After watching all of his siblings find true love, Gregory Bridgerton has high expectations for marriage. He will not marry unless he finds someone who makes his breath catch in his chest and butterflies explode in his stomach. If he can’t live or breathe without his potential wife, she’s not the one! The problem? The woman of his dreams has absolutely no interest in him and he is determined to create his chance with her. Now he’s teaming up with the best friend of his future wife in an attempt to make his dreams happen.
I have to admit that I was not feeling this book for a bit. It wasn’t bad, but Gregory was lackluster and downright infuriating at times. I know that “boys will be boys” is a huge saying, but if you’re told no or not to do something, listen. Because of this, it was rather irritating to watch Gregory try to make Hermione Watson give him the time of day when she was clearly not interested. If anything, she was making excuses to get away from him!
Bless Lucinda, aka Lucy, Abernathy’s heart, who was trying to create a love match between Hermione and Gregory. She really thought it’d be a good match. I loved following Lucy and seeing her growth as the book went on. I really felt bad for her from the start. The poor woman was living in the shadow of her best friend, who always had men falling in love with her appearance at first sight! Lucy took it in stride and I did enjoy watching her find love for herself, though purely by accident!
The issues I had with Gregory aside, I did ultimately enjoy the book. Once we started spending more and more time with Lucy, and when Gregory stopped being a complete clown, it was rather enjoyable! And lord almighty, the entire end was wild! It may be the final book in the series, but still went out with a bang.
