Gregory is hit by love and he totally embraces it. He may not have been expecting it right at that moment, but it's what he wants in his life. I loved the interaction between Gregory and Lucy as he tries to win Hermione's affections. But at the same time I wanted to shout at him-- Helloooo look beneath the surface. I feel that Ms. Quinn's focus is the love story and the relationship between the 2 main characters. Because of that I felt the circumstances behind Lucy's marriage to Lord Haselby wer...more

(#8 (and final) in the Bridgerton Series)
You know, I can see how some people wouldn't much like Gregory's book, but I did. I LOVED his determination. Because as the author, we know exactly what's happening with the heroine, because we get it from her perspective, so we know exactly what Gregory DOESN'T know. And he could have given up. He REALLY could have. And I about DIED near the end... I was shocked--I didn't expect what happened to happen, you know? But it all turns out ri...more

Okay, I liked this one. I really, really liked this one. It reminded me why I like to read cheesy romance novels so much. It was funny, and engaging, and the two main characters are sympathetic, and honest, and none of the situations seem too contrived. Really fun. I'd highly recommend it.

On the Way to the Wedding was such a delightful read. The perfect ending to the Bridgerton Series!
Gregory Bridgerton knew that when he met the perfect woman they’d fall madly in love and live happily ever after. Unfortunately for him, that perfect women Heromine Watson had no interest in him whatsoever. But that didn’t stop Gregory from befriending Lucy, Heromine’s best friend, and trying to find ways to win Heromine over. In the end, Heromine gets caught in a scandal and ends...more

In the final book of Julia Quinn's Bridgerton series, the time has come for youngest son Gregory to choose a wife. Gregory has always been a believer in true love, especially after witnessing his seven siblings all marry for love. So at 26 Gregory decides that he won't just settle for marriage, but he'll wait until he falls in love. Which he does... in a heartbeat with a beautiful girl named Hermione Watson. The only problem is that Hermione is already in love, and that every other eligible gent...more

My friend Alex offered me this book, the final in the Bridgerton series. Thanks, Alex! I have really enjoyed the series, this one included. Though it took awhile for me to get into this one. I enjoyed the intelligent, subversively sassy heroine, but the hero was kind of a self-absorbed idiot for a large portion of the story. Fortunately, he redeems himself. And quite the turnaround it was. It brought tears to my eyes (I'm such a sentimental sap). Ah, happily ever after...

The last of the Bridgerton series, and not my favorite. It was an enjoyable read with fun dialog, but I can't say that the suspense of the story held together throughout--seemed like it took a long time before things got going. This book also didn't have the same level of wry commentary at the beginning of each chapter. Definitely a fun read, though.

Typical romance set in Regency England. But it has 2 very graphic sex scenes in it that shocked me. It seems I can't get away from either foul language or graphic sex. Yikes!

I read this one on a plane and I remember the lady sitting next to me remarking on how much she enjoyed the series too! The epilogue is my favorite part- such a perfect ending.

Sweet and funny, but heart-wrenching, too. I loved it, and I actually laughed out loud and cried a lot. So glad when I find a book that will make me do both!

I liked and cared about this story a lot more than #6 and #7. I am just a soft heart for romance and figuring out what is real and what isn't.

OK, starting with Book 8 in a series is a little off-putting. But I wanted some lightweight (both physically and mentally) candy to haul around to medical appointments and read on the exercycle. BTW, hardcovers are too slippery and heavy for that! This quasi-Regency romance was ok, though there was next-to-no descriptions of clothing or social occasions, which is almost necessary for me. Plus the style was overly breathless:

Uneasy.

It's a bad sign when neither lead in a romance captures the reader's imagination. I skimmed--a lot.

It's a light, easy read, but such a good one. I have a really soft spot for Julia Quinn.

Very likeable hero and heroine, although the first chapter ending was a wicked teaser!

What a lovely series!! What is it about the Bridgerton family?? They are so loveable, so endearing!! So entertaining as well.
If you read the first installment of the Bridgerton Series, you just got to read the rest of the series. The characters are warm and lovely. Admitted it's just a delightful & light read, but it soooo enjoyable!
