These tales balance witty banter, sharp social observation, and tender emotional payoff, delivering heroines who laugh at convention yet seize their own happiness, and heroes whose serious exteriors conceal deeply loyal hearts. The tone is light enough for a weekend escape, yet the emotional connections run true, offering heartfelt moments that linger long after the final page. Whether you’re revisiting beloved Smythe-Smith cousins or discovering this Charming Regency universe for the first time, this three-book set provides a complete, immersive experience in Quinn’s signature blend of humor and romance.

What This Collection Covers:
This set centers on the Smythe-Smith family’s annual musicale, a recurring stage for miscommunications, mischief, and undeniable chemistry. Across Just Like Heaven, The Sum of All Kisses, and The Secrets of Sir Richard Kenworthy, readers follow three distinct romances that unfold against a shared social backdrop—nuanced friendships, wedding-season pressures, and the quiet ache of longing finally acknowledged. The collection explores themes of second chances, forgiveness, and redefining what bold love looks like within the constraints of Regency society. Readers will notice Quinn’s deft touch with humor that never undercuts heart, and a gradual deepening of connection as couples navigate misunderstandings, past hurts, and the courage to choose happiness. This set is ideal for fans seeking a complete, satisfying arc in a Regency romance that emphasizes character growth as much as courtship and chemistry.

Just Like Heaven
Honoria Smythe-Smith, the youngest daughter in a sprawling aristocratic clan, performs on violin in the family’s annual musicale—an event notorious for its musical misfires as much as its romantic misadventures. She openly admits she’s probably the worst musician in the quartet, yet she approaches every embarrassment with a light heart and a ready laugh. The performance becomes the spark for a romance with Marcus Holroyd, a man whose earnest charm and steadfast presence challenge Honoria to believe that love might be more than a jest. This first installment delivers witty dialogue, charm-filled chemistry, and a heroine who embraces vulnerability with humor, inviting readers into a world where imperfect performances become perfect love stories.

The Sum of All Kisses
Hugh Prentice, a brilliant mathematician, carries the burden of a ruined leg from a duel, which limits his prospects for courtship with Lady Sarah Pleinsworth, who is anything but shy or retiring. Sarah has never forgiven him for the duel that disrupted her family, and the pair’s initial friction seems insurmountable. Yet when they are forced into close proximity for a week, old assumptions buckle under the weight of undeniable attraction. With Quinn’s characteristic banter and a slow-blooming romance, this tale blends intellectual wit with emotional warmth, proving that first impressions can be misleading and that intellect and heart can converge into a deeply satisfying love story.

The Secrets of Sir Richard Kenworthy
Sir Richard Kenworthy faces a rapidly approaching deadline to find a bride, and Iris Smythe-Smith—quiet, underestimated, and perceptively observant—becomes the unlikely object of his attention. Iris’s quiet wit and wary curiosity lead to a romance built on mutual discovery rather than grand gestures. The dynamic in this fourth Smythe-Smith novel deepens themes of trust, vulnerability, and resilience as two wary souls learn to see beyond appearances and choose love on their own terms. Quinn crafts a slow-burn, emotionally resonant conclusion to the trio, pairing humor with heartfelt confession to leave readers hopeful about the power of love to transform even the most guarded hearts.

Who This Set Is Perfect For:
This trio is ideal for readers who adore witty, character-driven historical romance with clever dialogue and emotionally earned payoffs. It suits fans of Regency-era settings, fans of The Bridgerton universe seeking similar charm and warmth, and readers who enjoy romances where families, friends, and social conventions shape the path to true love. It’s a wonderful gift for anniversaries, bridal showers, or anyone who appreciates a gratifying blend of humor, heart, and a touch of mischief. The set also works well for book clubs exploring themes of forgiveness, class dynamics, and the evolution of relationships across multiple narratives within a shared world.
