Colin is so charming, glib, sweet, thoughtful, and generally likable which is why I was so excited to read this one. Like Penelope, I had this idealized vision of Colin from the earlier books. He certainly had intolerable moments in this book but in the end he overcame his insecurities and embraced them, but getting there was hard for me. Never in my life did I dream that I would find Colin Bridgerton intolerable! Ok that’s not entirely true.

But when he discovers that Penelope has secrets of her own, this elusive bachelor must decide…is she his biggest threat – or his promise of a happy ending? (summary from Goodreads) Review

But when Colin returns to London from a trip abroad he discovers nothing in his life is quite the same – especially Penelope Featherington! The girl haunting his dreams. After half a lifetime of watching Colin Bridgerton from afar, she thinks she knows everything about him, until she stumbles across his deepest secret…and fears she doesn’t know him at all.Ĭolin Bridgerton is tired of being thought 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. Penelope Featherington has secretly adored her best friend’s brother for…well, it feels like forever.

SummaryĮveryone knows that Colin Bridgerton is the most charming man in London. So far The Viscount Who Loved Me is my absolute favorite in the series, as I am a huge fan of enemies to lovers and that book was hands down my fav troupe! But I also wouldn’t pass up a friends to lovers troupe either and Colin and Penelope have been favorite fringe characters for me in the previous books so I couldn’t wait to watch them fall in love.Įspecially in the third book, Quinn set up their romance perfectly when Colin insults Penelope in the third book, I was like dear god hurry up and get done so I can start on Colin and Penelope’s story already! These books don’t need to be read in order but I personally prefer them in order as there are little Easter eggs and set ups in each book for the next one. Obviously I love the show and I couldn’t wait to get more of the Bridgerton’s and to be honest, Colin and Penelope’s romance was one I was eagerly anticipating! When I read The Duke and I last spring, I had no idea that I was going to eventually binge all of the books once the show came out. Something about the Bridgerton books is compelling me to binge read them all.
