Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Definitely not her best.
I was thrilled when I spotted her new book on the bookshelf, but I was less then thrilled when I began to read it. The very first part of the book was alright, but then it fell into a slump until her brother Anthony came into the picture. However, once he left, it was an incredibly boring read. I was disappointed in this latest Bridgerton book, especially after reading Romancing Mr. Bridgerton, Colin's story. This is actually the first book by Julia Quinn that I did not enjoy. She's a wonderfully humorous, witty writer but she failed there too with this book. I thought Phillip was too involved in his own pity party to really like him. And Eloise was just a bit too perfect, a bit too controlling. I didn't care at all for their first real love scene when they consummated their marriage. It was over in a couple paragraphs and I could have done without the references as to how he took care of himself all those years. But Quinn is a wonderful author. I just hope she's not losing her magic.
Rating: - Moving tale, not as funny as the other Bridgerton tales
Eloise Bridgerton and Sir Philip Crane have been corresponding for over a year. Sir Philip asks Eloise to come for a visit to see if they will suit each other enough to marry. Eloise agrees to this but does not tell her family, nor does she write Sir Philip to say when she will be arriving. Thus the first encounter is less than encouraging. He is expecting a homely spinster, which Eloise certainly is not. She is expecting someone much more charming and affable.Eloise is a great heroine. She has an irrepressible spirit and speaks her mind frequently. Sir Philip is less likable as a hero, but Quinn does a great job of explaining why Philip acts inappropriately. Since much of the story is from Philip's point of view, instead of seeing him as a jerk, the reader will feel compassion for this awkward and somewhat shy man. I truly loved Philip, he was uncertain and insecure, and easily made happy. I just didn't know why Eloise would love him. While this is certainly a love story, the main focus is the relationship between Philip and his children. Philip is a distant father because of his fear of becoming like his own father. His awkwardness with his children is heartbreaking, frustrating, and endearing at the same time. However, due to the focus with Philip coming to terms with dealing with his own childhood, as well as dealing with the death of his wife, this story is sweet and amusing, but not hysterically funny, as the rest of the Bridgerton series has been. There is one great scene halfway through the book when Eloise's brothers arrive that is laugh out loud funny, but it is too short by far. Still a worthy buy, but different from her usual books.
Rating:  - Charming!
This is a delightful romp with a romantic spark. Julia does it again. Eloise is a spunky heroine with a quirky personality who meets Sir Phillip, the brooding hero, through a correspondence that starts when she writes him upon the death of his wife. They correspond for a year and he proposes to her via the post. She runs away from her family to see if she and Sir Phillip are compatible and it goes on from there. This is a delighful read and a very romantic and poignant story. Eloise proves to be both insightful and strong as a heroine. I am just about done with the book so this review is a bit premature but I love it nonetheless. A good buy! I am a big fan of Julia Quinn and recommend reading the rest of the series.....The Duke and I, The Viscount Who Loves Me, An Offer from A Gentleman and Romancing Mr. Bridgerton. She never fails to amuse and enthrall.
