This must be the most introspective courtship with most of it occurring within their own minds as Eloise and Phillip trying to understand each other, themselves, and marriage while trying to get close to the children. She’s certainly old enough to know better. Just because her own family is used to her, doesn’t mean the rest of the world is ready for her. I do like that Eloise is thrown by Phillip’s reaction to her arrival. She can take it and she can dish it out as well, LOL. So they’re lucky that the indomitable Eloise appears in their lives and takes charge. Their reaction to their mother’s death is…so depressing, and their father’s reaction to it all is, well, typical for the time. No, Quinn simply hasn’t thought this one through.Īlthough it is a good thing for those poor kids. It’s one thing to be a comfortable woman almost on the shelf for this time period, but to run off without a maid? It’s not like the family can’t afford one. Quinn doesn’t even provide a reasonable scenario to explain why Eloise thinks she can behave so outlandishly. I have no idea what she could have been thinking to take off like this. It’s certainly an original premise with Eloise flitting off on her own. The couple focus is on Eloise Bridgerton and Sir Phillip. Other books by this author which I have reviewed include The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After, Romancing Mister Bridgertonįifth in the Bridgerton Family historical romance series set in post-Regency England. Historical romance in Paperback edition that was published by Avon Publications on Augand has 372 pages.
This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. the rest of the world simply fell away, and she couldn’t help but wonder. Her perfect husband wouldn’t be so moody and ill-mannered, and while Phillip was certainly handsome, he was a large brute of a man, rough and rugged, and totally unlike the London gentlemen vying for her hand.
and before she knew it, she was in a hired carriage in the middle of the night, on her way to meet the man she hoped might be her perfect match. and more.ĭid he think she was mad? Eloise Bridgerton couldn’t marry a man she had never met! But then she started thinking. The beautiful woman on his doorstep was anything but quiet, and when she stopped talking long enough to close her mouth, all he wanted to do was kiss her. Sir Phillip knew that Eloise Bridgerton was a spinster, and so he’d proposed, figuring that she’d be homely and unassuming, and more than a little desperate for an offer of marriage. From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the story of Eloise Bridgerton, in the fifth of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix.
