final report on the romance

I finished Romancing Mister Bridgerton at 2:30 a.m. on Christmas morning. I really enjoyed it and may even read another one since there was an intriguing teaser for the next in the series at the end of the book. My only quibble was a highly unrealistic love scene (semi-undressed in a carriage in Regency England? I don't think so!) but the characters were likeable and the writing humor-filled so a thumbs up from this reader. And nobody is more amazed at that review than yours truly!

reporting back on the romance novel

Okay, I admit it, I am loving Romancing Mister Bridgerton by Julia Quinn. How can I not love a romance where the heroine is 27 years old, has a small weight problem and is considered boring and unattractive by the ton. Set in Regency London and owing a large debt to Jane Austen, this is really a fun read and I look forward to crawling into bed with it every night!
