[May 1824, Gloucestershire:] To Sir Phillip, With Love is Julia Quinn's fifth Bridgerton book and one of the only ones (besides for When He Was Wicked) in the series that I had not yet read. It was a complete delight and after being disappointed (sometimes *severely*) in all of the post-Bridgerton books I have read by Quinn, it was great to once again read something by her that was utterly enjoyable and left me with a silly, cheerful smile on my face. All of the Bridgerton brothers show up and m...more

The 5th book in the Bridgerton Series was very enjoyable. I love Quinn's books because her characters make me laugh. I never have a hard time reading through her books... She keeps me interested! A very good read!
Since the marriage of her brother and best friend, Eloise Bridgerton has felt completely alone. She always thought her and Penelope would both remain happily unwed together. Now that Penelope has married, Eloise does not want to stay a spinster forever. She has already turne...more

It all started with a note... To Sir Phillip With Love is my favorite Bridgerton novel up to date. It is the story of Eloise Bridgerton and Phillip Crane. A friendship that bloomed from a simple note into pure love. Eloise wanted the perfect man while Sir Phillip wanted someone to mother his twin children. What they both got neither expected. A must read for all believers in true love.

I've read comments saying the second half of the Bridgerton series was not as good as the first four books but I still wanted to read them. The fifth one turned out to be the weakest of the previous ones I've read. Eloise has been my least favorite and I found I still didn't like her in this book unless she was fighting with her brothers. I didn't find much to like about Philip as well, somewhat of a dull and weak hero. One saving grace would be the Bridgerton brothers. The elder brothers, A, B,...more

The fifth book in Julia Quinn's successful Bridgerton series tells the story of Eloise, 28-year-old spinster and middle child. Eloise has turned down six suitors in her many years on the Marriage Mart with the hopes of falling in love and finding the perfect man. Still, when her best friend and fellow spinster, Penelope Featherington, marries her older brother Colin, she cannot help but feel betrayed. She decides to run away and visit a man with whom she has been conducting correspondence, Sir P...more

Eloise and Sir Phillip. Sir Phillip is a widower with two young children... his wife was Eloise's distant cousin, I believe, so when Eloise (who loves to write letters) hears that she died, she writes Sir Phillip a note expressing her condolences. They start corresponding and the letters go back and forth for a year...

I like The Bridgerton series because you can really feel the love Ms. Quinn has for her characters. However, I admit I'm not a fan of her sex scenes, and the conflicts always feel so contrived (did ANYONE have a good father in the regency period? Geez). Still, good read as long as you don't think about it.

This is my second time reading "To Sir Phillip, with Love" and I loved it as much now as I did the first time. Julia Quinn has an engaging, if uncomplicated style of writing that entertains and keeps the reader going from the beggining until the end. I think she will remain one of my favorite romance authors for a while.
I particularly like Eloise as a character, for she is the type of strong female lead I like to read about. And Sir Phillip is quite a nice male lead, as wel...more

Very cute book, good love story. I've read one other book in the Bridgerton series (the one about Sophie and Benedict) so I really enjoyed this one a lot, given I already knew some of the background. Cute, fast read.

I thought this made for a decently romantic read. I enjoyed the "snippets" of Eloise's letters at the beginning of each chapter and I, like many other readers, thought the "rescue" scene was one of the best. I also enjoyed the way the children were used...their scenes with Eloise and their father were very natural and realistic. However, if anything, I would suggest you read the book for the romantic gesture Sir Phillip made towards Eloise at the ending of the book (hint: let...more

Not as good as the previous books in the series, but still an enjoyable quick read.

Power to the pen! And, watch out for those twins. Most importantly, find happiness.

An enjoyable escape read. I found the flawed, yet engaging, characters fun to watch.

Another enjoyable story of the Bridgerton siblings falling in love. Eloise and Phillip become acquainted through letters and Eloise's impatience with her life leads her to ruination. Phillip wants a mother for his children and she seems to have all the qualities he's looking for. This one is set at the same time as the end of the previous book so I kept waiting for the brothers to arrive.

This is the first Julia Quinn book that has gotten less that four stars from me! I would say it is a 3.5, but hmm.. just didn't feel it this time.
If this is the first Quinn book you have read, you need to pick up her others because they are FANTASTIC!!!

I kind of thought this one was an old-timey version of Internet dating romcoms like You've Got Mail. Can you take a chance on someone you only know through letters? Will it work out when you meet in person? There was also a blended family element, but that was full of cliches that reminded me of the Sound of Music. So, not my favorite, but not bad either.
