GREGORY’S STORY
Unlike most men of his acquaintance, Gregory Bridgerton believes in true love. And he is convinced that when he finds the woman of his dreams, he will know in an instant that she is the one. And that is exactly what happened. Except ...
She wasn’t the one. In fact, the ravishing Miss Hermione Watson is in love with another. But her best friend, the ever-practical Lady Lucinda Abernathy, wants to save Hermione from a disastrous alliance, so she offers to help Gregory win her over. But in the process, Lucy falls in love. With Gregory! Except ...
Lucy is engaged. And her uncle is not inclined to let her back out of the betrothal, even once Gregory comes to his senses and realizes that it is Lucy, with her sharp wit and sunny smile, who makes his heart sing. And now, on the way to the wedding, Gregory must risk everything to ensure that when it comes time to kiss the bride, he is the only man standing at the altar …
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A young man who’s desperate to fall in love may finally get his wish in this swoon-worthy read from Julia Quinn. Gregory Bridgerton is dead-set on marrying for love. So when he meets the beautiful Hermione Watson, he more or less decides right then that she’s the one…even though Hermione’s totally not interested, and he actually has better chemistry with her BFF, Lucy Abernathy. The romantic game of musical chairs that follows is a sweet, yearning delight. We loved watching Gregory and Lucy slowly develop the warmth of trust, friendship, and yes, budding romance, all while she’s supposed to be helping him win over Hermione. Between the two friends sorting out their feelings and Gregory finding a way to intercede in Lucy’s arranged marriage, the suspense of the story’s climax had our hearts near bursting. If you’re new to the Bridgerton series, you won’t regret starting it here.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In her spirited, witty, inimitable style, Quinn (It's in His Kiss) wraps up her Regency era Bridgerton series with a tale that takes to task the notion of love at first sight. Gregory Bridgerton's six siblings have all fallen prey to love, so he figures he need only sit back and wait for "the one" to waltz into his life. Then he meets Hermione Watson. The "breathtakingly perfect curve of her neck" convinces Gregory that she's destined to be his, but Hermione's practical, plainspoken friend Lucy Abernathy throws cold water on his aspirations when she informs him that Hermione's heart belongs to another. Quinn's final Bridgerton romance brings the series to a gratifying close. Although some readers will wish that it contained more of the sibling camaraderie that has propelled the series so ably and less repetitive description of the protagonists' flaws this tale is as frothy and festive as a glass of bubbly, and more than worthy of a toast.

On the way to the wedding
Quinn has a wonderful way of putting together words. I found myself reading obscure passages to my husband, and he agreed she is a consummate wordsmith. And the story is a fun read; highly recommended.
