Marcus Holroyd, the Earl of Chatteridge, on the other hand, is Daniel”s best friend, who has secretly been charged with keeping an eye on Honoria while her brother is away. She is also on her third season and is desperate to find a husband, if only to escape the dread of her once happy home following a scandal that has forced her brother Daniel to flee the country. She continues to live out the tradition because her family matters a great deal to her. Honoria Smith-Smythe is a member of the quartet and knows that she plays the violin terribly. However, this is an activity which they endure politely because the family’s status in society. The event features a quartet of unmarried ladies from the brood performing/massacring Mozart, and could be considered torture by most members of the ton. Just Like Heaven is a new series from Quinn which features secondary characters from the Bridgerton series - the Smith-Smythes, a well meaning highborne family who are blissfully unaware (at least the older ones are) of their lack of musical skills thus compelling them to continue with the tradition of staging an annual musicale. So since today is a Sunday, I decided to pick one and start off with a light historical romance by one of my favorite authors on the genre - Julia Quinn. I haven’t read a book for quite a while now, and as a result, my TBR pile is growing tall.
