo me parece increíble y perfecto, la historia, como se va desarrollando, los personajes y su romance, incluso los secundarios son tremendos. Al principio tenía una cosilla que no terminaba de cuajar, que son las listas de diez cosas que hacían los protagonistas, me resultaba forzado y extraño y por eso le he bajado medio punto al libro, pero luego me fue gustando más según se veía reflejada en ellas la personalidad de los personajes.La historia es sencilla, pero el camino se disfruta muchísimo. Una historia romántica con sus buenas dosis de drama, obstáculos y malentendidos, pasión, piques, mucha química y humor y momentos dulces y bonitos que te dejan embobada. Y es que Annabel y Sebastian son la leche, tanto por separado como juntos, me han robado el corazón y me han hecho pasar grandes momentos.La pluma de la autora es perfecta para esta novela, sencilla, ágil, con diálogos ligeros y chispeantes, descripciones precisas y creando momentos memorables y personajes arrolladores, así que engancha y la historia de devora. Me han gustado sobre todo los protagonistas, porque son muy carismáticos y divertidos, inteligentes y agudos, con varias capas e imperfectos, además vamos viendo como van creciendo y sus sentimientos y pensamientos cambian porque ambos son narradores y eso le aporta más profundidad a la historia y a ellos. Una deliciosa novela romántica.

Me, jumping up and down. Julia Quinn is back. After ditching Because of Miss Bridgerton and losing interest towards the end of the original Bridgerton series I went on a break. Sad as JQ and Lisa Kleypas are the two authors that pulled me back into romances.Ten Things was delicious and charming. Plenty of banter from the hero, and the heroine is yet another intelligent and sweet heroine that gets her happy ending.The premise is that Annabel’s awful grandparents want her to marry the even more awful Earl of something. He’s in search of a young bride he can breed to get another heir. He’s old enough to be her grandfather which is brought home in a ridiculous way later. Our hero, Sebastian, is a charmer. A hint of PTSD from the war, he just so happens to be heir to the awful Earl.Events come to a head at a house party that has a thrilling confrontation. JQ’s writing is fluid and easy to read, and she nails the Sebastian’s inner voice well as some nice banter between the hero and heroine.But her grandmother cut her off with a sigh worthy of the Covent Garden stage. “Go ahead,” she said, waving an arm to the connecting door. “Put him in my bed.” “What?” Annabel gasped. “We’ll just have to let everyone think he died having his way with me.” “But—but—” Annabel gaped at her grandmother, then looked at Lord Newbury, and then at Sebastian, who appeared to be speechless. Sebastian. Speechless. Apparently, this was what it took.Not perfect by any means as the the heroine’s grumpy grandfather goes missing halfway through and some other minor issues, but the enjoyment of reading a book where the hero and heroine actually like each other without dragging into boredom more than made up for any infractions.

Hacía mucho, mucho, mucho tiempo que no leía a Julia Quinn. No sé por qué dejé exactamente de leerla, creo que un libro me dejó indiferente y por eso la aparqué o quizá se me fue de la cabeza. La cuestión es que el otro día una gran amiga me habló de ella y tuve unas ganas tremendas de retomarla. El

8/10Es una bonita y entretenida historia pero quizás haya sido un poco siempre
