I kind of thought this one was an old-timey version of Internet dating romcoms like You've Got Mail. Can you take a chance on someone you only know through letters? Will it work out when you meet in person? There was also a blended family element, but that was full of cliches that reminded me of the Sound of Music. So, not my favorite, but not bad either. A bit of Beauty and the Beast, a dash of Sound of Music (kinda. this is its own story, but there are overlapping tropes). As a direct person with propensity to talk too much, Eloise is my favorite Bridgerton. Sir Phillip... could definitely use more growth, like this novel makes him realize how he's repeating bad parenting patterns but he'd still rather play wannabe Mendel in his greenhouse. Also, until I saw the family tree at the end did I realize that the Marina referenced in this one is the same character we see in season 1 of the Netflix show... which makes sense for whenever they get around to Eloise (assuming a season per character, 5? Unless we squish this and [b:Romancing Mr Bridgerton|1859053|Romancing Mr Bridgerton (Bridgertons, #4)|Julia Quinn|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348559120l/1859053._SY75_.jpg|659482] into a season since their timelines are right next to each other and not a year apart like the others). I'm not thrilled with how this novel treats clinical depression (Sir Phillip claims he tried to make her happy, but we never really get particulars). All the Cranes need therapy, and Eloise is NOT here to be your therapist... Again I have been listening to these books and this book was such a fun read featuring my favorite character. I also loved how things romance was different than all the others in the series. I also liked how this book also had a element of a widow romance and loved the kids as main characters. I also really liked seeing the whole Bridgerton family again. I also really liked how the "starting" chapter elements was different from previous books, but I still enjoyed it. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML: A New York Times Bestseller From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the story of Eloise Bridgerton, in the fifth of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix. ELOISE'S STORY Sir Phillip knew that Eloise Bridgerton was a spinster, and so he'd proposed, figuring that she'd be homely and unassuming, and more than a little desperate for an offer of marriage. Except . . . she wasn't. The beautiful woman on his doorstep was anything but quiet, and when she stopped talking long enough to close her mouth, all he wanted to do was kiss her . . . and more. Did he think she was mad? Eloise Bridgerton couldn't marry a man she had never met! But then she started thinking . . . and wondering . . . and before she knew it, she was in a hired carriage in the middle of the night, on her way to meet the man she hoped might be her perfect match. Except . . . he wasn't. Her perfect husband wouldn't be so moody and ill-mannered, and while Phillip was certainly handsome, he was a large brute of a man, rough and rugged, and totally unlike the London gentlemen vying for her hand. But when he smiled . . . and when he kissed her . . . the rest of the world simply fell away, and she couldn't help but wonder . . . could this imperfect man be perfect for her? .Ingen biblioteksbeskrivelser fundet. |

As Eloise and Sir Phillip have a "one step forward, two steps back" type of courtship, Eloise's four brothers discover her whereabouts and descend. Sir Phillip survives the encounter, but now he and Eloise have no choice but to marry. Eloise isn't necessarily opposed, but she wished for a love match and isn't sure this is it. Does Phillip want a wife, or a mother for his children? Of course, despite hiccups, the two do "suit," and after pranking her with a bucket of flour, Amanda and Oliver welcome Eloise.
Quotes
She was the sort of woman whose expressions made her beautiful. (ch. 3)
She hated that her family was trying to run her life, no matter how well intentioned they were, and it had left her feeling sullen and uncooperative. (ch. 11)
She had spent her adult life making her own choices....Maybe that was why it now felt so unbearable to be forced onto a path before she was ready. (ch. 11)
"My children never disappoint me," [Violet] said softly. "They merely...astonish me. I believe I like it that way." (ch. 14)
All her life, she'd known what to do. She hadn't always turned out to be right, but at least she'd felt sure of herself when she had made her decisions....,for her, at least, it was a great deal better to act and be wrong than it was to feel helpless and impotent. (ch. 16)
It had never occurred to me to wish for something I already had. (Amanda, 2nd epilogue) ( )
