One thing was evident from the beginning of this book-it took a decidedly darker turn than any of the proceeding novels. The beautiful woman on his doorstep was anything but quiet and when she stopped talking long enough to close her mouth all he wanted to do was kiss her. Sir Phillip knew that Eloise Bridgerton was a spinster, and so he’d proposed, figuring that she’d be homely and unassuming, and more than a little desperate for an offer of marriage.


I have been really eager to read her romance since starting the series. She is no nonsense and isn’t afraid to speak her mind in a rather unapologetic way and I love her for it. She is vivacious and chatty and self aware in a way that some heroines just aren’t at times. The first book, The Duke and I, was good but there were some issues that I struggled with, but as the books have gone on I have enjoyed getting to know the various Bridgerton siblings in new ways and watching their HEA unfold.Įloise has been one of my favorite of the Bridgerton siblings. I have really enjoyed Julia Quinn’s writing as the books have gone on. I mean I devoured the show in one sitting and the only regret that I had was that it was over! I wanted to savor the books a little more and spread them out but sadly that is NOT happening. Another post another Bridgerton novel up for review! I honestly had planned to pace myself when it came to reading these books.
