Description

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?

    I love how the story is told in the country away from the ton, whistle down, and most of Eloise’s family. It truly was all about the couple. I love that the male character was more rugged, less formal. A pleasant change of pace. And of course Julia Quinn kept it spicy! 🔥

    The most unexpected match for Eloise, and she is truly even more a delight as a wife.

    Their love story was one of her best. The twins are so much fun. The story is really well crafted and I love how they took such a minor character of his first wife and turned her into a much more detailed character in the tv show. I can’t wait for them to cover this book, hopefully they will put off Benedict a little longer and do this book next.
  • Not what I wanted for Eloise

    Eloise was my favorite character in the Bridgerton series. She’s intelligent, independent, opinionated, picky, humorous, and she just doesn’t stop talking. To me, she seemed to always stand firm in her beliefs and was cautious about marriage because she wanted the best for herself. This book, I felt she was not her true self with her “love match.” And I really wanted someone better for her instead of someone who was desperate to marry anyone just to have someone to take care of his children for him. In this regard, I do hope the show does stray from the book because it was downright depressing to me for Eloise. I’m giving it 3 stars because the book did keep me reading, and the author does write well despite the storyline. I read the book in a day, as I have all the other ones so far. It has a lot of charming rhetoric between characters and the children gave it a less gloomy feel and did allow Eloise’s personality come into play.

    There was a lot that happened off the page, or in a letter, for this book. It’s hardly explained or shared for the reader. Despite the length of this book, it felt slight rushed and unclear; the main characters loving each other in a ridiculous amount of time and loving things about each other that are not fully shared with the reader. It was ok, but definitely a forget it shelve it book.
  • Not what I wanted for Eloise tbh

    The story was quite beautiful but I could not imagine her being HER in the story. It felt like I was reading about a completely different character and sir Philip made me feel like he only wanted to marry her to be an unpaid maid in the house at first. His change of emotion made me feel like he was “forced”. when I read I would like to feel like the characters are real people and I’m just like an invisible person watching them. when I read this all I could think about was “they are characters the author forced them into this” not like the other books. Still I enjoyed it but very out of character. I just…. Expected Eloise’s story to be different idk what but not this.
  • Surprisingly delightful

    I wasn’t sure going into this story of Eloise that I would enjoy this book, especially after watching the Netflix season one. I thought it wouldn’t be possible to picture Eloise the character in the show to Eloise in the book. Don’t hesitate, you’ll love it!
