It's in His Kiss by Julia Quinn
I found “It’s in His Kiss” to be delightful! What made this novel different from the others in the Bridgerton series is that it incorporated elements of mystery and humor in addition to romance. Gareth St. Clair is in a bind and is hoping that whatever is hidden within the pages of an old family diary will free him of his father’s debts. Unfortunately, the diary is written in Italian. Cue Hyacinth Bridgerton. The ton views Hyacinth as incredibly smart and outspoken. It is for this reason that Gareth simply believes she is not his type. Hyacinth believes Gareth to be a devilish rake and is determined to stay away from him. However, the two eventually find themselves working side by side to translate Gareth’s family diary. It doesn’t take long for them to realize that maybe they were made for each other. These enemies-to-lovers novels held my attention the whole way through! It was incredibly fun to read excerpts of the diary as Hyacinth translated them. They revealed secrets about Gareth’s family and possible jewels that could free Gareth of debt. I found myself trying to solve many of the riddles on my own, to no avail. This book also made me laugh out loud! Gareth is related to Lady Danbury, so I got to see more of her character and witness her humorous side. Hyacinth and Gareth’s banter was also very amusing. I loved how they really could not stay away from each other, no matter how hard they tried to poke fun and tease each other. Their whirlwind romance was full of passion and incredibly addicting!
