Okay Colin I see you. You’re still slightly a bore and too sweet for your own good but I see you. This was probably my least favorite love story out of them so far but still so good.

And Penelope is a GEM. that is all.

This was everything it was hyped up to be and more!
So glad I pushed forward with this series after being disappointed with An Offer from a Gentleman.
Colin and Penelope are the sweetest couple. Colin was his charming self and the reader got to see a mature bad ass Penelope. Don’t get me wrong, Colin has his Bridgerton male pigheaded moment but it’s honestly not a big issue and he learns from his mistake. (Unlike Anthony & Benedict!!) I loved that Colin and Penelope communicated! What a relief!
And these two had fireworks, I was not expecting that!
The writing was lovely as usual.
Can’t wait to see what Eloise’s tale holds.

I couldn’t finish the Netflix show but I had to read the book to know how the plot actually goes.

I think Colin and Penelope might be my favorite Bridgerton couple. From friendship to romance. I love it all, although the change of feelings that Colin had for Penelope was kinda abrupt, I am so happy Penelope finally has a happy ending and was able to marry to her life of the love. ❤️

My favorite has to be when Colin discovered Penelope is Lady Whistledown (gosh I wish the show can follow this rather than spoiling that so early in the season). He went from anger due to jealousy to slowly accepting and proud of Penelope which eventually he announced to the “ton” (despite Penelope’s opposition

Relistened to after watching the first part of the new season. It is amazing how some scenes of the show come directly from the text of the book and how much of the story is revised for TV. Love

The reviews of this book had me thinking Colin was going to somehow be worse than his two older brothers (who were absolutely terrible in their books), but… he was actually fine here? If I had to critique anything, I’d say this book was kind of boring, but I prefer slight boredom over actively hating every character/situation in the book. Honestly more of a 3.5/5 but bumped to a 4 because of Penelope

I was so disappointed with this one. Penelope cannot see through Colins glaring red flags. Hes rude and gets mad at her because she figured out what she loved in life. They legit had a fight about how he has no purpose. Get over your self you rich entitled boy. maybe if you didnt runaway to travel everytime life got hard you wouldnt be such a bitch.

IDK. i thought i would like this one a lot...but i didnt at all. Also the trailer for this season of the show has NOTHING to do with this book....maybe thats for the best.

La chronique va me manquer, puisqu'elle apportait un petit quelque chose de très plaisant à la série. Mais bon, on est curieux de la suite des aventures des Bridgerton quoi qu'il arrive !

Je suis contente pour Penelope, mais je trouve que Colin se comporte mal avec elle. Il la contraint de bien des façons à de multiples occasions et ça me gêne. Elle a du courage et en même temps elle est un peu niaise quand il s'agit de lui.

J'ai apprécié également la prise de risque de l'auteur de faire un bond de presque 10 ans en avant. Du coup je me demande comment va s'organiser la suite.

Un petit regret, je trouve la fin expédiée sur plein de petits détails. Le mariage et ses préparatifs, les conséquences de la déclaration finale de Colin, etc.
