Reviews with content warning for Pregnancy - On The Way To The Wedding

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.

Gregorys och Lucys epilog fortsätter där boken slutade. Epilogen rör en dramatisk förlossning, en stor kärleksfull familj och ett par som älskar varandra. Jag tycker verkligen att man ska läsa epilogerna om man läst Brigerton serien.

I rather enjoyed the first half of the book but then it went slightly off the rails. Looking back, it seems so disjointed with too many elements jostled together: falling in love at first sight with the wrong person, a rushed-to-avoid-scandal wedding, blackmail, a repellent father-in-law-to-be, sneaking around without being caught (servants are not that nonexistent/unobservant, right?), an annulment, and more.

I'm glad I read this series, despite its questionable and problematic elements (including far too many overbearing men throughout), and I'm also glad to be done.
