Title: Romancing Mister Bridgerton
Author: Julia Quinn
Review:
All that being said here are my thoughts:
I cannot tell you how much I hated this book. I have no words. Over the last five years I have only read a single book that I hated more than this one for entirely different reasons.
“And that was when he realized that Daphne had been right. His love hadn't been a thunderbolt from the sky. It had started with a smile, a word, a teasing glance. Every second he had spent in her presence it had grown, until he'd reached this moment, and he suddenly knew. He loved her.”

I have enjoyed the snippets of Colin throughout the books (and show). He's been funny, charming, and sweet. However, in his own book, he was quite angry (or jealous conveyed as anger) most of the time, and usually, it was directed at Pen. Seriously, what is with the MMC getting so irrationally angry and GLAD they are terrifying the FMC in each of these books???
Anyway, I enjoyed reading Pen's pov, and it was interesting to see how certain things were resolved. I'm curious/anxious how the show will handle it since they've gone a different route, which I'm not completely mad about since our Bridgerton boys are not nearly as angry in Shondaland.
