Who believes in love at first sight?
When Robert Kemble, the Earl of Macclesfield, first laid eyes on Victoria Lyndon it is, for him, love at first sight. He promises to give her everything and the moon to prove his love for her.
It's not her beauty, her intelligence, or her grace, but yet she is just perfect. Robert is completely smitten, and vows to marry her one day.

Even though Victoria knows that nothing can come of their union, she falls in love with him too. For 2 months he courts her, secretly. Her father, who is a Vicar, would definitely not approve of their ill-matched relationship. Eventually, of course, her father finds out and is very angry, telling her that the son of an Earl will never marry a lowly Vicar's daughter.
When Robert tells his father he plans to marry the Vicar's daughter, the Earl warns him he faces disinheritance. How will the love
of his life feel about him when he is penniless? Robert refuses to believe that Victoria would not love him if he lost all his money, she would never be so shallow.

The only thing to do is for them to elope.
Plans are made, and then everything goes horribly wrong...
Julia Quinn writes delightful Regency romances, fast-paced, funny, and sparkling.
"Everything and the Moon"is the story of ill-fated love.
A witty tale of wrong assumptions and mistakenly drawn conclusions, this was a charming read which I thoroughly enjoyed, highly entertaining and ideal for a lazy day.
Happy reading!
