Splendid - Julia Quinn

Splendid is splendid! Julia Quinn will never disappoint me.  I love stories about duke (I'm a duchess anyway :p) . And this one is marvelous. Alexander Ridgley, the Duke Of Ashbourne was really really adorable! Hahaha...he was! And cute and awww...he was gorgeous and handsome beyond...hmm...little problem! I find that all the heroes were handsome. Blast! Alex was really handsome indeed. Green eyes, thick, black hair...I couldn't ask for more. Jealous of Emma(his wife or better say his Duchess), how couldn't I be jealous. She got Alex, she got the title, she got the huge estates and of course the grand house and she was loved. :( I am crying for my misfortune and for my lack of rational thinking to differ reality from fiction! Grrr.... I couldn't help myself. Everyone reacts the same, thinks the same and crying over this nonsense (not really nonsense for me).  Julia Quinn's debut novel was really captivating. Humorous, lots of fun, I found myself giggling and sometimes I couldn't contain my laughter. I read past my bedtime! I shouldn't laughed out loud but who cares (my parents did). Need to remind myself not to read Julia Quinn's novels at midnight but you could if there's no one around you that needs good sleep :) . I always love this quote       'reformed rakes often make the best husbands' . This is for Alex I believe. He was a rake. I love rakes. They always good at everything involving women. I love when they realized their mistresses couldn't wipe away the desire they felt for this particular lady. :) It's just like they knew the one for them but refused to acknowledge the feeling. Silly but cute. Hehe.. I love when they suddenly changed, they suddenly knew the smell of the lady, the color of the lady's eyes, the hair , the lips, the skin, the..emm..everything?? Yep, they thought the air changed when she was there. They dreamed of her, they ached for her but refused to admit love. Thousand times CUTE! :) Alex was all that and more. He didn't like to go to balls but because of Emma , he went to all balls where Emma went. He couldn't be at ease without seeing her at least once a day. And I adore his family. His mother was adorable, his younger sister was talkative and so much in love with her husband and so charming. Splendid! Everything was so splendid. The moment they ran to each other (not really run,she fainted), it just happened. Even when he thought Emma was a maid, he didn't care, well he did care for her :) . And adorable little Charlie was chewable(Sophie's son). Imagined Alex facial expression when he realized that the beautiful miss he thought a maid was actually an heiress from America. Awww... I like this kind of moment. And he was so possessive of Emma and scared off her admirers. Million times CUTE! Haha, and the friendship shown between Alex and Dunford was so heartwarming. And when he was in rage because of Emma's stupidity , he looked so handsome(my imagination really good indeed) . I am reading 'Dancing At Midnight' now and Alex and Emma made appearances and I realized I couldn't get enough of them. There was this scene where Emma accompanied Belle to London for 2 weeks but Alex won't let her and gave her a week of time only. Her first day there, Alex sent her notes twice asking her to come home and saying that he missed her terribly. Hahahaha, infinity of CUTENESS!! Read Splendid please. It was so splendid beyond splendid! Hahaha, you won't regret a bit. Arrhhh...I typed so much already. Blame Alex! He was the reason for all the reasons why I typed so much!
Kisses and hugs for them. :) I'll be enjoying their company in another novel besides the one I am reading right now. :) It's going to be Dunford's love stories!
