The Other Miss Bridgerton by Julia Quinn

4.0

Well, this is a very silly book. It has a kidnapping by some pirates-who-are-actually-not-pirates, a number of highly unlikely coincidences to set up its plot, and a number of medium unlikely coincidences to ensure everything works out in the end. It also takes place at a significant geographic and social remove from the British high society that animates most of the Bridgerton story.

But it's a Julia Quinn novel. If you're an author who can spin gold from tripe, why not do it every so often?

And it works. The principal characters are well-developed and the plot is entertaining, and the romance is satisfying. I don't think I would enjoy a pirate romance by any other author, but this one was pretty good.
