Julia Quinn

Julie Pottinger was raised in the New England although much of her time was spent in USA’s California after the separation of her parents. Julie Pottinger devoured books from a very young age. Her father was however very strict on the choices of books she led and at most times found themselves disagreeing on this.

The best place to start is the Blydon series, the earliest of Julia Quinn's multi-book series: it opens with Dancing at Midnight (1995) and runs to 4 books across 1995–2003, ending with Where's My Hero? (2003). Julia Quinn's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.
