Nora Roberts calls Julia Quinn’s novels, “Delightful.” The #1 New York Times bestselling creator of the irresistible Bridgerton family, Quinn offers historical romance readers new delights with A Night Like This—the second book (following the phenomenal Just Like Heaven) to feature the affairs, romantic and melodic, of the endearing, if painfully untalented, Smythe-Smith musicians. On A Night Like This in Regency England, anything can happen, especially when a beautiful pianist sitting in at the annual Smythe-Smith musicale catches the eye of a haunted, hunted man in desperate need of redemption. There is simply no author in the realm of historical romance fiction hotter than the remarkable Julia Quinn—and anyone who has ever been swept away by the love stories of Amanda Quick, Lisa Kleypas, or Jill Barnett will cherish A Night Like This.

Summary
I didn't think this one was as funny as some of her other books. I am Julia Quinn fan so my expectations were high for this book. Anne and Daniel have good chemistry. Good friendship between Daniel and Hugh. Some of the best parts of the book were when Daniel was surrounded by all the women and girls and trying to follow the conversations. If you are new to Julia Quinn, read one of her other books first. This one is not a good representation of what she can do.
Violence-1-a duel, a fist fight resulting in several bruises that are part of the storyline, someone's face is cut with a knife. Two people are kidnapped. None of it was disturbing and most of it occurred in the past and was just mentioned.
Language-1-OMG was used twice, and God d@mn was used once. that is all that I recall.
Sexual-4-This one is between a 3-4. Although you only have one physical scenes there is language leading up to it throughout most of the book and within the first few pages.
Drug & Alcohol-1-opening scene they are drunk; Daniel doesn't drink again, Hugh drinks occasionally.
