Synopsis
Unlike most men of his acquaintance, Gregory Bridgerton believes in true love. And he is convinced that when he finds the woman of his dreams, he will know in an instant that she is the one. And that is exactly what happened. Except…
She wasn’t the one. In fact, the ravishing Miss Hermione Watson is in love with another. But her best friend, the ever-practical Lady Lucinda Abernathy, wants to save Hermione from a disastrous alliance, so she offers to help Gregory win her over. But in the process, Lucy falls in love. With Gregory! Except…
Lucy is engaged. And her uncle is not inclined to let her back out of the betrothal, even once Gregory comes to his senses and realizes that it is Lucy, with her sharp wit and sunny smile, who makes his heart sing. And now, on the way to the wedding, Gregory must risk everything to ensure that when it comes time to kiss the bride, he is the only man standing at the altar…
Thoughts
Book eight marks the end of my Bridgertons reading journey, and I am very sad about it. I happily rated each book in the series a strong four or five stars, and this book is no exception. It is not my favorite story in the series, but it is still delightful. I stand by my opinion that Julia Quinn is a cheeky modern Jane Austen. She has an excellent understanding of people, which makes for an entertaining read.
Read this series if you love:
- Historical Fiction
- Regency Era
- Jane Austen
- Low Spice
Edition
This pretty edition is from Once Upon a Book Club.
