annmaries 's review for:
The Other Miss Bridgerton
by Julia Quinn
What I enjoyed most about this story was how much the male lead appreciated the female lead's curiosity, sense of humor, and witty repartée. Which may be self-serving, since those are all things I value about myself. But for a book about forced proximity, and considering the genre, there's actually relatively very little of the elaborate, I-can't-keep-my-eyes/hands/thoughts-off-the-other-person's-body descriptions and more we're-falling-in-love-by-talking, and I'm a sucker for that.
Yes, the inciting incident is pretty contrived, but that's a hazard of the genre, and honestly, it was plausible enough for being entirely implausible by nature.
There are a few, fairly short, (actually not-very) explicit scenes at the very end of the book (nothing on the ship) that aren't important to the plot and can be easily skipped, if that's not your jam.
All in all, a fun, light read to while away a winter afternoon with a cold.
