His life changed drastically when he went away to school and met the outgoing Daniel Smythe-Smith. Marcus Holroyd, Earl of Chatteris, grew up very quietly with his stern father. Since he knew he wouldn’t be around to look after Honoria, Daniel asked his best friend, Marcus, to watch over her. Honoria’s brother, Daniel, left England under a cloud of censure after wounding another peer in a duel. Honoria even manages to do it with a smile on her face, because she loves her family and enjoys the time she spends with her cousins (even if the rehearsals really don’t help). Others, like Honoria, are very aware but continue to do their familial duty. Some of the Smythe-Smiths really have no idea the damage they do to the ears of the ton during their annual musicale. Girls in the family are expected to be part of the quartet after they make their debut in society. Honoria Smythe-Smith is a violinist in the Smythe-Smith quartet. Finally, we get to meet them and, maybe, find out what in the world they are thinking with the whole musicale thing. Quinn’s books have often attended the musicale, but the Smythe-Smiths remained a bit of a mystery. Why infamous? Because *whispers* the Smythe-Smiths are not particularly musical. Who are the Smythe-Smiths? Ask any Julia Quinn fan and they will tell you – the Smythe-Smiths host an annual musicale. The Smythe-Smiths are here! The Smythe-Smiths are here! Historical Romance published by Avon 31 May 11 C2’s review of Just Like Heaven (Smythe-Smith, Book 1) by Julia Quinn
