I love the push and pull between the two characters, but what I love most is that Julia left the readers wanting more. I hope Shonda can find her way back to this fiery story. It simply cannot be played out by “Michaela”

This is my favorite out of the series I wish I could go back and read it for the first time again!

So far one my favorite, can wait to see Michael in the TV series at Netflix. I hope they do follow the book as it is.

Since watching the series I grown impatient so I started reading the books. I enjoyed Francesca story I like her story better in the book then in the series so far, and I hope the series stays with in the book story lines , I would be VERY disappointed if otherwise.

TikTok reviews lead me to buy this book! I kept coming across reviews that rated Francesca’s story as one of the best in the series. Given that season 3 on Netflix ended with a teaser of her story, I was curious to read it! I can see why people rate it positively. It takes you through love, loss, fertility issues & ends with her happily ever after & oh my goodness the steamy scenes were steaming! I give it a 4 because I felt like some of the later chapters were a bit slow. Overall, good book. It was an easy read. I was able to read it over the course of an 8 hour travel day.

I wouldn’t consider my self a hopeless romantic. But, I did enjoy this because it wasn’t rushed, and this is probably the only time I can accept the “They would’ve wanted you to move on.” Trope.

everyone is saying good things so i feel bad for this but i feel like i should be honest. michael really just didn’t seem like a great guy. he was kind of mean to francesca just because he was in love with her and trying not to reveal it, which isn’t a great reason in my opinion. ESPECIALLY the woman you love. and at one point he literally says to her that he was trying to trap her into a marriage, which just doesn’t make for the best love story to me. so i didn’t hate it but it is my least favorite so far. i always love julia quinn though <3

Much different plot than others in this series and I like be Frannie. Always a good read when love wins!

I wasn’t sure at first but it was everything and more

This book was really really really hot. I think of all the Bridgerton novels I’ve read so far (5), this was hands down the spiciest and sexiest, yet. While yes, it was a slow build to the climax of the story, it was worth it. This book was sad, but it also made me literally cry big wet happy tears for Francesca by the 2nd epilogue. Michael is a great character and anyone plagued by unrequited love can understand him. I loved the dramatics and sarcasm from him as well. All in all I liked this book a lot more than I thought I would and would definitely recommend not skipping it as I almost did.
