The Sum of All Kisses
By: Julia Quinn
Blurb
Hugh Prentice has never liked Lady Sarah Pleinsworth, and
his opinion is confirmed when he overhears her yammering on about how she must
get married this season or she will simply die. He’s never had patience for
dramatic females, and the words shy and retiring have never been in Sarah’s
vocabulary. Besides, even if he did grow to enjoy her company, it wouldn’t
matter. A reckless duel has left this brilliant mathematician with a ruined
leg, and now, unable to run, ride, or even waltz, he could never court a woman
like Sarah, much less dream of marrying her.
Sarah has never forgiven Hugh for the duel he fought three years earlier, the one that forced her cousin into exile, nearly destroying her family. But even if she could find a way to forgive him, it wouldn’t matter. She doesn’t care that his leg is less than perfect, it’s his personality she can’t stand.
But when the pair is forced to spend a week in close company they discover that opinions--even those firmest held--can, in fact, be altered. And when a kiss leads to two, three and four the mathematician may lose count and the miss may, for the first time, find herself speechless.

Author Info
#1 New York Times
bestselling author Julia Quinn loves to dispel the myth that smart women don't
read (or write) romance, and in 2001 she did so in grand fashion, appearing on
the game show The Weakest Link and walking away with the $79,000 jackpot. She
displayed a decided lack of knowledge about baseball, country music, and plush
toys, but she is proud to say that she aced all things British and literary,
answered all of her history and geography questions correctly, and knew that
there was a Da Vinci long before there was a code. Ms. Quinn is one of only
fifteen members of Romance Writers of America's Hall of Fame, her books have
been translated into 26 languages, and she currently lives with her family in
the Pacific Northwest.

I haven't read a Julia Quinn romance yet, but I'd love to try one.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this post! And hello to you, Julia. I'm stocking my reader and keeper shelves now so I can read to my heart's content over the rest of this month and December and January. It is my "me" time since my kids are grown and living on their own now. Instead of me issuing invitations to come for Christmas...I receive invitations to go to their homes. Yea! :-) So I really enjoy reading...a lot...at this time. So glad you have published a new story. jdh2690@gmail.com
