I really enjoyed the 6th installation in the Bridgerton series, I appreciated how much Francesca was at a war with herself over remarrying and her feelings towards Michael and how much depth there is towards her character. Also probably the best 🌶🌶🌶 in the series (so far). I know a lot of people aren’t a fan of pregnancy tropes and tropes surrounding having children but I think it was really well done seeing Francesca’s yearning to have children and struggling to conceive, especially around a family with so many children. 
However I wish we got a bit more discussion between Michael and Francesca about Johns passing, as it was such a traumatic event for the both of them although we never seen them actively talks about it together which is a shame, I think it would have put the book up to four stars if we did.
