There were some really frustrating parts. I liked Sebastian (I usually like characters of his type -- the life-of-the-party types that aren't all overbearing and alpha-male-y), thought Annabel was okay but I felt that a few of the plot threads were dropped or forgotten about and it just felt...i...
¿Adorable, intrigante, hilarante? Es difícil de catalogar esta novela, aunque amo que la autora haga sus propios clásicos de los clásicos. Sï, aquí hay un toque de Romeo y Julieta, pero llevado de una manera para nada predictiva, al menos no en el sentido del clásico de Shakespiere...No sé como l...
3,5 STARS!! :)Quite better than the first book, I found this story a lot more appealing, especially the second half. There was still some insta-lust at the beginning that I didn't like, but the story got better after the first-maybe-too-forced encounter and managed to keep me hooked. I also thoug...
En realidad 3.5Un libro bastante mejor que el anterior. Sigue totalmente la línea de las novelas de la autora y vuelve recurrir a un esquema que a ella le funciona muy bien. Dos personas que parten de una aversión mutua pero que el roce "forzoso" provocará que a medida que se van conociendo realm...
Julia Quinn is definitely the author who can make one have sleepless night thinking and giggling about a story. The sum of all kisses is the mathematics we all need in our life. Hugh and Sarah is a character which potrays wittness and they are also good in having a smart conversation. This book w...
This is the second time I am reading this. I am still laughing out loud. The book is basically a series of novellas with points of view changing as couples get engaged. The pace is quite fast with couples falling in love within a few days. I enjoyed it really because it was funny. Small note to t...
I enjoyed these epilogues to the 8 original Bridgerton novels. Some were better than others, obviously, and none of these novellas really stood out as something worth re-reading, but I enjoyed them at the time. In a lot of cases, they added some closure to a plot thread Quinn might have left unti...
I don't know why I keep insisting on reading romantic fiction. Most of these books make me roll my eyes so consistently that they roll on their own accord now. I used to love Julia Quinn but I guess I have outgrown such books. A couple issues I had with this book were characters laugh heartily at...
exellent Perfect Romance story, Little bit of a hero scenario in it- But thats what I love about this story!
De los tres fue el que más me gusto, Me pareció muy inteligente la forma de hacer las listas. Quattro stelle scarse. Il migliore della serie è il secondo.
Not Julia Quinn's best, but it remains enjoyable.I rather liked that both characters had had real traumas in their past, and were not only merely terrified of their shadows and of the idea that they would die too young. However those real traumatic events were not fully developed and certainly no...
I read "When He Was Wicked" years ago. I knew at the time that there was a second epilogue, but I only recently got my hands on it. I'm giving it three stars, not because it was bad (it was pretty good), but because it was NECESSARY. The author has a short note at the beginning saying that she wr...
3.25 NOTHING happens in this book. Literally nothing. But it was fun to read and I really enjoyed it.
This is a funny and clever book. I really liked it. Worth the read if you are a romance lover. This is a funny and clever book. I really liked it. Worth the read if you are a romance lover.
Los epílogos de los libros que hacían falta, curiosamente del primer y último libro, son estupendos.Primero el epílogo de Daphne nos hace retroceder al primer libro y recordar esa relación con Simon, además de involucrar a Colin y su familia en todo esto. La pobre Daphne tiene que enfrentar de nu...
kalo kaga 5 bintang, kaga sah!!!8 bab awal gw ngakak sampe sakit perut, bener2 ni kelakuan para Bridgerton, ude pada punya anak tetep aja sama.. ampun deh!! dan pas bab 9 : Cinta untuk Violet gw mewek2 sampe netes tes tes tes... kaga kebayang rasanya jadi Violet, hamil tua dan suaminya mati gitu ...
The book’s biggest enemy was its format. At best, it left me wanting more after a too-short story; at worst, it threw me overly simplified characters and a barely cobbled-together plot. All three of the authors would have been better off more fully developing each of their plots and characters.Th...
The Bridgerton saga continues to amaze me! Although I must say, I liked this one a bit less than the other books. It gets more of a 3.5 rating than 4. Benedict and Sophie's story is a Cinderella retelling, but of course it's much more than just a retelling. All the necessary ingredients to make a...
(Sep) I love Julia Quinn. I love even crappy Julia Quinn. I enjoyed her story in The Lady Most Willing - and then discovered there was one before it, The Lady Most Willing...how could I have missed it?! So I grabbed it and started reading.Hmmm...Opening rang a bell - guy has sister help make h...
Soy totalmente parcial con este libro! Amo el cuento de la cenicienta Şuana kadar okuduğum en güzel kitabı. Peri masalı gibiydi...
I always like Cinderella. the cutest story..i can read it again n againthe characters are soo perfect & romantic
I bought an audio file copy from audible.co.uk to get me through a borrowing bit of admin at work.It's always a joy to read, or in this case listen to, Julia Quinn.She has such a unique and funny writing voice, and it really shone through with the narration by Kevan Brighting.One of the things I ...
Have liked all of Julia Quinn's books these epilogues just finished off bridgerton series HEE.Just, HEE.That is all.(I can't believe I forgot to add this one...)
I liked this, that should be the last installment in the Smythe-Smith Series. Richard and Iris are quite a good couple and they are witty and entertaining, I just felt like the finale was too rushed, I would have liked to see how the forgiveness would have go on, I mean, it was a big betrayal but...
Once again we are at that annual horrible Smythe-Smith musical. And once again the music is just plain terrible. In spite of that Sir Richard Kenworthy picks as his bride Iris Smythe-Smith.I loved Iris. She knows something if off with Sir Richard but just does not know what. Even so she agree...
I was so excited for this book as Julia Quinn is a favorite of mine; I normally love her work and I also (surprise, surprise) love to see the quiet/shy girl get the guy. Though there was witty dialog and moments that had me laughing out loud, I really have to say I was disappointed and bothered b...
Rating: 4.5 / 5I really enjoyed this book. I've been a bit so-so on Quinn lately as her last few books haven't really captivated me. But I wanted to read the Bridgerton series and finally have time to work on it. I'm glad I did read this one. It really kept me reading from the first page to the l...
When Charles Wycombe, the dashing and incorrigible Earl of Billington, toppled out of a tree and landed at Ellie Lyndon‘s feet, neither suspected that such an inauspicious meeting would lead to marriage. But Charles must find a bride before his thirtieth birthday or he’ll lose his fortune. And El...
Reading the author note at the beginning from JQ about how she doesn’t believe in love at first sight, hit the nail on the head for myself as a person and a reader. Although it sounds lovely with flowers and sparkles all around, it’s only fairy tales. But in JQ fashion she made me believe in love...
When I read a book, I want to become involved emotionally. A book that does that is more likely to be highly rated. Such was the case with The Duke and I.I have a sickness, an infatuation for tortured, dark, conflicted heroes. The happy-go-lucky guys don't capture my imagination nearly so much...
IT TAKES A MINX TO TEMPT A ROGUE...Henrietta Barrett has never followed the dictates of society. She manages her elderly guardian's remote Cornwall estate, wears breeches instead of frocks, and answers to the unlikely name of Henry. But when her guardian passes away, her beloved home falls into t...
Bu yorumu Kitap Esintisi sayfasında bulabilirsiniz. Öpüşünde Saklı benim aslında dört gözle beklediğim kitaplardan biriydi. Çünkü Bridgerton kardeşlerden Hyacinth favorim olmaya aday bir kardeş. Sivri dili, kimseden sakınmaması ve mizah anlayışı onu benim gözümde süper bir karakter yapıyor. Ayrıc...
Lady Arabella Blydon has beauty and a brain, and she’s tired of men who can see only one without the other. When a suitor tells Arabella he’s willing to overlook her appalling bluestocking tendencies on account of her looks and fortune, she decides to take a break from the Marriage Mart. During ...

This book recounts the age-old tale of falling in love with your best friend's girl...but what happens when you get your chance at her hand, albeit at the loss of your best friend through his untimely death?This is a beautiful Regency romance on grief, loss, and moving on.

Counting, always counting. Seven days since her last menses. Six until she might be fertile. Twenty-four to thirty-one until she might expect to bleed again, provided she didn’t conceive. Which she probably wouldn’t. It had been three years since she’d married Michael. Three years. She’d suffered...
So does Lady Bridgerton. Interesting . . . LADY WHISTLEDOWN’S SOCIETY PAPERS, 18 JUNE 1817 Benedict decided he had never loved his mother more than he did at that very minute. He was trying not to grin, but it was exceedingly difficult with Lady Penwood gasping like a fish on land. The magistrate...
He wished it had been the brandy. Brandy would have been a hell of a lot simpler than this. Miranda. What the hell had he been thinking? Nothing. He obviously hadn’t been thinking at all. At least not with his head. He had kissed Miranda. Hell, he had practically mauled her. And it was difficult ...
It was one of the finest things about horses—they never expected conversation. He had no idea what he was meant to say to Grace once he saw her again. Lovely kissing you. Wish we’d done more. It was the truth, even if he’d been the one to cut them off. He’d been aching for her all night. He might...
No, he felt like he’d been to hell. And come back. And perhaps gone again, just because it hadn’t been hot enough the first time. He had no idea how long he’d been sick. A day, maybe? Two? The fever had started . . . Tuesday? Yes, Tuesday, although that didn’t really signi...
This Author personally detests the holiday. A girl must take the measure of her worth by the number of cards and bouquets she receives, and a young man is forced to spew poetry as if anyone actually spoke in rhyme.It’s a wonder the holiday hasn’t been banned from the capital. Or the nation, for t...
He had asked her to help him edit his writing, a task she found thrilling. She was, of course, overjoyed that he had entrusted this critical job to her. It meant he trusted her judgment, thought she was smart and clever, felt that she could take what he had written and make it even better. But th...
After all that kissing of hands at the Hargreaves’ Ball, he’s become a veritable monk. Not a single party attended all week. How very unlike him. One can only wonder whether his father is rejoicing or sobbing with despair. The lack of merriment might indicate a certain willingness to settle down,...
Cavendish, I Presume @page { margin-bottom: 5.000000pt; margin-top: 5.000000pt; } “He is your first cousin,” she said. “One would think, given the lack of close relations in our family, that you would be eager to welcome him into the fold.” One would, Thomas thought, looking warily over at Audley...
He was beautiful. She hadn’t realized a man could be beautiful, but it was the only word that could possibly describe him. She lifted one hand and gingerly placed it against his skin. His blood leaped and pulsed beneath, and she nearly pulled away. “No,” he said, covering her hand with his own. H...
Belle said excitedly. “I have a feeling I’m going to live to regret it,” Emma responded. She and her cousin were sitting in the Blydons well-sprung carriage on their way to return the earrings that Sophie had pressed into Emma’s hands the day before. “Nonsense,” Belle said offhandedly. “Besides, ...
