Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books What Happens in London (Bevelstoke #2)
RUMORS AND GOSSIP... THE LIFEBLOOD OF LONDON!When Olivia Bevelstoke is told that her new neighbor may have killed his fiancee, she doesn't believe it for a second, but, still, how can she help spying on him, just to be sure? So she stakes out a spot near her bedroom window, cleverly concealed by curtains, watches, and waits... and discovers a most intriguing man, who is definitely up to something.
Sir Harry Valentine works for the boring branch of the War Office, translating documents vital to national security. He's not a spy, but he's had all the training, and when a gorgeous blonde begins to watch him from her window, he is instantly suspicious. But just when he decides that she's nothing more than an annoyingly nosy debutante, he discovers that she might be engaged to a foreign prince, who might be plotting against England. And when Harry is roped into spying on Olivia, he discovers that he might be falling for her himself...

"What Happens in London" has so many rave reviews, that maybe my expectations were a little too high. I do think Julia Quinn's writing style is excellent, so much thought goes into every single page. The main characters' witty banter and snappy inner dialogue were so much fun to read. I absolutely loved the supporting character, Sebastian! He was just too much fun to read about, especially his love for the silly "Ms. Butterworth" novel. He was such a vivid character who just jumped off the pageThis was a lovely book! Different than the previous one in the series but equally wonderful nevertheless. Harry is a great hero.

Russian spies + witty banter + sexual tension= the first five star Julia Quinn book for me. :)
Do you like Cute?If you do and find JQ funny, then you will love this fluffy, light, sweet romance which is nothing but one vignette after another of the H/H flirting and rolling their eyes and just being a-dor-a-ble.If you dont find JQ funny (sacrilege!), then you might begin to notice that beyond the set-up to get the H/H to meet, this book doesnt have a plot and that the H/H act like they are 16 instead of 28/22. The H/H are next door neighbors and talk outside their windows constantly. The
I think I might need a break from this genre. I didn't enjoy this story that much. The first book was a bit better.Yes, there are a couple of entertaining moments in the beginning. The prologue has made me believe this would be better. Even though they start as funny and entertaining, Harry Valentine and Olivia Bevelstoke are bland and boring later. (view spoiler)[I wish authors would stop depicting Russians the way they do. It seems it doesn't matter whether they are good (a rare beast) or bad
Julia QuinnRecommended for migraines, headaches and all ailments of the mind and the soul. May cause stomach cramps due to excessive, belly-shaking laughter and a wave of fuzziness as side effects. Like this:This is honestly one of the most delightful, amusing stories I have ever read! Julia Quinn always delivers on many levels, but What Happens In London is the epitome of fun, with the heartwarming feelings and the delectable tension complementing one of her best works.
