Eloise was outspoken and not like most heroines where as Sir Phillip was the large brooding man with major mood swings. For me this book has a little bit of a Beauty and the Beast feel to it. She was strong, quirky, funny, bad ass-y and generally odd but I simply loved her. To Sir Phillip, With Love (Eloise’s story, Book 5)Įloise was my favorite Bridgerton sister. The first half of the book would have been a 4 star rating but the later part brought it down to a 3 star rating. There was just so much conflict between him and Daphne toward the end of the book that I found it frustrating and some of it didn’t even make sense! I was so bothered by Simon’s refusal of children and the vehemence he felt seemed completely displaced and didn’t seem to fit with his backstory to the extent that I thought it called for. The second Daphne and Simon married he became positively intolerable! It was like he became a completely different character from the beginning of the book until the end. Simon who started out slightly arrogant and with cute stubbornness quickly became an ass. They were so overly protective and nosy when it came to Daphne and I was over it by the last third of the book. The brother who started out so charming and fun, got really annoying really quick.
It was like Jane Austen with sex and I loved it when it started.
I loved the witty dialogue and smart romance. An Offer From a Gentleman (Benedict’s story, Book 2) What ensued was a full on book binge of the entire series! I have been documenting my reading of the series on my Instagram page and I had a number of people ask which was my favorite and why so I thought it would be fun to share my ranking of the series in a more comprehensive capacity here on my blog today! So let’s take a look at what I thought of the books from worst to best! 8. It was good but after a while it got cumbersome and irritating, however after watching the show, I was inspired to pick up the books again! I picked up The Duke and I and to be honest I just didn’t love it. My husband loved it as much as I did and truly, it is a remarkable show so if you haven’t watched it yet please do so! That said, when I heard the show was coming out in the spring, I knew that I wanted to try and read the books. The next thing I know, it was 3 am and we had binged the entire series in one sitting! He wasn’t sure about it but I told him that he only had to watch one episode and if he didn’t like it then I would just watch it alone on another day. I desperately wanted to watch it and asked if my husband wanted to watch with me. Like most of the world, the Netflix series Bridgerton, dominated my TV during Christmas Day.
