I liked this book, but I didn't love it. The previous Bridgerton books spoke more to me than this one did. Don't get me wrong: it wasn't bad at all, but it was just not completely what I expected. Eloise is one of my favourite Bridgerton siblings, so my expectations were a lot higher. I loved the beginning of the book, but I found it a bit boring after a while. The end made up for it in some way, but it wasn't enough for me.
Also: the s*x-scenes were so unrealistic, reading this as woman. Women don't 'explode', as described by Quinn, as easy or at all in the way the couple made love. I would have loved a more realistic representation.

It was entertaining enough for me to finish it.
Phillip is insufferable in many of the scenes.
Eloise is neurodivergent, imo.
The kids are some of the best parts of the book and we barely got scenes with them.
Look for Trigger warnings ⚠️

Denna handlar om Eloise, det femte syskonet, och Philip som förlorat sin hustru och behöver en förändring i sitt liv. Eloise och Philip har skickat brev till varandra under en tid när Philip ger Eloise ett förslag. När andra event påverkar Eloise liv, så tar hon ett oväntat beslut som varken Philip eller hennes familj vet om.
En historisk romans att älska även om den på vissa ställen varit sorglig. Rekommenderar verkligen att läsa denna bok men läs Brigerton böckerna i ordning.
