Commentary In Pursuance Of Books Everything and the Moon (The Lyndon Sisters #1)
Original cover edition for this ISBN is hereSeven years ago she broke his heart...
When Robert Kemble stumbles across Victoria Lyndon in hedgerow maze, he can't believe his eyes. The girl who'd torn him in two, who let him plan on elopement and then left him standing by the side of the road, was suddenly within arm's reach, and even though his fury still knew no bounds, she was impossible to resist...
Seven years ago he left her all but ruined...
Victoria's father had told her an earl would never marry a vicar's daughter, and he was right. Robert had promised her marriage, then danced off to London while she suffered the shame of a foiled elopement. But even though Victoria doesn't particularly enjoy her new life as a governess, when Robert offers her a job of a different sort—his mistress—she refuses, unable to sacrifice her honor, even for him.
But Robert won't take no for an answer, and he vows to make her his, through any means possible. Can these star-crossed lovers learn to trust again? And is love really sweeter the second time around?

YikesI'm just going to forget I read this book. I refuse to let a silly insta-love, horrible just horrible jerk of a hero, or a extremely annoying and repetitive story taint my love for JQ.
Review taken from my Blog in October 2010:I have to admit that I am still on my Julia Quinn/Stephanie Laurens quest, but I have some some other authors in the wings so to speak.It's just that these two estimable ladies are my particular favourites at this time. I am always open to persuasion however.So to this story of Robert Kemble and Victoria Lyndon ... the son of an Earl and a Vicar's daughter.... can they marry .... well, actually yes after 7 years!A record read time even for me. A 5 *****
If you can get past the nauseating instalove in the first few chapters, this is a rather good story. The hero is determined to win Victoria's love and Victoria is determined to make Robert suffer...instalove or not. I loved seeing the verbal sparring between the two of them. An engaging and romantic tale.
It wasn't her beauty. It wasn't her intelligence.It certainly wasn't her grace. He couldn't put his finger on it. All he knew was that she was perfect and he fell instantly in love.And thus is the case of Love at first sight, it defies conventions, it makes no sense and it never play according to any rules.If Robert had had any doubts about the perfection of the woman standing before him, they melted away under the force of her smile and obvious sense of humor.Anymore and I'll fall in love with
Everything and the Moon3 StarsAs a huge fan of Quinn's Bridgertons series, it always amazes me that the same writer is responsible for her ridiculously plotted early works. Everything and the Moon has potential as a story of lovers reunited after a huge misunderstanding. Let me preface the rest of this review by saying that this theme is one I detest with a vengeance. That said, it is actually well-written here and the first half of the book is engaging, particularly due to Robert and Victoria's
I've read worse romance novels, but this is the first one that I've ever actually thrown across the room in rage. The other books I'd read by Julia Quinn made me really trust her as someone with a feminist understanding about female autonomy and male-female power dynamics. Everything and the Moon betrayed that trust throughout its plot, summarized below.The book goes wrong from the first. In the 'Dear Reader' author's note, Quinn says that in this book she tries something she normally doesn't
