At this point in the Bridgerton series, i’m starting to think that despite all the surrounding drama, the stories are the exact same.
Virginal girl meets reformed rake with some small temper issues, he does something foolish right when she realizes she could love him, they kiss and make up. rinse and repeat ad nauseam.
Hyacinth is clever and charming, Gareth is suave and sometimes condescending, and Lady Danbury as always stole the show. Julia Quinn does this thing with her men where they are just deplorable for no reason?? Why on earth does Gareth think he has to compromise her to keep her in the marriage instead of communicating like they’ve done the rest of the book? we may never know lmao
