Having little obsessive–compulsive disorder ticks is just so quirky

This might just be my favorite book in the series. It has a perfect balance of actual dramaticly engaged plot and heart tugging romance. The only Bridgerton book to bring me close to tears. The way Gregory speaks of love touched my heart, even from the jump this is one of the most truly romantic books of the series. It felt like real love. Its amazing to see Quinn's progression in skill as the series goes on. Loved this book so much

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.

One of my favorites of the series! Gregory is a much more likable protagonist than his brothers are (which I feel might have more to do with Julia Quinn's evolution through writing) and there's much less blatant sexism which is nice. There is sexism, of course, but it's primarily from the bad characters. I also loved Lucy (but I do love all of the Bridgerton female love interests). She was an incredibly sweet heroine and one that you just really wanted to root for. Their love really came out in the book, and they became one of my favorite couples in the series. 

Also, the first 75% of the book is set at such a leisurely pace, so the ending is incredibly exciting to read.
