The last installment of the Bridgertons series is the story of Gregory and Lucy.
It was a disappointment. The first part of the novel is boring, the end is forced, the dialogues are faint and full of repetitions, and I was annoyed by Gregory's constantly growling stomach.
In this book everything is overdrawn:
• Gregory’s rhapsodic emotions;
• Lucy’s sense of duty and devotion;
• Hermione’s beauty and praising it to the skies;
• Some romantic scenes – especially (view spoiler) – what a cliché!
• Drama: blackmail, hostage crisis, and shooting affair;
• The number of children.
However, it has positive aspects too. Gregory and Lucy have some sweet moments, and the secondary characters – Lady Bridgerton, Hyacinth, Lord Haselby and Hermione - are very likeable, and they undoubtedly benefit the story.
