Romancing Mr Bridgerton
Romancing Mr Bridgerton: Number 4 in series | Julia Quinn
133 posts | 238 read | 4 reading | 26 to read
On the sixth of April, in the year 1812 - precisely two days before her sixteenth birthday - Penelope Featherington fell in love. But Colin Bridgerton certainly didn't fall in love with her in 1812 (and not in 1813, 1814, 1815, or - oh blast, not in all the years 1816-1822, either, and certainly not in 1823, when he was out of the country the whole time, anyway..' Penelope Featherington has secretly adored her best friend's brother forwell, it feels like forever. After half a lifetime of watching Colin Bridgerton from afar, she thinks she knows everything about him, until she stumbles across his deepest secretand fears she doesn't know him at all.Colin Bridgerton is tired of being thought of as nothing but an empty-headed charmer, tired of everyone's preoccupation with the notorious gossip columnist Lady Whistledown, who can't seem to publish an edition without mentioning him in the first paragraph. But when Colin returns to London from a trip abroard he discovers nothing in his life is quite the same - especially Penelope Featherington! The girl haunting his dreams. But when he discovers that Penelope has secrets of her own, this elusive bachelor must decideis she his biggest threat - or his promise of a happy ending?

The newest Apple+ adaption of Edith Wharton's Buccaneers, while anticipated by me, also has me pondering the uptick in recent classics adapted in similar tones to Bridgerton, like Netflix's 2022 Persuasion, to varying degrees of success. While the sample size is small, it has me thinking about why we're gravitating to the classics to satisfy the demand of Bridgerton instead of adapting more romance novels. https://youtu.be/JAnoZDloO18

Nothing better than Julia Quinn on a cold day in PA. I can tell that this will go fast. I just started reading it and 125 pages are gone! The Bridgerton family makes easy to like them.

Found out about this through the show and wanted to give it a read. I must report that I found the book okay-ish. The first half is entertaining, but the second seems dragged out and boring. Maybe the overall series makes for a better read. But honestly, I‘m not too inclined to spend my time on it right now.

Book 4. Penelope 💛. I unapologetically love these books and save them for when comfort reading is needed. This didn‘t disappoint.

Finished this over coffee this morning. I will say I was quite excited for Colin and Penelope‘s story, so I was a bit disappointed when it felt so slow. Maybe I just expected their friend‘s to lovers ah-ha moment to be bigger than it was. Still an enjoyable read. I‘m loving getting to know some of the younger Bridgerton siblings personalities.

Out of all the stories this was the one felt the most rushed and awkward. There was no real chemistry and even the spicy scenes were a little lacking. The romance felt a completely rushed and there wasn‘t nearly enough time spent on the reasons why they loved each other. It felt so much more forced than the others in the series. I thought the stakes weren‘t as high as the other books, there wasn‘t a climax that really made the relationship work.

Just finished the fourth book in the Bridgerton series. I enjoyed the book. This series is going to be the next one I collect. To me it is a quick read and I already know the characters. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars

as always, it's a pleasure to read another installment of Julia Quinn's books. You might think that you should be tired by now, but you are wrong. The books never cease to surprise you even though the background of the books are similar. Julia always manages to find that little something extra which means you can't stop reading.

Its ridiculous how much I'm enjoying this series. Quinn is great at characters and the reading is easy so I'm flying through the series. The only question now is whether I'll enjoy the TV series as much as the books. #76-2022

I loved this book a lot, but Benedict‘s book is my favorite (for now), so since I loved Benedict‘s so much Colin‘s book felt a little bit underwhelming.
Only because in my head I keep comparing the books, if that wasn‘t the case then I would be completely OBSESSED with this book.

"I love you," he said, his voice low and fervent. "I love you with everything I am, everything I've been, and everything I hope to be”
"I love you with my past, and I love you for my future." He bent forward and kissed her, once, softly, on the lips. "I love you for the children we'll have and for the years we'll have together. I love you for every one of my smiles, and even more, for every one of your smiles.”

Why Julia took the most loving character and turned him into a raging asshole in this book is a wonder to me. Colin.. sweet, easy-going Colin.. yet we see another side to him in this story. Then she kinda just blamed it on “love.” Idk, I hope the show adaption shows more passion and less red-flag abuser vibes. I am glad they are hopping right into this story line with the next season. I don‘t see how they could drag Pen and Col out anymore after⬇️

BooksNBowls Season two‘s ending! Also the actress who plays Penelope is nervous about doing the sex scenes so I think she‘s gonna try to opt out of them, which is a bummer because this book was a lil spicy there!! (The carriage scene 😍 & Colin‘s bedroom 🤤) Also the reveal for Lady Whistledown was interesting although I do enjoy the show‘s version better. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyways, I‘m a sucker for these books! Love it! 2y

I couldn‘t wait, so I decided to go ahead and dive into Colin again. It‘s been at least 10 years since I‘ve read these, so I guess I‘ve blocked out how awful these guys get when they feel threatened or slighted. Even my sweet baby angel Colin turned into a douche canoe over lady whistledown. Besides that, love this book, Penelope is adorable. Colin, grow up.

For fans of the Bridgerton adaptation on Netflix, they're going a little out of order. Which means Benedict/Sophie fans are going to have to wait a little longer, because Penelope and Colin are about to have their moment! Yay!

It seems like each time I finish a Bridgerton novel it becomes my new favorite Bridgerton novel… not sure how long that could possibly hold up. 😅

So satisfying to finally get Penelope‘s book! I mean there‘s Colin, too, but Penelope! Just delightfully romantic and funny, and appropriately steamy when it needed to be. A perfect weekend binge read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Scochrane26 This is probably my favorite one. 2y

After a very busy workweek I‘m finally under a heap of covers in my huge pyjamas with the next Bridgerton novel. This is the only one not available through my library and I‘m being very strict on my book buying ban so I made myself wait for my birthday celebration ‘exception day‘ to get it. So now I‘m proud of myself for waiting AND in desperate need of relaxing in bed with some glorious escapism.

wanderinglynn I love Penelope! 2y

I love that with each addition to the Bridgerton series, Julia Quinn manages to keep things fresh. Particularly impressive considering how formulaic the genre can sometimes be. Don't get me wrong, I find comfort in a happily ever after, but it's also nice to have some unexpected turns along the way. While the unveiling of Lady Whistledown will not be a surprise for anyone who's seen the show, I so enjoyed seeing Penelope get her happy ending ❤️

I love this journey for Pen and Colin. And I love how even though it's partially the reverse of one of Simon and Daphne's tropes (sister's BFF vs BFF's sister), it doesn't feel like a rehash of anything that came before! #historicalromance #reread

Dipping into the pile of books my youngest daughter loaned me, I‘m taking a Bridgerton break. So grateful the books are better than the series. A fun, light-weight read. We finally get to know, for sure, who Lady Whistledown is And we get to watch Penelope finally get her man.

FeatherV eeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am screaming! I'm so excited you're liking them! 🙌 2y
Mshookquilts @FeatherV 😂. And this may be my new favorite. Tough to decide between this & the previous one. 2y
FeatherV @Mshookquilts wait till you get to the last two which in my opinion are the absolute best! Though Benedict was my favorite story until then. His is very cinderella esqe and I was here for it. 2y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don‘t know why I waited so long to read this series lol probably because I hadn‘t heard of it since Netflix decided to make the show. I loved it but these are so much better. While watching the series, I wanted to know this story since episode one. I love Penelope. This didn‘t disappoint. The Bridgerton family is just amazing people on the inside and Colin is no different. I love the back and forth between him and Penelope. #LitsyLove
