Description

A New York Times Bestseller

The inspiration for season three of BRIDGERTON, a series created by Shondaland for Netflix, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn: the story of Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington in the fourth of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family.

COLIN AND PENELOPE’S STORY

Penelope Featherington has secretly adored her best friend’s brother for . . . well, it feels like forever. After half a lifetime of watching Colin Bridgerton from afar, she thinks she knows everything about him, until she stumbles across his deepest secret . . . and fears she doesn’t know him at all.

Colin Bridgerton is tired of being thought of as nothing but an empty-headed charmer, tired of the notorious gossip columnist Lady Whistledown, who can’t seem to publish an edition without mentioning him. But when Colin returns to London from a trip abroad, he discovers nothing in his life is quite the same—especially Penelope Featherington! The girl who was always simply there is suddenly the girl haunting his dreams. When he discovers that Penelope has secrets of her own, this elusive bachelor must decide . . . is she his biggest threat— or his promise of a happy ending?

    But I must say that this is my favorite story. I love the sarcastic wit of Penelope and her verbal parries with Colin and the way they brought out the best in each other. If new to the series, don’t pass this one up, this said by a SFF/mystery fan who NEVER used to read romances until this series popped up and I was captivated by the cover art. PS I suspected all along who Lady Whistledown was.

    This made me laugh and cry at the same time. Peneople and Colin are a great couple and remind me of Monica and Chandler from Friends.

    I enjoyed the witty banter and sarcasm in the beginning but once the big reveal happens in the middle Colin’s attitude and behavior takes a turn for the worst. You could even call has behavior abusive. Extremely disturbing. I couldn’t enjoy the romance and love scenes after that. Had to put it down.

    All I can think about is when I can find some time to read Colin and Penelope’s story again. So heartwarming and at times heartbreaking, I don’t think I have read a story like this in a long while and I can’t wait to read it again!!

    Great rom-com and love how the Bridgerton family stories continue to unfold. Can’t wait for the Netflix series to start to see how close it will be to the book! The best part is that having seen the 2 previous episodes I don’t need to imagine how they all look like and get disappointed when the series starts bc I can actually visualize them as I read the book. Love these characters and the books! I’m hooked on Julia Quinn!!!
