It was kind of disappointing that the last Bridgerton, Gregory, didn’t really have a personality of his own. He just seemed bland despite this ‘undying belief in true love’. Lucy has a personality, which made listening to the book more enjoyable.

Gregory Bridgerton is ready to settle down and move on to the next phase of his life. All he needs is the girl. Minor detail: the one of his dreams is already attached. Luckily her friend is willing to help him... If she doesn't fall for him herself.
Of all the brothers, Gregory's really only trait seems to be--youngest? Quinn tries to do some work to establish he's fighting a younger brother syndrome where he's always had things fall in his lap and so he's unprepared for life/hasn't had to work for anything. I'm not sure the narrative here redeems this at all. All the biggest complications feel thrown in at the end and are rather quickly tied up.
The synopses I'd seen for this make it seem like the friend (Lucy) plays matchmaker or wing person for Gregory or something, which seemed like a fun concept, but it doesn't really play out like this at all. Gregory and Lucy's chemistry/banter isn't particularly interesting. There is a flurry of over-the-top scenes at the end that are about equal to the melodrama of the Benedict and Sophie book and resolved way too tidily.
I would put this in the bottom tier of the Bridgerton series, for sure.

I downloaded Libby, and so I got a couple of things to read and figured I might as well finish the series out, ya know? No, dude. The books drag the further you go along. This was the worst one. Sorry Gregory

This book surprised me in a good way! I wasn’t expecting much going in, but I ended up enjoying it. It had all the usual Bridgerton charm, witty banter, romantic tension, and some emotional beats, and it was a quick, easy read that held my attention. That said, by this point in the series, the stories are starting to blend together a bit. The formula is very familiar, and it doesn't bring much that feels new. Still, if you’re in the mood for something light, romantic, and reliably entertaining, this one delivers.
