Reviews with content warning for Blood - When He Was Wicked

I really enjoyed this book, the characters were likable, although, like the rest of Julia Quinn’s books I’ve read so far, the male character specially has some red flags, I feel like Michael is one of the men with fewer unhealthy behaviors towards women.

Also, I really really really like Francesca, of course she has flaws, but I appreciate her.

This one. This book, oh wow. This has to be one of the best Bridgerton books in the series that I have read so far. If you are reading the books in order like me you'll know that Francesca is not mentioned very often in the other books leading up to this one, giving her a sense of mystery. I understood Frannie, and could see where she was coming from which made me feel connected to her and the story. All I can say is this book had me feeling so many things at once (the intimate scenes especially if I can say that >///<). While the second epilogue made me swoon, with how endearing it was.

My negatives are the reoccurring themes, scenarios and character traits from previous Bridgerton books. It seems to be a common issue with this series but I can't really blame Julia Quinn, it's hard to be original sometimes! However I can say this one stood out to me as being much different than the previous five, especially when it comes to Francesca as an overall character. Michael was literally a mix of Anthony and Colin with the ability to realize that they are in love.

In conclusion I like this one!

Detta är den sjätte Brigerton boken, skriven av Julia Quinn. Det är en fantastisk historisk romans som jag rekommenderar starkt.

Francesca, det sjätte Brigerton syskonet, blir tragiskt änka men efter fyra år bestämmer hon sig för att hitta en ny make. Michael har varit kär i henne sen första gången han såg henne. Problemet var bara att första gången han såg henne var hon på väg att gifta sig med hans kusin. Men nu är hon änka, fast Michael kan inte svika sin kusin eller skulle det vara ett svek?

Som sagt rekommenderar starkt att läsa denna fantastiska bok. Läs böckerna i rätt ordning.
