bed in the original edition published by the American Avon Books (an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers). In Italy, the novel was published it Novels Mondadori with the title of "All in a kiss."
Warning: spoilers.
tends not to classify this novel one of the most brilliant and original writings by Julia Quinn .
Initially I was puzzled by the sense of dejavu suscitatomi by the fact that I was reading the exploits of another "favorite nephew" Lady Danbury assertive and another young man who was holding the head of the crone tongue, making her company every Tuesday afternoon.
The two future lovers in question are Gareth St. Clair, of course, beautiful and cheeky rake and the smallest of Bridgerton, Hyacinth, a replica of his sisters, with the curiosity and penetrating saccenza to distinguish who is due in large brood ... Last but not least.
The lack of new topics for the series has meant that Julia Quinn may supply with the profession and the incomparable skill in inventing witty dialogues. The story is flimsy, even for a light and proceeds without the involvement of romance. At times it seems that the author has lost some 'the key to the problem and take advantage of gender stereotypes and the key points of its repertoire to pull a bit' in the rowing boat. As a result, Gareth and Hyacinth (the latter name is unpronounceable, in itself, but combined with that of him is even worse, so that even jokes about his brother Gregory, they talk of the two words full of jabbering "th" ...), although very nice, it's almost involuntary caricatures of the protagonists of the previous episodes of the series.
The few scenes that make the whole are stretched beyond what is necessary and the "mystery" on which interweaves the story is pretty broken, but of course serves to give the lovebirds an opportunity to spend time together and deepen mutual understanding .
Danbury Lady and Lady Violet Bridgerton look with great favor the possibility that their granddaughter and daughter join their lives and push to create the opportunity allow that to happen.
Gareth is basically a good guy, intelligent and honorable, but spent all his life to react with behaviors arrogant and full of youthful rebellion against the coldness, contempt and hatred that his father, Baron St. Clair , has always bestowed with both hands. Until one day, man, burdened by debts, had not sought to impose his son a marriage of convenience that Gareth had refused. The baron had then spat in his face the truth: Gareth's mother, dead for years, she had conceived with another man, cheating on her husband (who, on the other hand, he deserved to large), which at that period was absent from London for a couple of months. Compounding the relationship between Lord St. Clair and his wife's son had been joined by the sudden death of his eldest legitimate, George. Gareth is now the sole heir and the Baron, having recognized in the marital relationship at the time of his birth, he can not disown hours without making public their horns, something unthinkable for his pride. 
Hyacinth is a good-looking girl, like all Bridgerton in its third season and not easy to place double. Certainly not because it provided an excellent social position and a generous dowry, but because it is too clever, caustic and self-conscious, what that terrorizes the most attractive suitors. Coincidentally, Gareth St. Clair loves his maternal grandmother Lady Danbury, who has a penchant for Hyacinth that looks a lot like the attitudes and intellectual nell'acume. Then Gareth would also like Hyacinth is in fact the story unfolds that way. Hyacinth is also captured by the prerogatives of Gareth: beautiful, ironic, sexy and with a mind capable of taking on their own ancestor and thus to emulate her because of that.
Hyacinth, soon falls in love. Gareth is a bit 'slower. But just because it's got other problems to be solved with the so-called father.
In the middle stands a mysterious diary, written in Italian by the baron's mother, Isabella St. Clair, died a year and native of Italy. Of course, the inexhaustible Hyacinth had an Italian housekeeper and is able to translate the diary, which could bring out elusive hidden diamond bracelets at home by Isabella St. Clair, and perhaps the truth that she probably knew about the authorship of Gareth. Embark on this treasure hunt, unbeknownst to the Baron, Gareth and Hyacinth are introduced several times at night in the man's house, while he engages in social evenings. Jailbird was the diary, etc.. Etc..
Packaged at the end, the novel gives us some pleasant smile and the knowledge that we can do Julia Quinn whatever.
The epilogue is a dirty trick, a flash, cunning and unexpected, that makes us close the book wondering if there will be further development in the next and last in the series.
