"I blasted through book 4 in anticipation for the second half of the TV show coming out in a couple weeks. Man these Bridgerton men have issues and Colin is no exception. Luckily by the end there is some redemption as the character does grow into a more supportive partner. I am extremely excited to see how this plays out on the show! This is the first of this series that I’ve read just prior to the release of its episodes and if I enjoy it, I will probably continue to read the next book right before the correlating Bridgerton’s story airs on TV."

"While I’m not a huge fan of friends to lovers (I can never understand why it takes so long to develop feelings!) I did immensely enjoy Colin and Penelope’s book. I thought this couple did a good job being vulnerable and revisiting tough conversations when needed. I liked that Colin’s jealousy was explored because it felt so honest and believable. <br/><br/>However, I do think the ending was far fetched at best. No one can convince me Lady Whistledown would be widely praised and accepted by the ton and I hate that the reception was made unbelievable so Penelope didn’t have to deal with the consequences of her actions."

"I love this whole series and so far this is my least favorite; however, that does not mean it isn’t great! It hit a climax sort of early and kinda dropped off. But it eventually picked back up and left me with a smile on my face. Starting the next one asap! "

"the best so far. Colin isn't an awful person but his temper is like a little worrying. overall I quite liked Penelope and Colin and their story as a whole. I liked that they were older and closer in age than most the the couples in this series. I was quite sick of 30 year olds going after 18 and 20 year olds"

"I like this book not only because I am a fan of the Bridgerton novels but I love the telling of Penelope's story! I enjoyed the seemless transition of both Penelope and Colin's perspectives. I did think the plot was a little easy to guess but it was written well and unfolded nicely."
