there are lots of great moments in this between michael and francesca. i LOVED how michael encouraged francesca to take what she wanted, even if it hurt him in the process. he has loved, longed and pined for her for YEARS.
there’s just something about how this book was written that made it so much more heartwarming, mature, raunchy, and realistic. and i think the reason for that was because her innocence and virtue/virginity wasn’t a central part of the book like the previous ones. michael did not care that frannie wasn’t inexperienced, he liked that.
despite how much i enjoyed this one, some parts of the book still annoyed me, especially when they kept arguing with each other and with themselves and whether or not they should marry. and frannie running away at every turn she got was funny the first time but then it frustrated me. but at the same time i still understood why they were feeling so conflicted despite their shortcomings.
nonetheless, i still highly recommend this book.

after all that, i almost didn't finish the book. but then ms quinn hit me with a truly poignant and moving portrayal of grief, trauma, and moving on and allowing yourself to be happy again after the unthinkable has happened. that, combined with the really fun and heartfelt relationship of the bridgerton family, almost made it worth it for me. almost.

This book is a lot spicier than the rest in the series, which I liked because it fit the narrative that Francesca is a more experienced woman, having been widowed, and she’s not expected to be a naive virgin. I liked this book a lot, but I liked pen and Colin’s story just a bit more. I’m surprised how much I liked it because we haven’t really gotten to know Francesca at all through the books or show. I’m excited for her season whenever it comes on netflix! This book is by far the saddest in the series. Francesca’s life is struck with tragedy when her beloved husband dies suddenly, then she

After re-reading this book and the series so far, I have to say that this book is rather dull. I liked the characters. The story just went on too long.
March 2022-⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I enjoyed this book. It's not my favorite in the series I went back and further in trying to rate this one. Michael Stirling was the best character - and probably one of my favorites from the series.
This was another enjoyable book in the Bridgerton series.
