The 8th book in the Bridgerton series and concentrating on the sibling Gregory. It's a hard book to review without giving away the story, but the blurb does a bit, so I'll just summarise that. Gregory falls for Hermione, who loves another unsuitable man, but her closest friend Lucy helps him to win her over. Simples or is it? Gregory then figures out she is not for him, and he, in fact, has fallen for Lucy only for her to be engaged to another man. The epilogue is bizarre, but Quinn is a mastermind of the historical romance. The TV adaption(s) and books should be considered very separately, and it is wonderful that each sibling has a book of their own. A very enjoyable Bridgerton book.
