Gregory Bridgerton is the second youngest of eight siblings and the last of the Bridgerton offspring to remain single. Having seen all of his siblings settle into loving marriages, he is certainly a believer in true love. He just hasn’t met the right woman yet. He’s quite convinced he’ll know once he finally meets the one. Only, when Gregory finally falls in love with a woman, the charming and stunning Miss Hermione Watson, she’s already in love with another man. Her father’s secretary, to be […]
Revolutionary era romance
So starting in 2013 I began my re-discovery of the romance genre. First with the master, Ms. Kleypas, but then continued further and Ms. Quinn was an early one. I overall quite enjoyed her Bridgerton series (and recently just discovered the second epilogues) so when I saw that she was starting a new series spun off of my beloved Bridgertons I had to get it from the library. This is the story of Billie (Sybilla) Bridgerton, aunt of all the previous series, and George, neighbor […]
The Bridgertons: Part Infinity
As many of my reviews begin this way, it’s a bit repetitive, but honestly thank you yet again fellow CBRs for letting me know this book even existed. I read the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn a few years ago thanks to recommendations on here (this was before I participated and just quietly lurked). I highly enjoyed them, so when I found out that Ms. Quinn had written second epilogues to all of her stories I immediately put on hold for some wonderful, light fun. […]
The Absent Bridgerton
The sixth book in the Bridgertons series brings us to the elusive Francesca. She’s rarely, if ever, mentioned in the other Bridgerton novels, except in passing generally explaining why she isn’t around (too young, too married, too widowed, too far away in Scotland). I’ll admit that I was concerned going into a book with a character we had so little invested in, but the last time I had that worry we got the great Benedict and Sophie in my second favorite Bridgerton book, An Offer […]
Don’t give me a novella and call it a novel
This is a Julia Quinn Book. If you have read more than one of her books you know exactly what I mean. Julia Quinn has a brand of romance that is nearly uniformly; light, sweet, full of banter (some of the best in the business), recurring characters, and close-knit families. Julia Quinn is synonymous with ‘comfort read’ in my world. There is nothing wrong with this, and many things right with it. I would say this book falls squarely in the middle of the pack […]
A Return to Bridgerton Territory
I know that many of us here have read Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series, with the loves and lives of all of the large family. Now she has returned to familiar territory with a prequel. This one is focused on Sybilla, better known as Billie, older sister to Edmund, who was the father of the clan and victim of early death due to bee sting. The book starts off with Billie stranded on a roof after climbing a tree to save a cat. Her ankle is […]
