“If you want to know if a gentleman loves you, her mother said, there is only one true way to be sure. It’s in his kiss, her mother whispered. It’s all there, in his kiss.”


OH MY GOD THIS BOOK EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS I HAD FOR HYACINTH’S STORY. I ALSO THINK IT’S MY FAVOURITE BOOK IN THIS SERIES, WHICH I DIDN’T EXPECT AT ALL! ALSO HOW ON EARTH DID I READ THIS SO FAST??

What an amazing book! I had obviously been waiting for Hyacinth’s story for a while, and she did not disappoint one bit. She was headstrong, unafraid of getting what she wanted, and just an amazing character all around! Finally reading about her was so entertaining and made suffering through so many female characters who would never speak their minds worth it because she made up for it a hundred times over.

“I’m impressed,” Hyacinth said, peering back out the window.
“You’re impressed by strange things,” he said, brushing himself off.
“Anyone can bring flowers,” she said with a shrug.
“Are you saying all a man needs to do to win your heart is scale a building?”
She looked back out the window. “Well, he’d have to do a bit more than this. Two stories, at the very least.”


Gareth! I didn’t have many expectations for his character since I obviously had no idea who he was before this book, but he was such a great character! He was the perfect balance of reserved and outspoken, and seeing him work towards placing his love for Hyacinth before his hatred for his father was fantastic.

Gareth turned to Gregory. “Your sister will be safe with me,” he said. “I give you my vow.”
“Oh, I have no worries on that score,” Gregory said with a bland smile. “The real question is—will you be safe with her?”


I really really enjoyed the plot of this book. (I feel like I have to mention that because I hated the plot of some of the other Bridgerton books.) I loved how Hyacinth and Gareth an actual goal to accomplish rather than the only plot line of the book being their relationship like some other books in this series! I also adored how much we got to see of Ms. Danbury and Lady Bridgerton.

Also, can I just say, I think this book made me laugh more than any other book in the series! Hyacinth was hilarious, and her and Gareth’s banter was just so funny.

ALSO, IF YOU READ THIS BOOK BUT NOT THE 2ND EPILOGUE, READ IT! IT WAS AMAZING!
