Bridgerton 6: When He Was Wicked - Julia Quinn.
My Rating: 4/5.
Book 6 from the series, surprisingly, turns out to be amazing to read, with all the typical twists and turns of Julia Quinn’s love stories so far. This one is based on the 6th Bridgerton kid and the 3rd daughter, who hasn’t made a detailed entry in the book series, and the only bits and pieces we know of her were that she gets widowed quite soon after her marriage. This one is the detailed account of her story and the second marriage, which was predictable, even with whom it was easy to guess, but what takes the cake is how it all happens. The initial one-sided love triangle was too good and kind if given away at the very start for the reader in me to wish, predict, and slightly later actually pray to make it work, but all that doesn't go that easily as it sounds here and was totally gripping, exciting and lovely to read. But I must say that as the series is progressing, Ms Quinn has started losing the steam for sure, or maybe I wasn’t able to like the character of Francesca that much as I loved her other earlier siblings with their stories. Frannie has the quirks of Eloise, her elder sister, and a few similarities with her eldest sister Daphne, too, and that is where it was hard for me to differentiate her from them; nonetheless, a beautiful love story at the end of the day. Now I am curious to know how the Author is going to do justice to the last two siblings in the upcoming two books.
Undoubtedly, this is the longest that I have hung on to a book series and still looking forward to reading the rest, hope they work for me though. Do let me know if you have a personal favourite, Julia Quinn, too.
