I enjoyed this one, but found Gregory lacking any particular personality until he was properly in love. He's easily the least problematic of the Bridgerton boys, in my opinion (sorry Colin?). I loved Lucy's little idiosyncrasies, and the family drama, if vague, was a fun mystery as well. Lucy came across a little waif-ish at times (especially after developing feelings for Gregory) but ultimately I loved her. 

Also! A side character is confirmed to be queer! I thought that was a nice addition. I'd read novels about them. The side characters really make this novel - not Richard and Hermione, perhaps, but Hyacinth is always a joy to crop up in this series. The "antagonists" were... Interesting. I might have liked more detail in their dealings.

Moderate: Sexual content, Blood, and Pregnancy

Minor: Confinement, Cursing, and Death of parent

Re: confinement

Gregory ties Lucy to a water closet to stall the consummation of her wedding to another man. It kind of makes sense in context, but also seemed unnecessary.

Some spoilers below relate to the second epilogue

Lucy nearly dies of blood loss after the birth of her 8th and 9th children.

A great end to the series! I will miss these characters and their exploits. I loved Gregory and Lucy. It was a bit of a slow start but once they realized their feelings I couldn’t put it down!
