This one. This book, oh wow. This has to be one of the best Bridgerton books in the series that I have read so far. If you are reading the books in order like me you'll know that Francesca is not mentioned very often in the other books leading up to this one, giving her a sense of mystery. I understood Frannie, and could see where she was coming from which made me feel connected to her and the story. All I can say is this book had me feeling so many things at once (the intimate scenes especially if I can say that >///<). While the second epilogue made me swoon, with how endearing it was. 

My negatives are the reoccurring themes, scenarios and character traits from previous Bridgerton books. It seems to be a common issue with this series but I can't really blame Julia Quinn, it's hard to be original sometimes! However I can say this one stood out to me as being much different than the previous five, especially when it comes to Francesca as an overall character. Michael was literally a mix of Anthony and Colin with the ability to realize that they are in love.

In conclusion I like this one!

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.

 I was interested enough to finish in a day so it was enjoyable enough however the characters felt flat compared to the other Bridgerton characters. Particularly Francesca which feels odd to say given all the character goes through. Maybe it’s because she’s rarely mentioned in the other Bridgerton in the books? The other characters have more prominent mentions than Francesca. Hell, even in the show Francesca only appears in one episode near the end, seemingly out of blue.

Then again this is Michael’s first appearance and he seems a little more fleshed out by comparison. It probably didn’t help I was frustrated by Francesca running away multiple times. Oh well, going with a 3 because it was fun entertainment on a snowy afternoon but I doubt I’ll be re-reading this book of the series.
