This is a re-read/listen. Wonderful again. I fell in love with this series about ten years ago and have read and reread them many times over the years... I adore them all. And now with the new Netflix production up and running there is more interest and more pictures of the characters. Lord Anthony Bridgerton (as per the Netflix casting and production of BOOK 1, "The Duke and I")Miss Katherine Sheffield (as per my casting)Netflix have not even confirmed that they are going to continue with the s...
Pure, unadulterated entertainment! I can tell I am going to love this series. The author has a talent for writing amusing dialogue and her characters are all so very charming. One very interesting thing about this particular story was that Ms Quinn did not stoop to stereotypes. The stepmother was not wicked but was much loved and her daughter and step daughter also got along together really well. It was a nice touch. The Bridgerton family are marvellous, always bickering and teasing each other b...
Read for the URR New Year 2018 Reading Challenge: Animal Lovers' Romance. (Well. Okay, not really. But there's a fat corgi, Newton, and he's by far the best thing this book has to offer).Do you remember that scene in Fight Club where Edward Norton tells us how much fun Brad Pitt has inserting porn into cartoon movie reels? I think something like this is happening with Julia Quinn's Bridgertons series. You think you're reading a charmingly sweet, witty and sexy historical romance; then all of a s...
It’s annoying when a book starts out great and then leaves you feeling lukewarm by the end of it.I loved how this started. The introduction to the characters were great. Julia Quinn writes some of the best and most wittiest lines. Her dialogue are always on par and the chemistry between the hero and the heroine is always palpable. At first. But then they got together and my interest in their relationship started to wane. Probably because we didn’t get many moments where they lived their happily-...
3.5 StarsShort and quick, I liked The Viscount Who Loved Me okay, but I wasn't much impressed with Anthony. I didn't like that he was going to sleep with his ex mistress, just to get Kate out of his mind. It left a sour taste in my mouth. I liked Kate and I liked her family, Anthony just wasn't the greatest heroes.
where was the anthony pulling himself out of the water scene??
3.75 stars 🐝What can I say other than I adore Kanthony. I didn’t enjoy this as much as the show but I’ll chalk to up to being because I watched the show first. I felt like the show showed more of an enemies to lovers than the book.I was in love with Anthony’s inner thoughts. He was lusting after Kate so hard it was making me swoonAnthony knew he had to be insane.There could be no other explanation. He’d meant to scare her, terrify her, make her understand that she could never hope to meddle in h...
3.75 stars ✩⋆update after watching s2: kanthony gave me the biggest blue balls and gave me the worst (or best?) edging i've ever experienced in my entire life but netflix... bestie... what are y'all doing with this love triangle and edwina bs pls i can't handle this (overall thoughts about season 2 will be at the end of this review but i wanna talk about the book first)* * * don't mind me. just reading this after suffering through the anthony + siena scenes in the show.after watching episode 1 i...
netflix ate this upa marriage of inconvenience? not wanting to fall in love with the woman you're already married to? a terribly insecure older sister? mayhaps i am throwing tomatoes at the unoriginality. i read this book back in 2020 and thought it was fine. nothing to write home about. and then i needed to read it for a video this year, after having watched the netflix season. and lemme tell you, the netflix version was much much much more interesting.a truly forbidden romance with mutual pini...
Leave it to Julia Quinn to make you fall in love in a few chapters! I've come to realize, ladies and gentlemen, that Julia Quinn's novels are an oasis for both my mind and my soul. She takes you by the hand, and with her magical writing she opens a portal to another era, to a world of etiquette and courting and balls and lavish gowns, where the devastatingly handsome sworn batchelors end up falling in love with the smart girls, the ones who are not admired for their dazzling beauty, but can chal...
