"When He Was Wicked" by Julia Quinn is a captivating historical romance that seamlessly blends passion and wit. Quinn's writing style and character development shine, making it a delightful addition to the Bridgerton series. The emotional depth and unexpected twists keep readers engaged, making it a must-read for fans of Regency-era romance.

I really loved Francesca's story. She's so quiet and reserved but so strong for what she goes through. I think this is joint first with Eloise's book for my favourite... so far. I know this is Francesca and Michael's story but I was still very surprised how quickly John died.

This was probably the most boring Bridgerton book of them all but I think I like Michael the most out of all of the men in this series… at least on paper

This was a lot better than Eloise’s shambles of a story. I liked that the book made certain to emphasise that Francesca already had a love story, and although this was the typical earth-shattering-she-came-after-he-flicked-her-nipple nonsense I liked that she kept referring back to her first love.

Hyacinth is next. I really can’t be arsed at this point but I’ve started now haven’t I.
