To Sir Phillip, With Love

Hmm...

Two “breaths they didn't know they were holding”.

“She wasn't wearing a shift” - yeah, she was. Is it because of books like this the costumers think they can show girls in costume movies and series wearing their corsets on bare skin? They didn't. They wouldn't. Because 1) corsets are difficult to clean, and they weren't dirty bitches, and 2) it's not comfortable to wear a corset against bare skin.

It's not funny to have four guys burst into your dining room, abuse the butler and abuse the lord of the manor. And then have the heroines ponder about how these guys are the gentlest, kindest, wisest, best men in the world.

Also, the magic of the willow bark... hmm.

This was obviously a quick write. It was a quick read, too, and there was quite a lot of romance, so I can understand why Julia Quinn is a popular romance novelist. She is rather good, actually. But... because of some of the choices, only 3 stars.
