#Review for: Romancing Mister Bridgerton (Bridgertons #4) by Julia Quinn

AMAZON

ABOUT THIS BOOK:

On the sixth of April, in the year 1812 - precisely two days before her sixteenth birthday - Penelope Featherington fell in love. But Colin Bridgerton certainly didn't fall in love with her in 1812 (and not in 1813, 1814, 1815, or - oh blast, not in all the years 1816-1822, either, and certainly not in 1823, when he was out of the country the whole time, anyway). 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 everyone's preoccupation with the notorious gossip columnist Lady Whistledown, who can't seem to publish an edition without mentioning him in the first paragraph. 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 haunting his dreams. But 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?

RAITING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

REVIEW: If you haven't come across it yet, here's a heads-up: consider the Bridgerton books as distant relatives of the show. While the general ideas are somewhat similar, many details, including how the plot points unfold, are completely different. This was a bit frustrating for me, especially since I watched the show before reading the books. However, I'm glad I'm finishing the rest soon, well before the next season airs... that being said...

I absolutely adored this book. I thoroughly enjoyed the dynamic between Penelope and Colin (doing my best to forget the show exists here...) and how he was almost blindsided by his feelings. The way their relationship developed, especially with the revelation of Penelope being Lady Whistledown, drew me right into the heart of the story. Watching them grow from being two individuals, who were, by society's standards, quite set in their ways, to becoming a united pair, was truly heartwarming.

I'm excited to dive into the story of the next sibling soon.
