_evyn_'s review against another edition
4.5
The second epilogue should have had a trigger warning about the very explicit though probably realistic blood and bodily harm to a character I'm sure many readers, like myself, will have grown a significant amount of love and empathy for (which does make the events harder to stomach). I threw up and had to skip ahead enough to not risk seeing any more so I am not exactly sure what I missed but I'm sad that I won't know the whole truth about the ending even if I stayed shaking and faint for awhile after.
Still, I give this book a 4.5 and tip my hat to Julia Quinn for writing a captivating series.

✨My Opinion✨
I finished this book just in time for the Julia Quinn author event in Columbus today!
When there are 8 books in a regency romance series, sometimes plots and tropes get reused. This book was the last in the series and set up entirely different from the rest of the series. The prologue captured my attention right away.
The book features falling for the wrong girl first, blackmail, treason, scandal…
Gregory didn’t have the temper issues his older brothers did. I appreciated that, but where he was decent, Lucy’s uncle made up in misogyny.
I actually really enjoyed Lucy and her make no waves practicality. Her response to everything was so realistic and time period appropriate.
The last half of the book was drama filled and I lived for the messiness.
