Should I get “I AM AN ON-THE-SHELF SPINSTER” tattooed on my forehead?

August 22, 2016 by narfna 5 Comments

Romancing Mr. Bridgerton is the fourth book in Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series, which follows the seven Bridgerton siblings in their various quests for love and marriage, etc. This is not a series non-romance fans will enjoy; it doesn’t exactly wallow in genre tropes, but it does embrace them quite willingly, and does teeter on some cutesy attitudes every once in a while (you can tell it’s pleased with itself and its characters). That said, this series is fun, and so is this book. This time […]

“My aim in life,” Lady Danbury announced, “is to be a menace to as great a number of people as possible”

August 17, 2016 by faintingviolet 2 Comments

In the continuing story of my bad travel experiences this past weekend (5 hours is a long delay, friends) I also started (and finished on the 8 am flight home) another book. When you need a warm blanket of a book, you go back to your comfort reads, which I am convinced are a different genre for everyone. For me, that meant it was time to pull up the next Bridgerton family book on my nook. I love the Bridgertons. This book was starting on […]

Cinderella with naughty bits!

July 7, 2016 by narfna 5 Comments

It’s becoming quite the habit that I start one of these books before bed and then stay up to ungodly hours finishing it, because I have no self control. But I just wasn’t tired! And I wanted to see what happened! (Okay, so I knew what was going to happen, that’s the whole point of reading romance novels, but you know what I mean.) An Offer From a Gentleman is the third of Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton books, and it’s basically a re-telling of Cinderella* (with […]

The last Bridgerton sibling finds his match…eventually

June 12, 2016 by Malin 1 Comment

Gregory Bridgerton is the second youngest of eight siblings and the last of the Bridgerton offspring to remain single. Having seen all of his siblings settle into loving marriages, he is certainly a believer in true love. He just hasn’t met the right woman yet. He’s quite convinced he’ll know once he finally meets the one. Only, when Gregory finally falls in love with a woman, the charming and stunning Miss Hermione Watson, she’s already in love with another man. Her father’s secretary, to be […]

Revolutionary era romance

June 3, 2016 by Beth Ellen Leave a Comment

So starting in 2013 I began my re-discovery of the romance genre. First with the master, Ms. Kleypas, but then continued further and Ms. Quinn was an early one. I overall quite enjoyed her Bridgerton series (and recently just discovered the second epilogues) so when I saw that she was starting a new series spun off of my beloved Bridgertons I had to get it from the library. This is the story of Billie (Sybilla) Bridgerton, aunt of all the previous series, and George, neighbor […]

The Bridgertons: Part Infinity

May 19, 2016 by Beth Ellen Leave a Comment

As many of my reviews begin this way, it’s a bit repetitive, but honestly thank you yet again fellow CBRs for letting me know this book even existed. I read the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn a few years ago thanks to recommendations on here (this was before I participated and just quietly lurked). I highly enjoyed them, so when I found out that Ms. Quinn had written second epilogues to all of her stories I immediately put on hold for some wonderful, light fun. […]
