I really enjoyed this one. Either my second or third favorite of the series.

Something just the perfect amount of heartwarming in this one. I don’t know. It was the perfect book for me in this moment :)

I thought that book 7 of the series was ok, the prologue was good but chapters 1 -9 you can speed read and not miss a thing. I felt like the majority of chapters 1 - 9 was just there to be there and was not necessary. I am debating on whether or not to read book 8 the finale book of the series. Books 1 -6 of the series were good, I really enjoyed those.

I'm a great fan of Julia Quinn's Bridgerton stories, but for me this wasn't the best. Unlike the other stories I've read, I failed to gain any attachment to the characters; they didn't make me laugh or cry or want to know what was going to happen next. It was an ok read, but not one that I will return to.

This was my fourth Bridgerton novel, and I can say it was my favorite.
The chemistry between Hyacinth and Gareth is definitely a highlight - They have good banter with one another, and I think they have both rather relatable personalities. If you‘re looking for a book in this genre , definitely worth your time.
One minor thing that bothered me regarded the mystery, which I will put in spoiler-tags.I personally think the mystery of the jewels is not all that engaging, which I think is due to the way it‘s utilized. It serves a good purpose of starting the story - but after that the importance fizzles out. As a reader, I found it heard to care for the jewels as it‘s a mystery the reader does not get to engage themselves in - clues are always just exposited. Similarly with the mystery of Gareth‘s father which dominates the second half: Pretty much: His father is not hinted at for most of the story, until one chapter before the reveal. I think that was a missed opportunity.
