Thia is probably the best Bridgerton I have read so far. It had consistent characterisation and managed to convey the grief and distress the main characters feel quite well. The sex scenes also were more varied than in the previous books. Still i would say the romance was the weakest part and Michael's behaviour at times upsetting. Also Julia Quinn sets up that Francesca wants a baby as her primary motivation and then doesn't even think to tell the reader if she ever gets one until the later-added second epilogue.
Colin Bridgerton is briefly in this book and bizarrely perceptive compared to Romancing Mr Bridgerton.

floatingcoward's review against another edition
Sorry, no. The depiction of India. "Females". And the weirdly coercive sex scene. No.

my favourite of the series so far, but this being a JQ book, that doesn’t mean much.
Content Warnings
Minor: Racism and Sexism
the cism’s are really in JQ’s writing, and apparently integral to her writing. F&M were themselves a cute couple, but difficult to read when coupled w/ JQ’s constant bs. yet another blonde and blue hero - finally discovering his soon to be wife is not actually as ‘ugly’ as he’d originally thought
