Considering I read the first book of this series I kinda knew what I was getting myself into, I’m convinced the prequel series just is not as good as Bridgerton. 

Honestly I loved Edward though, suchhh a cutie gentleman true lover boy. Def a little delulu but he’s just a pookie that’s why 😂. 

Cecilia also was pissing me tf off when she wasn’t married to him, like babes went back and forth sooooo muchhhhh like babesssss. I wish she told him sooner so we could see more of an authentic relationship between them but it is what it is. 

Also, there was a point in the beginning that Julia Quinn is basically describing how Cecilia is in this “new world” and it’s so different from where she’s from, especially through seeing more people of different races being with everyone else and idk I found that part a little weird and unnecessary… like… girl all of that was not needed. I understand being historically accurate but idk I really don’t see how this added to that.

Dare I say, this book is even better than the first! I really enjoyed this read! 

This was a good one. I enjoyed this one quite a bit.

So happy to have another Bridgeton series!!

fun concept, although it was definitely creepy the whole time. like in my opinion if edward had had all the facts he would have withdrawn his consent to sleep with cecilia, so it feels like his consent was violated.

Diverting.

3.5 stars. I enjoyed reading most of it, but I agree with some other review that the lying and dishonesty got to me.
