On the Way to the Wedding

Mystery, romance, humor and an excellent understanding of the human nature. I really enjoyed. Lucy and Gregory are a favorite couple.

Although I enjoy watching Bridgerton on Netflix, I have been enjoying the books even more! I really can’t get enough.

Not the best of bridgerton stories but still a great ending and sad to end the bridgerton series at all , as this is the last one I had to read. I had read hyacinths story before this one and this was sadly the last one. Sad to leave the Bridgerton world but very pleased with the series as a whole !

Each book in the Bridgestone series I read I think this one is my favorite, then I read the next book and love it just as much if not more. I’ve bought and read them all.

Another great read from Julia Quinn!!! Can't wait for the next one. She is one of my favorite authors. Every moment is a thrill.

Brief Summary: Gregory Bridgerton is the last of the Bridgerton siblings to get married. Having seen his 7 siblings fall madly in love, he is a romantic at heart who definitely believes in true love. When he sees Hermione, he knows without a doubt that he has fallen in love-at-first-sight. However, he's baffled when she doesn't feel the same way and even imagines herself to be in love with someone else. Her friend Lucinda offers to help Gregory woo Hermione, but instead she falls in love with him. Hermione ends up marrying someone else, and Gregory realizes it doesn't bother him as much as it should, which leads him to the realization that he never loved her in the first place. A conversation or two later with Lucinda ("Lucy," as he calls her), and Gregory is now madly in love with Lucinda. But we are to believe it isn't flighty and frivolous like his infatuation with Hermione. No, it is true love...deep, gut-wrenching, eternal love. However, Lucy is engaged to be married. The papers are signed, and although her heart belongs to Gregory, duty calls her to marry another man. If she refuses, her brother and best friend face certain ruin. Whom will she choose?The Good: Julia Quinn is an exceptional author, and for this reason, even a book with such a weak plot as this one deserves at least 2.5 stars. A lesser writer could not have pulled it off. Although I knew right away how it would end, there were unpredictable moments that truly shocked me. Every book should contain a few surprises, and this one certainly does. Some of Quinn's heroines behave in a manner which is utterly inconsistent with the times, but I felt Lucy's behavior was characteristic with an earl's daughter. She's also unlike most other heroines. She isn't bold, daring, outspoken, and mysterious. She believes in order, loyalty, and duty above all else. I found her to be a realistic character.The Bad: Gregory falls in love twice...once with Hermione, and finally with Lucy. He believes in this lightning bolt recognition of true love which is absurd. (He fell in love with the back of Hermione's head, for crying out loud.) It was hard to take him seriously when he behaved like a lovesick pup after one glance at her. The main story here should have been the love story between Gregory and Lucy, however too much time was spent on his infatuation with Hermione and then his and Lucy's separation from each other. Quite simply, Gregory and Lucy were not together enough for their romance to really come alive on the page. You don't experience them falling in love, and that is what I love best about a romance. They rarely speak to one another (except about Hermione), and they just aren't given enough time for a real relationship to develop. One of the things I love best about her other books is the witty dialogue between the hero and heroine. It's missing from this book. There's no spark, no chemistry. They are lacking passion as well. (Yes, there is one steamy scene, but you wonder how they got there. There's no build up.) At the end, Lucy misleads Gregory. It was unforgivable and selfish for a character who is selflessly marrying a man she's not interested in to save her family.The Verdict: I would rate this book a solid 3 star rating. It's just OK. Having read 9 other works by Julia Quinn, I was tempted to give it only 2 stars, because I know she's capable of much more. If you're a fan of the Bridgertons, you'll most likely find yourself a bit disappointed that Ms. Quinn did not give the family the send-off they deserve.

You must read this entire series I have never read these types of books, but I must say I fell in love. You will not want to stop reading!!!!! I read all 8 books which is about each child and the stories are Amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I think I prefer Quinn's works when hijinks are afoot. There's a levity that comes from the absurdity of it all, and it's much much preferable to the melodrama for me.Gregory has not a braincell in his pretty little head, and I can respect that! Lucinda thinks quite enough for both of them, and I trust her decision making skills far more than his. The first half of this book drags a little, a lot of "will they? won't they? he's got eyes for someone else!", the same as the rest of the books in the series.But then, many interesting things happen in rapid succession, and it's fun! I was actively engaged in the ending of this book, and I did actually like both Gregory and Lucy (and Hermoine and Haselby, for that matter). This may have been my favorite book of the series, I'm still deciding on that front.

Well written

unexpected

No puedes parar de leer como en las demás historias de la saga

I loved Gregory's story. Another great Bridgerton book, slightly disappointed there are no more Bridgerton children to read about now.

Het fijne van dit boek is dat ze makkelijk te lezen is en beter is dan de serie. Hou je van romantische romans, familie series en humor dan is dit een boek voor jou.
