I ADORED this book, the characters were incredible, the plot was the strongest one out of all the ones in this series and it left me feeling very happy.

A great end to the series! I will miss these characters and their exploits. I loved Gregory and Lucy. It was a bit of a slow start but once they realized their feelings I couldn’t put it down!

Meh. Not a lot of steam way too much drama. I don't like Gregory. He's a stalker, ties Lucy up in a not sexy way, and believes he can own whatever woman he wants even if they don't want him. There's LGBTQ representation but Gregory is kinda terrible to him. But at least they don't make him the bad guy, progress? It's rushed in the end but so slow the rest of the book. I have mixed feelings about Lucy. She's supposedly close to her family/found family but doesn't know them at all.

Herminoe/her brother, Her father, and Uncle. Both her brother and uncle treat her like shit. It doesn't take much for her to believe her father is a traitor. It's so clear it was really her uncle that she comes off super naive.

She knows she going to marry this one guy but never meets him, writes to him, or tries to learn anything about him till a week before their wedding. All of the men in this treat Lucy and women in general so terribly to make Gregory look like a hero. I hate the epilogues in this one. There's no Whisledown or Lady Danbury. How does it compare to the rest of the books? Not well.

The Epilogues are horrible and the reason for a lot of the tags. You can take off pregnancy, medical trauma, and most of the body horror if you skip that part.

Detta är nog den mest dramatiska delen i Brigerton serien och kanske den bästa. Ett fantastiskt avslut på serien. 

Boken handlar om Gregory, nummer sju av Brigerton syskonen, som blir förälskad i Hermine men känslorna är inte besvarade. Lucy, Hermines vän, tycker att det skulle vara ett bra parti och försöker hjälpa Gregory med Hermine. Men Lucys känslor för Gregory kanske är mer än vänskapliga men hon är (nästan) förlovad med någon annan. 

Jag tycker att hela Brigerton serien har varit väldigt underhållande och denna del levererade ett dramatiskt avslut. Rekommenderar verkligen att läsa Brigerton böckerna, helst i rätt ordning. Julia Quinn har också skrivit åtta epiloger till sina åtta Brigerton böcker om du skulle vara intresserad av att läsa dem. Jag tycker verkligen om Brigerton serien och rekommenderar till alla som vill ha en underhållande historisk romans.
