Romancing Mr Bridgerton by Julia Quinn
Sep. 9th, 2024 12:09 amThe Blurb On The Back:
The fourth in Julia Quinn’s bestselling and beloved Bridgerton novels, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix. Welcome to Colin and Penelope’s story …
Everyone knows that Colin Bridgerton is the most charming man in London …
Penelope Featherington has secretly adored her best friend’s brother for … well, it feels like for ever. After half a lifetime of watching Colin from afar, she thinks she knows everything about him, until she stumbles across his deepest secret … and fears she doesn’t know him at all.
Colin Bridgerton is tired of being thought of as nothing but an empty-headed charmer, tired of the notorious gossip columnist Lady Whistledown, who can’t seem to publish an edition without mentioning him. But when Colin returns to London from a trip abroad, he discovers nothing in his life is quite the same - especially Penelope Featherington! The girl who was always simply there is suddenly the girl haunting his dreams. When he discovers that Penelope has secrets of her own, Colin must decide … is she his biggest threat - or his promise of a happy ending?
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The fourth in Julia Quinn’s bestselling BRIDGERTON SERIES is an entertaining Georgian romance where most of my interest came in seeing where the story and characters differ from the Netflix series. It utilises the trope of friends to lovers and although some of the writing isn’t technically great (everyone feels the need to use each other’s name all the time), there’s some sharp dialogue and fun lines such that I’d read the rest of the series.
