Penelope Featherington has secretly adored her best friend's brother for... well, it feels like forever. After half a lifetime of watching Colin Bridgerton from afar, she thinks she knows everything about him, until she stumbles across his deepest secret... and fears she doesn't know him at all.

Colin Bridgerton is tired of being thought nothing but an empty-headed charmer, tired of everyone's preoccupation with the notorious gossip columnist Lady Whistledown, who can't seem to publish an edition without mentioning him in the first paragraph.

But when Colin returns to London from a trip aboard, he discovers nothing in his life is quite the same, especially Penelope Featherington, the girl haunting his dreams!

And when he discovers that Penelope has secrets of her own, this elusive bachelor must decide... is she his biggest threat, or his promise of a happy ending?

Kit★ (xkittyxlzt) | 1416 comments I remember really liking this one when I read it. I even named a Sim I had Penelope Featherington lol. :)
I kinda like the middle bottom cover. And the top left cover and stepback.

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments I like that middle bottom one, too, Kit★. I like her dress and the couple's pose. I have the top left one, though.

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments I like the bottom middle one. My copy has the top right. In fact, I managed to get the whole series with the drawn covers :)

Leah (horsenducks) I can't wait to read this one, so I'm definitely in! Especially after what happened between these two in the last book...

I just bought the book on Ebay. LOL. I'm saving so much money buying used - but I should have bought the whole Bridgerton series at once. I didn't know I would like it so much!

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments I found my book. I've moved my "Q" box from the garage to the guest bedroom now. LOL! I just haven't started yet. I'm behind because of the holiday... still haven't caught up.


Dawn (Kat N Hat) (katnhat) | 506 comments I will lurk this month, I read this last month. I couldn't wait last month after the porch scene where Colin yells he will never marry Penelope.

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Good Gravy Beans, CaroB! Sorry, I have it out and ready to read... but I didn't finish my other book, not my review I need to do. I've been dealing with NBRC Tower Teams Reading Challenge issues.

Hopefully, I can crack this one at bedtime.

I need my sickies for when the kids are sick Shosho, I did it to myself so I just sucked it up. I ended up having a nap after dinner. I wouldn't say my last hour at work was productive though, luckily no-one seemed to notice.

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments I only read the prologue last night. Worked on the NBRC Tower Teams Challenge all day, so didn't get my other book finished, either.

So... I'll have another go at it tonight. Forgot how really fun it is.

Glad you got a little nap, CaroB!

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments I'm starting ch 4 or 5 today. I think Penelope has some spunk - she's just got it hidden. I loved that she told Lady Danbury she thinks she's Whistledown. And I was so sad that she wouldn't dance in the park with Collin cause people would think they're courting.


message 39: by Susan (susayq ~), Moderator (new) - rated it 5 stars

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments I'm loving the friendship Collin and Penelope are forming. :) I also love that we're getting out of school early due to bad weather. I'll be able to finish this today lol

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments Starting ch 9 and I'm dying! Michael Ansthruther-Wetherby was just mentioned by Lady Whistledown!!

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments Just finished ch 10. I can not believe (view spoiler) is Whistledown!!

Yes, JQ thanks LK & SL at the beginning of the book for the use of her characters. Super neat.

That's good! I thought they were adorable together too.

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments Who is it from LK that's in here? I either didn't recognize the name or haven't gotten there yet lol


message 47: by Susan (susayq ~), Moderator (new) - rated it 5 stars

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 6062 comments And I didn't mention it before, but I was shocked that Francesca had been married already. Totally threw me for a loop.


message 48: by ShoSho , Moderator (new) - rated it 5 stars

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments who is Francesca ? From Cynster books?
I didn't know that JQ is using some of LK and SL characters . who else she has used?


message 49: by Lina (new) - rated it 4 stars

Lina | 5563 comments No, Franscesca was the F in the bridgerton siblings

She and the G (can't remember his name) weren't really a part of this book. Just mentioned in periphery.
