Reviews with content warning for Chronic illness - El corazón de una Bridgerton

This story made a nice change from the previous bridgerto books which were beginning to feel formulaic and samey. I also read some reviews when I was about half way through that said this was the steamiest one of them and was thoroughly puzzled by this but they were in fact right! Once it gets going it definitely does so in a way that perhaps only Daphne's story has.

I would have liked the characters to have more discussion about their feelings earlier especially about the marriage and it did make some of the sex feel not 100% consensual as it felt like Michael was pressuring her a bit to change her mind through sex

It was good to hear more from Francesca as she has been notably absent throughout the series so far.

Detta är den sjätte Brigerton boken, skriven av Julia Quinn. Det är en fantastisk historisk romans som jag rekommenderar starkt.

Francesca, det sjätte Brigerton syskonet, blir tragiskt änka men efter fyra år bestämmer hon sig för att hitta en ny make. Michael har varit kär i henne sen första gången han såg henne. Problemet var bara att första gången han såg henne var hon på väg att gifta sig med hans kusin. Men nu är hon änka, fast Michael kan inte svika sin kusin eller skulle det vara ett svek?

Som sagt rekommenderar starkt att läsa denna fantastiska bok. Läs böckerna i rätt ordning.

This was by far the best Bridgerton novel of the first 6. It felt different insofar as it wasn’t the usual mature Rake chasing an innocent young girl. It was a mature woman

widow

and man both dealing with grief. That made the entire novel much more nuanced, as it felt that they were on equal footing (this is remarkably absent from many of the previous ones, at least physically and romantically.) The scenes with Violet Bridgerton were my favorite, as they provided a rare, sober look into family life of the usually upbeat novels. This novel doesn’t shy away from hardship or complication. It makes the story feel realer, somehow, like they continued to follow a story after the happily ever after. I loved it.

This was the best Bridgerton book so far which was surprising because I don’t even remember Francesca from the show.
