2 March 1810 . . . Today, I fell in love.
At the age of ten, Miranda Cheever showed no signs of Great Beauty. And even at ten, Miranda learned to accept the expectations society held for her—until the afternoon when Nigel Bevelstoke, the handsome and dashing Viscount Turner, solemnly kissed her hand and promised her that one day she would grow into herself, that one day she would be as beautiful as she already was smart. And even at ten, Miranda knew she would love him forever.
But the years that followed were as cruel to Turner as they were kind to Miranda. She is as intriguing as the viscount boldly predicted on that memorable day—while he is a lonely, bitter man, crushed by a devastating loss. But Miranda has never forgotten the truth she set down on paper all those years earlier—and she will not allow the love that is her destiny to slip lightly through her fingers . . .

Summary
Overall I love JQ's books. This one had me laughing out loud when Miranda was trying to purchase the book from the 'gentlemens' bookstore. However I did find the
second half of the book a tad slow which is why I did not give it 5 stars. I loved how Miranda would speak her mind and the loyal friendship she had with Olivia. I hope Olivia gets her own book. I do recommend the book.
Violence The only violence I recall was in the book store and I am not sure it would be labeled violence or comedy.
Language There was some four letter words used. I did not feel that it was a distraction or that it took away from the story.
Sexual I believe there were 2-3 physical scenes in varying degrees. They were all well written and were not overly graphic in detail.
Drug & Alcohol Turner did turn to drinking brandy several times. He made some questionable decisions under the influence.
