After reading the four Bridgerton books prior to this one, I can say I was really disappointed with this one. The first thing I can point out is how short the book is and that the story felt very rushed with little time given to have the two characters actually get to know each other.

We barely get to see any of these twos letters even though we learn they have been corresponding for a whole year.

And the parts that were meant to showcase their growing connection seem so detached. The book follows the same "You are compromised, we mush preserve your reputation so you have to marry" which is getting annoying at this point. And there is always that reoccurring theme of a disagreement between the two leads followed by some sexual activity which does not sit well with me. These books are getting really repetitive which I cannot say is a bad thing as most romance novels are in fact the same, I just wish there were more of some things and less of others.

With everything bad out of the way, time to get to the things I liked, Oliver and Amanda were such refreshing characters who warmed my heart and the second epilogue was good too.

fast-paced

3.0

I really didn’t like the romance in this book, nor did I like the love interest Sir Phillip, the only reason I’m giving this book 3 stars is because of the rest of the Bridgertons made a brief appearance, also, I really liked Oliver and Amanda
