For whatever reason, Bridgertons 8.5 and 8.6 are not showing up on Goodreads so I am counting them here as two separate date entires.
Check out my thoughts on this book and more at The Brunette Librarian Blog
Quite simply put, The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After is a love letter to Julia Quinn fans. A collection of short epilogues that go along superbly with the Bridgerton series, this collection of novellas made me so very very happy. Its hard to say that each one was my favorite, but as I continued to read I couldn't seem to decide as they each got better and better.
I have read the Bridgerton series many years ago, so to be honest, I don’t know if this book would appeal to those who haven’t. That said, I absolutely loved this collection and immediately fell head over heels into the world of the Bridgerton’s once again. The novel follows the progression of the books and bounces to different eras and characters of the series.
Each short story is fun and can range from hilarious to heartbreaking to just plain lovely. My favorite Bridgerton books are the first few and I enjoyed seeing Anthony, Benedict, Colin, and Daphne since we don’t see them too terribly much in the later books. Anthony and Kate are entrenched in another game with the mallet of death that was pretty hilarious and coincidentally, I immediately went to buy The Viscount Who Loved Me for my Nook. I loved the epilogue where Eloise and Penelope finally talk about the revealing of Lady Whistledown, I’ve been waiting for THAT for what seems like forever.
Heartbreaking and bittersweet, we finally see into the world of Violet, the Bridgerton’s mother. The story starts out with Violet trying to get back at that terrible Bridgerton boy for pouring flour all over her. When next we see Violet, she is again meeting Edmund Bridgerton but in a ballroom. He is charming, adorable, and we the reader immediately fall in love ourselves. Even knowing Edmund is going to ultimately pass on, I still shed tears and my heart cracked as Violet lost her one true love.
Easily my favorite book of the year to date, I loved being swept back into the family Bridgerton. I think I might just reread the series and I think I will enjoy it now just as much as I did back then. Thank you ever so much Ms. Quinn, and Brava!

Le voy a dar 5 estrellas por una sola razón:
La historia de Violet Bridgerton.
(También la de Fran, porque es mi favorita de los hermanos y luego le sigue Hyacinth)

Curiosamente los que más me gustaron fueron de los libros que más me gustaron, pero en general siento que no puedo determinar si vale la pena o no, me parece que más que epílogos son historias cortas, pero tampoco te van a cambiar la vida. Están ok, supongo. Si eres muy fan de la saga, probablemente te sumen.
Only reviewing Violet's story.
This was not the story I expected for Violet. A life being content and happy to see all of your children make splendid love matches and 33 grandkids to boot is nothing to balk at.. but Violet, after YEARS of being alone, she deserved another chance at love, too! If all her kids could find that, I would have thought she would have too, it's a romance series after all. If any of the Bridgerton siblings had a "just content" ending, the series wouldn't be as popular as it is.
Disappointed in this novella.

I “read” the second epilogues as they were included in each of the audiobook versions of the stories.
I was really hoping for more of Violet and Edmund’s story. Their love has been portrayed as so constant and true I would have loved to see how that played out.

funny
lighthearted
fast-paced
This was a quick, delightful read. I have read Book 1-6, so I had already read those epilogues. It was lovely to reread though and remember my favorite bits. I skipped Gregory and Hyacinth’s epilogues because I still have the books on hold at the library and didn’t want to totally spoil anything.
I loved Violet’s novella though — she is one of my favorite characters! I do wish that we had gotten to see a late-in-life love story, because Violet deserves all of the things! However, this novella was still sweet. Several vignettes of Violet and Edmund encountering each other as children (I guess that’s where Eloise learned about flour ghosting lol), reconnecting at a ball in their late teens, and then marriage, and Edmund’s untimely death from a bee sting (poor sweet bb Eloise

Y con este último acabo la saga. Que viaje más divertido ha sido conocer y ver crecer a esta familia. Definitivamente un gran cierre para la historia
