A New York Times Bestseller

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the story of Gregory Bridgerton, in the final installment of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix.

GREGORY’S STORY

Unlike most men of his acquaintance, Gregory Bridgerton believes in true love. And he is convinced that when he finds the woman of his dreams, he will know in an instant that she is the one. And that is exactly what happened. Except ...

She wasn’t the one. In fact, the ravishing Miss Hermione Watson is in love with another. But her best friend, the ever-practical Lady Lucinda Abernathy, wants to save Hermione from a disastrous alliance, so she offers to help Gregory win her over. But in the process, Lucy falls in love. With Gregory! Except ...

Lucy is engaged. And her uncle is not inclined to let her back out of the betrothal, even once Gregory comes to his senses and realizes that it is Lucy, with her sharp wit and sunny smile, who makes his heart sing. And now, on the way to the wedding, Gregory must risk everything to ensure that when it comes time to kiss the bride, he is the only man standing at the altar …

Product description

From Publishers Weekly

In her spirited, witty, inimitable style, Quinn (It's in His Kiss) wraps up her Regency era Bridgerton series with a tale that takes to task the notion of love at first sight. Gregory Bridgerton's six siblings have all fallen prey to love, so he figures he need only sit back and wait for "the one" to waltz into his life. Then he meets Hermione Watson. The "breathtakingly perfect curve of her neck" convinces Gregory that she's destined to be his, but Hermione's practical, plainspoken friend Lucy Abernathy throws cold water on his aspirations when she informs him that Hermione's heart belongs to another. Quinn's final Bridgerton romance brings the series to a gratifying close. Although some readers will wish that it contained more of the sibling camaraderie that has propelled the series so ably—and less repetitive description of the protagonists' flaws—this tale is as frothy and festive as a glass of bubbly, and more than worthy of a toast.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn loves to dispel the myth that smart women don't read (or write) romance, and in 2001 she did so in grand fashion, appearing on the game show The Weakest Link and walking away with the $79,000 jackpot. She displayed a decided lack of knowledge about baseball, country music, and plush toys, but she is proud to say that she aced all things British and literary, answered all of her history and geography questions correctly, and knew that there was a Da Vinci long before there was a code. Ms. Quinn is one of only sixteen members of Romance Writers of America's Hall of Fame, her books have been translated into 29 languages, and she currently lives with her family in the Pacific Northwest.

3.0 out of 5 stars An Adventurous Finale
Reviewed in Canada on April 30, 2021
I loved the unique prologue and how this book started! With that beginning, I couldn't help but keep reading rapidly because I wanted to know the events that lead to that scene.

I did really like the coupling of the main characters but I wouldn't say that I liked Gregory's process of falling in love, especially when it initially happened with Hermione based on the "back of her neck". This is probably an accurate representation of that period in time but I didn't like how quickly Gregory could be swayed. It made the main love story almost seem like the result of a back up plan.

There was a lot going on with this story, especially nearing the end with the arranged marriage. I understood the necessity of an arranged marriage but also wouldn't say that it was my favourite element of the plot.

As for the second epilogue, what an emotional rollercoaster. Without spoiling too much, I do want to add a content warning as this part of the novel could be traumatic for those who have dealt with a traumatic birth or infant loss. If you are worried about how this content will effect you, I highly encourage you to read more reviews prior to reading or skip the second epilogue altogether.

A great storyline - very unique - should have been a hit run but there were times when the writing was so borrrrrring. The body of this novel needed more action - more interesting conversations - more humor. The last few chapters and the epilogue were very good, though.

As I began to read the final story about the last of the Bridgerton children to find love, I must admit to pure curiosity: was Julia Quinn going to pull off telling the same story, yet again, but with a twist? Of entertaining us anew? All I shall say is, never fear, Gentle Readers. Gregory's story was well chosen as the last...
