My Review:
The way this was written, I was prepared for a 'bad' unexpected ending. However I loved the twist that made this a Happily Ever After Ending! Gregory's up front acceptance that love matches exist and his search for just that is something different then the usual hero's views and opinions on love an marriage. I love how everyone seemed to be in love with the wrong person except of course the heroine, Lucy. Lucy always says sorry and smooths things over for everyone else even at her own expense. She isn't however one of those annoying simpering ladies that let people walk all over her. She seems to have spirit and speaks her mind when she's nothing thing to curb her tongue. Lucy's best friend Hermione is a beauty and every man 'falls in love' with her and Gregory is no exception. When Hermione becomes engaged unexpectedly and scandalously to Lucy's brother, Gregory realizes he wasn't in love with her. Lucy and Gregory's romance is subtle and sweet, nothing hot or heavy in this book! Lucy's dedication to her family name is almost the end to their romance but Gregory being a Bridgerton, doesn't give up and fixes her 'problem'. I loved the epilogue and it made me chuckle. I'm sad to see the series end and of course want more, maybe a spin off of some sorts?! One can home! Good read either way and if you've read the others in the series, you can't stop with out reading this last installment!
