Having re-read this and having read some other regency romance books, my opinions have changed. While I still enjoyed the book, I was annoyed with the characters. Phillip was an idiot and Eloise needed to think her plans through more. There were plenty of cute family moments.

Eloise was one of my characters from the previous books and I was excited to get to her story. 

Following the engagement between Penelope and Colin, Eloise was feeling adrift. Throughout writing letters to her distant cousin's widow, he suggested marriage and Eloise pushed the letter aside before deciding to visit. Upon meeting Sir Phillip, she was surprised to learn he had two children. 

I loved this book! The romance between Eloise and Phillip had me happy and I loved the dynamics between Eloise and the twins.

This is probably one of my least favorite Bridgerton books so far. I was really happy it still had the same humor that made me laugh out loud, but I just couldn’t get passed my mixed feeling towards Phillip throughout almost the entire book. I love Eloise but somehow I don’t feel this book showcased her character as vibrantly as I thought it should. Nevertheless, still really enjoyed this book. This series never disappoints for a good time.

Ah, yikes. The discussion of suicide, but most /especially/ the second epilogue, was...cringey at best. Phillip’s entire character had great potential, but his treatment of his children and inability to listen to /any/ feedback or have /any/ productive discussion, was an extreme turnoff. Yeah, sure, he had a lightbulb moment and changed his attitude, but that happened way too late and wayyy too quickly for the book to be any sort of enjoyable or even tolerable. Poor Eloise.
