Though there are some disagreeable parts, overall I love this. I love the personality of our heroine, I like Simon, the brothers (most of the time), and can't wait to read the rest of the series and see where the other Bridgertons go. I vastly prefer older historic romances to the newer ones....more

I love it when these books start off with a holiday or party. This one is about a very interesting family and is set in a castle and with all the family and pregnancy drama that our main character is involved in this is easily my favorite of the series so far. I love the family that is centered in this story and I hope to see them in future books....more

Because she tries to fit in and doesn't have some weird plan to uproot all of society. This is a clear retelling of Pride and Prejudice and Bridget Jones' Diary....more

I don't usually read false sequels but this one was too tempting to resist. As someone who always considers herself as more of a Mary than any other Bennet sister, I am so happy that this was written. I never felt Jane Austen gave Mary any story of her own in Pride & Prejudice and that she looked Mary over more than any other sister. I found this novel to be written beautifully and not so far off from Austen's own writing. The thoughts of Mary are very interesting to read and definitely more melancholy than Elizabeth's in P&P (I definitely teared up a few times while reading this).
Hadlow gives us insights into the other Bennet sisters and the parents that I found nice to see. She highlights different characteristics of the P&P characters and shows us more of character we didn't see much of before. Unfortunately, Kitty still didn't get as much of a story in this; she isn't talked of much in here, unlike the other sisters. I would like a story like this but about Kitty....more
