Heather K (dentist in my spare time)'s Reviews > Romancing Mister Bridgerton

Damn you, Colin Bridgerton, for getting my hopes up. You were so great in the other Bridgerton books, and everyone says, Colin! He's the best! that I was expecting this book to be a homerun. But you, my friend, are a spoiled brat. Yeah, I said it.

Okay, that might have been a bit harsh, but I'm sick of romance readers lifting up mediocre men. Penelope Featherington is a catch, and just because Colin *finally* noticed her curves, beautiful eyes, and brains for days, doesn't make him great. It just doesn't. You need be ACT great to BE great.



I'm more than a little peeved about Colin because I was expecting him to be one of the better Bridgertons. I'm not a Bridgerton stan, I'll just say that. In fact, I'm very all over the place with my reviews of this series, with my ratings going from 1 to 5-stars, depending on the book. I've read this series out of order, which doesn't seem to be an issue thus far, and none of the books hold a candle to When He Was Wicked. Now, THAT'S a romance hero. Colin? He's a child.

Colin ranged from acting sort of snobby but acceptable to full-on petulant baby. He had times when I saw some glimmer of what others see in him, but most of the time he pouted when anyone else was doing well. I quickly lost my fascination with him.

Penelope stole the show with this book. She fully carried Romancing Mister Bridgerton, and I was cheering her on every step of the way. I liked everything about her, including how she stood up for herself, even if sometimes it was in a subversive way. I wish she stood up to Colin more, but I just wish *anyone* stood up against Colin. Spoiled, rude baby...
