Sir Richard Kenworthy is an idiotic arsehole. Justice for Iris! 

I did like the intrigue of the secret and kept me really interested but once it was revealed there was nowhere NEAR enough grovel.

Kind of infuriating, majorly full of tension, and I loved every second! For some reason I'm enjoying these spinoff books wayyy more than the stories from the original Bridgerton series. I guess after the show the characters aren't as fun when you know them. All these spinoff characters are mysterious, and super messy.I eat up every second of drama.  I'm glad it wasn't revealed what Richard was hiding until the moment Iris finds out  because I had literally no idea and was so shocked. He is really despicable honestly and poor Iris was so overlooked at home she didn't deserve to just be another pawn in someone else's game.

Den sista boken i Smythe-Smith-kvartetten serien och den här gången följer vi Richard och Iris. 

Iris hamnar ofta lite i bakgrunden på tillställningar men efter den årliga konserten börjar Sir Richard uppvakta henne. Detta gör att Iris anar att något inte står rätt till och hon blir än mer misstänksam efter ett hastigt frieri från Richard. 

Richard är i akut behov av en brud och efter den årliga Smythe-Smith-kvartettens uppträdande inser han att Iris kanske är allt han behöver. 

Oerhört underhållande bok och måste läsning för alla Julia Quinn fans. Rekommenderar starkt.
