Miscommunication is annoying. No clear consent. I didn't like Michael's anger and how he forced Franny. There is no commentary on the colonialism or racism in the book, it just supports it.

The 6th book in the Bridgerton series I've read. I enjoyed this one, and it is one of my favourites that I've read so far.  A quick and easy read. The story is of Francesca, who loves her husband, John. He dies unexpectedly, and she mourns him. She loses her child but desperately wants a child, so she decides to remarry. Michael is Johns cousin and has been in love with Francesca since he's known her. Micharl is known as a rake, and his womanising is legendary, but he is best friends with both John and Francesca and hides his feelings for her by telling his wicked conquest stories. A regency set historical novel with a healthy dose of smut thrown in.

I enjoyed Francesca’s story. I wish we had gotten more of her & Johns relationship at the beginning. But I do love her & Michael & them being best friends, makes me really happy to read about. I liked watching their internal struggles dealing with their feelings for eachother in the wake of John’s death too, very realistic. 
The only part I didn’t really like was the whole "seduction" plot Michael started when he got to Scotland. It seemed so out of character. He spent the first half of the book fighting his feelings for Francesca & how he couldn’t be with her cause it "disrespected" John. I agree with them getting married making sense & him proposing & trying to convince her, but when the convincing became seduction, it just felt wrong, & it just surprised me coming from Michael who deeply respected Francesca, but that didn’t feel like respect at all.

Je me suis enfin décidé à continuer la chronique des Bridgerton, le tome de Francesca remonte celui d’Eloise. Ont à une romance douce, belle et triste, un roman qui parle de deuil et d’avancée, qui parle de seconde chance.

Francesca à toujours était la plus calme et silencieuse de la famille, elle et John forme un couple parfait mais la tragédie frappe laissant notre Francesca dévaster. Micheal le cousin de John est un homme à femme, un playboy mais qui à toujours aimé Francesca. On suit l’évolution de leurs relations après la mort de John, Michael s'éloigne et Francesca est toute seule.

 C’est un roman qui montre que la personne qu'on cherche à toujours était là, je me suis très rapidement attaché au personnages et à l’histoire. Colin était très présent dans ce tome, il n'arrêtait pas de pousser Michael dans la bonne direction, par contre j’ai eu du mal avec Hyacinth toute ses remarques sur Francesca et Michael ne m'a pas plus.

Sa reste une romance historique avec un sujet assez dur et une romance type seconde chance.
