4.5 STARS!

It’s over! It’s really over!

I have fallen in love with each of the Bridgerton books and I am saddened to know that this is the end. This series has become one of my favourites and has tide me over those reading slumps. I know I can count on Julia Quinn and the Bridgertons to help me out when the books I’ve been reading have been less than stellar.

With Julia, it’s always a guaranteed good read. In ON THE WAY TO THE WEDDING, we learn more about the youngest Bridgerton brother, Gregory. 4.5 STARS!

It’s over! It’s really over!

I have fallen in love with each of the Bridgerton books and I am saddened to know that this is the end. This series has become one of my favourites and has tide me over those reading slumps. I know I can count on Julia Quinn and the Bridgertons to help me out when the books I’ve been reading have been less than stellar.

With Julia, it’s always a guaranteed good read. In ON THE WAY TO THE WEDDING, we learn more about the youngest Bridgerton brother, Gregory. I really enjoyed his presence in the previous books so to read his story was a lot of fun. Gregory is a romantic. He believes in everlasting love and even in love at first sight. So when he sees a woman who steals the breath from his lungs, Gregory just knows that this woman will be his wife.

Unfortunately for Lucy Abernathy, Gregory falls for Hermione Watson, her best friend. The odd thing about it is that Lucy is all right with that. Hermione has always been the diamond in the room, often ogled and pined for. And Lucy has always been...well, Lucy.

But despite the attention that the ton gives her, Hermione already has her heart set on someone. And so the story goes...

Gregory pines for Hermione who pines for her father’s secretary while poor Lucy starts developing feelings for Gregory and does whatever she can to help him win Hermione over. Despite her growing feelings for Gregory, Lucy puts honor before her own happiness.

As she is engaged to be married since her birth, Lucy battles between doing the right thing and following her heart. But who said that doing the right thing didn’t involve her own happiness?
I have to admire Quinn’s writing in this book. She does a great job of making this story come full circle. It starts with Gregory’s POV in the beginning and then Lucy’s POV of a particularly pivotal scene towards the end and I think it was perfect in “tying the knot” so to speak.

The ending really picked up in its pace and made this book really easy to devour. I couldn’t stop myself from flipping those pages until it was done.

All in all, this series will go down as one of my favourites of all-time. Now I’ll need to find a replacement go-to- author when those reading slumps catch up with me.

Review Amended: After I thought about it, I decided to amend my initial review because I did end up enjoying the last few chapters of this book. This is my first book by Julia Quinn and I was excited to read. The synopsis of this book sounded as if it would be a juicy read...NOT...at least not until the last few chapters! I also wanted to read it because of the many fans Julia Quinn has and I felt I may be missing out. For the first half of the book, I was slightly annoyed by Gregory's pining fo ...more

The way this was written, I was prepared for a 'bad' unexpected ending. However I loved the twist that made this a Happily Ever After Ending! Gregory's up front acceptance that love matches exist and his search for just that is something different then the usual hero's views and opinions on love an marriage. I love how everyone seemed to be in love with the wrong person except of course the heroine, Lucy. Lucy always says sorry and smooths things over for everyone else even at her own expense. S ...more

The worst thing about this book is that it's the end of the Bridgertons, and the only good thing about that is that I get to move on to other novels by Quinn without feeling like I'm betraying the family. ...more
