I would have given this a slightly higher rating but one scene specifically was fairly sickening.

Gareth persuades Hyacinth into having sex with him so that she will be forced to marry him. This is made explicit in the text.

I think this is my favourite Bridgerton book! Lots of outspoken Hyacinth and Lady Danbury, more fantastic Violet, and Gareth was actually a likeable hero too.

Very cute story. There were more substantial sideplots than in previous books, more 🌶 (with the exception of book 6), and all the fun Bridgerton-Danbury antics. Hyacinth instantly become one of ny fav Bridgerton heroines. A few iffy decisions by the male lead but he was redeemed. Overall, definitely recommend.

I love the sense of adventure in this book. For once, I enjoyed both main characters in a Bridgeton book. Well worth the wait. I connect to Hyacinth's desire to solve the case and her struggle to find the right person. Gareth struggled with emotions around his father even long after his childhood. Lady Danbury is always a plus. As with any Bridgeton book, there's parent trama, the reformed rake and virgin, and other overused tropes which are getting super old. I also miss Lady Whistledown, which made this series so unique. The second epilogue wasn't satisfying to me. The first was fine,

but the kid's actions didn't feel real. I would try to figure out how they got there and probably showed off to someone as a kid. Not let someone else take the glory or just put it back.
