I wish I could have loved this as much as I hoped I would, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t like it! I’ve never seen Bridgerton before but I do like a regency romance. It was entertaining, funny, lighthearted and wholesome and I had a good time reading it. 

However, the characters didn’t feel strong enough for me, I wanted them to be more solid and for us to get to know them more. I also thought it was a bit formulaic, and their attraction to each other was mostly physical, which is fine, but not what I’m looking for in a romance. 

I really liked the way it ended, though, so I’m probably going to read book two.
