Reviews with content warning for Grief - El corazón de una Bridgerton

October 2023-⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.

The streak continues and we’re going 3 for 3 on the bridgerton books read in as many days! .

There are sone aspects of this novel that I truly loved. Francesca is a wonderful main character and I do love a jealous (fictional) man and reformed scoundrel, however, it didn’t quite make it up there with “an offer from a gentleman” and “romancing Mr. Bridgerton”.

(mind spoilers ahead)

Michel changing his mind after the 2nd conversation with Colin felt a bit too sudden and I didn’t love how the topic of John wanting what was best for the two people he loved most in life only came up towards the end. The whole baby trapping plotline also felt a bit icky… you know?

That being said, I did love the discourse around grief, and Francesca’s conversations with her mother on what it feels like to lose the person you love were truly beautiful. I also like the way I fertility was tackled and how other people never made Francesca feel ashamed for not being able to become pregnant. I know a lot of readers don’t like pregnancy plot lines but I’m not one of them, and I did really appreciate this one a lot.

Anyways, all this being said: this was still fun as all of the other bridgerton books, just maybe not in my top 3.

On to the next sibling!

first of all, this is prob the spiciest bridgerton book i have read so far. the latter like 40% of the book is just smattered with 🌶️

i have rly mixed feelings about the overall plot of the book because of all the “will they, won’t they” energy. luckily though, the “he fell first but she fell harder” trope kept my attention.

in this book there were also a lot of time jumps and spoilers for some of the other siblings love stories; particularly colin and eloise.

the ending of this book was really sweet and i enjoyed it. the second epilogue was also a wonderful extra sprinkle of sweetness.

the bridgerton series has been and still is the perfect bit of romance to satisfy my needs. the historical settings of them make them a little more unique than contemporary romance novels and i will keep lovin them :-)
