I think this is up there with the Colin and Penelope story as being my favourite. I quite liked the development and the relationship between Michael and Francesca. I didn't want to skip the pages or skim over parts like previous books. The wholesome ending was lovely too!

HATE this book. The “relationship” the book is centered around is basically manipulation, coercion, and glorified rape.

Es un cuatro sólido. La historia de Michael y Francesca es espectacular: es diferente a las demás, incluso si el elemento de la viudez estuvo en el libro anterior. Su química es muy buena. La personalidad de Francesca está muy bien planteada, y se hace destacar. 

Odié profundamente un detalle particular, y es la cantidad de chistes sobre violación que hace Michael. No me sorprende considerando los antecedentes de Quinn, pero el hecho de que se hubiera tomado el tiempo de marcarlo como un hombre que sabe lo que es el consentimiento para luego hacer esas bromas (sobretodo en relación a la libertad sexual entre él y Frannie) se me hizo pesadísima. No son muchas, pero definitivamente le bajan una estrella al libro.

A fun sexy regency romp, with some light forbidden love vibes. Loved the characters, and enjoyed the different set up, with Francesca being a widow. This book had the best steamy scenes in the series so far, enabled by the fact that she is not an untouched virgin. At the same time, explores some themes around grief, which gave the characters some degree of dimension.
 
There is some attempt at highlighting consent, though I won't say that Micheal doesn't engage in some slightly iffy behavior around pregnancy to convince Francesca. 

Still, one of my favorites Bridgeton books so far.

I really enjoyed the 6th installation in the Bridgerton series, I appreciated how much Francesca was at a war with herself over remarrying and her feelings towards Michael and how much depth there is towards her character. Also probably the best 🌶🌶🌶 in the series (so far). I know a lot of people aren’t a fan of pregnancy tropes and tropes surrounding having children but I think it was really well done seeing Francesca’s yearning to have children and struggling to conceive, especially around a family with so many children. 
However I wish we got a bit more discussion between Michael and Francesca about Johns passing, as it was such a traumatic event for the both of them although we never seen them actively talks about it together which is a shame, I think it would have put the book up to four stars if we did.
