Julia Quinn has a way of writing delightfully fun and humorous stories that ride the line of silly without (usually) tipping over. This one stands as the perfect example.
Olivia Bevelstoke and Sir Harry Valentine's relationship is an absolute joy to watch develop. Both characters share the ability to see the absurd in everyday situations and laugh at their own participation in them. Their first conversation from the windows of their respective homes while reading and discussing a torrid romance novel had me laughing out loud. Unfortunately just when I thought this would be the perfect, sweet romance where the couple are left to grow and develop a normal relationship, Quinn succumbs to the fatal urge of incorporating a very cliche and WAY overused plot devise to add suspense. That plus the absurdly ridiculous, completely unrealistic sex scene kept "What Happens.." from a much higher star.
