I really enjoyed this.
I love a marriage of convenience and Edward is a brilliant man.
I really enjoyed that he was also inexperienced in aspects of marriage (not common for all the other books).
I didn’t enjoy the subplots with the cats - didn’t really find those parts endearing.
I enjoyed the slight feminism edge to it all and the love he had for her.

I'm really sorry but this review thoroughly spoils what teeny-weeny bit of plot this book contains.
I was surprised to look down at my kindle progress and see that I was 68% of the way finished with the book, as at that point, NOTHING had happened yet in the book. Imagine my surprise that at 100% finished, still nothing had happened. This book had no plot. None. Zero. Georgie's reputation has taken a hit because she was briefly kidnapped by an enterprising suitor. Nicholas's father calls him home from Medical School to rectify the situation by marrying poor ruined Georgie himself. Surely, you say, this will lead to Plot Things! No. It doesn't. Around 60% of the way through the book, they're married. They then embark on a carriage ride from hell. Then, Georgie pouts because her husband has school to attend, and so she's BORED. And then the book is over.
This is the lowest score I've given a Julia Quinn novel, and it hurt my heart to do so, but, like, damn. This felt like a book that was written because she had two extra characters laying around, rather than a book that was written with any sort of passion or enjoyment.

I was disappointed with this book, the first three of the series have been so good they really exceeded my expectations but this one was just lacking. That being said there were elements that I really liked, for a start this is the only book in the entire Bridgerton/Rokesby world where BOTH of the main characters are inexperienced. It’s refreshing to not have the typical deflowering scene that is soooooooooo overdone in Julia Quinn’s books. I was getting a bit cringe at them tbh so this was a nice change and took away that power dynamic.
But overall I kinda plodded through it, there wasn’t any big plot points and I could see the outcome coming from very early on. Nice characters, interesting new locations… Okay but not exciting.
