Pick but a low pick. I have enjoyed the series but there is nothing profound in the stories. It‘s an easy, get your mind off things read (which I‘ve needed lately). I do like how the author ties in what was happening in the time in England with women‘s rights issues. Each story is connected to a law that was trying to be passed in Parliament at the time. #bookspin #readyourkindle (I think my only Kindle read for the month)

I wasn't really excited for this book as you don't get to read about Gregory that much in the other books.
I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I loved Gregory and Lucy!
I love that Gregory was dead set on marrying for love like his siblings did.
I really enjoyed this series, and I loved how each sibling had such a different storyline!

Hyacinth is one of my favourite Bridgertons. I love that she reads cheesy romance novels to Lady Danbury.
I liked Gareth as well, except his plan to trap her into marriage.
I really like that this one included a mystery aspect as well! That was a nice addition.

Weekend reading. Enemies to lovers romance set in Russia.

Loved all the bad behaviour the lead characters get up to trying to put the other off marriage.

Satisfying ending.

Another book from my TBR list and I for one am happy to check this off.

I wish there was more of Sebastian moments. I feel that really could have helped his character's arc from rake to husband of convenience to caring and loving at the end because while I enjoyed the book, I just didn't really fall for it but I had moments were maybe with a little more something, I could have.

I can‘t remember where I found this book, but I enjoyed it way more than I expected. This was written at a time when stereotypes weren‘t kind, but liked the story between the two main characters. The mullet on the cover kills me though! 😂 😂

TheAromaofBooks I love the 80s habit of having the characters in the cover have various 80s things going on rather than attempting to make them actually match the era of the book. I have read several Grace Livingston Hill books (can you get milder romance than that??) originally published in the 20s with dramatic 80s covers and they always crack me up 6d
keys_on_fire @TheAromaofBooks Yes! I called out the mullet because your eyes are drawn there first, but the female model also has a much for 1980‘s ‘do 😂 I may have to look for the ones your mentioned! 6d

Francesca drove me a little nuts throughout this book.
She was back and forth way too much with what she wanted.
Her fertility issues really touched home for me, I can relate to how she felt.
I love that each book is a little different. Each of the Bridgerton's have a different experience!

I didn't like this one as much. I liked Eloise but did not care for Phillip.
This one did not have as much build up as the others.
I did like that the male protagonist already had children. It was a nice change from the others.
