Here are some customer reviews of
It's In His Kiss
: I really feel that Julia Quinn should take a year off writing and travel somewhere to get fresh ideas. The first Julia Quinn book that I read was 'An Offer From a Gentleman', which was about the second Bridgerton sibling. I loved it; I was hooked to Bridgerton stories. I love 'The Duke and I', 'The Viscount Who Loved Me', and 'Romancing Mr Bridgerton'.
I think since 'To Sir Phillip, With Love', the quality of Julia Quinn's writing has gone downhill. 'Sir Phillip' is still a good read, but Francesca story (see, I don't even remember the title, but I remember it's the one with the red cover) is kinda boring. 'It's In His Kiss' doesn't make me read in a marathon, can't-sleep-until-finish kind of reading like the books I mention in the first paragraph of this review. But what can I say; I love Bridgerton stories. I hope Julia will write a great story about Gregory.
 I love Julia Quinn's humor and writing style. Her book It's in His Kiss continues her trend of marrying contemporary themes and language into historical romantic fiction. She brings her characters to life---I'd personally like to meet any of the characters she has created. A wonderful read!
This book is fast, fun, and written in Ms. Quinn's usual impeccable style. But the relationship felt forced and the plot contrived. Both Gareth and Hyacinth impulsively go for a kiss and have "aha" moments where they realize their deep, previously hidden love and passion for each other. In Romancing Mister Bridgerton, Colin has a similar sort of realization, and as I read through that passage, I completely bought his unexpected emotional upheaval. Gareth and Hyacinth's fall into love was far less believable. On top of this, the jewel plot was a bit silly.
Still, a mediocre book by Julia Quinn is an excellent book. Gareth and Hyacinth were both solid characters with consistent personalities. After the awkward realization of love, the two of them mesh quite nicely as a couple. All of the secondary characters were strong as well, although this book feels a little empty when I consider how few of the Bridgerton clan actually walk through these pages.
I have been eagerly awaiting Julia Quinn's next novel about the Bridgerton family. This tale is about Hyacinth Bridgerton finding love. It is obvious from the first page who the hero and heroine are to be, but you can just sit back and enjoy the journey of their courtship told in Julia Quinn's light and amusing style.
After reading her book, "It's in his kiss," Julia Quinn describes how the father orders Gareth St. Clair to marry Mary Winthrop for money. The father is stunned because Mary may be a year older than him, but no more than just a child in her mind. He refuses to marry Mary Winthrop. Stunned, Gareth vows to learn the truth about his roots. Ten years later, Gareth finally has a clue, the diary of his Italian grandmother. He asks intelligent linguist Hyacinth Bridgerton to translate it into English for him. As they work together on the translation and interpretation, they fall in love. Readers will not be disappointed with Gareth as Julia Quinn. This book is simply amazing. She delivers under extreme pressure to find the right hero in her life. This is a perfect book for those who like to read romance stories or something different. I recommend it to anyone!!
