4.5 stars
I really loved this. The only reason I couldn’t give it 5 stars is because towards the end I realised I wanted a little something more but I don’t know what that was lol. Maybe more of the kids?
It was such an emotional story and my heart is so, so full. I just loved them. All of them.

I was really looking forward to Eloise's storyline in the series. Pity that it was underwhelming.
The book had lots of 'Bridgerton' moments, and I am here all for that. But it felt like every other book in the series. If you had interchanged Eloise with a new character, it wouldn't have made much difference. Perhaps that was what the author was trying to achieve. But I wished there were some more 'Eloise' moments in the book to make it feel like it was her story.

2.7 estrellas. Este libro no fue mi favorito pero tampoco me ha parecido el más aburrido jaja, Eloise siempre es entretenida de leer y definitivamente este libro tiene 2 de mis capítulos favoritos lol pero en cuanto a la historia no se me hizo nada muy wow. Phillip is an okay man con anger issues y falta de responsabilidad aunque te hacen creer que es más detestable de lo que en realidad es y Eloise pues Eloise jajaj. En general le doy 2.7 porque la historia estuvo meh pero en varios capítulos si me entretuvo más que el de Daphne que en mi opinión ha sido el más aburrido.

Sir Phillip irked me to no other. How does Julia Quinn write such selfish pigs and I still gobble this up like it is candy? 👀
I really enjoyed Eloise's story. Penelope, her best friend, just got married and now Eloise is a spinster alone now. So when Sir Phillip, a recent widow, offers to marry her, she leaves town to see if he is someone she would marry. They didn't get on the right foot whatsoever.
Sir Phillip, is looking for a child caregiver more than a wife. You constantly see that throughout the story. It took him quite a while to realize, more like the last 10 pages, to realize that Eloise is more than a caregiver.
I know Eloise and Phillip have been corresponding for a year before they met up. But I wasn't really convinced of their love for one another. The impression I got was that Eloise was a really kind, gentle soul and was the one mending and repairing the relationship constantly. Phillip was always the one brushing his hands on the situation. Then miraculously got a change of heart for his kids and his wife. Took him long enough.
Gratefully this book did end on a good note and I did enjoy this story regardless.

Had some good moments such as the Benophie moments as I LOVE them but overall I can't say I loved it as I didn't warm to Phillip at all
Also I reckon this story will be massively changed once the TV show catches up...
