The Viscount Who Loved Me (Bridgerton Series #2) (With 2nd Epilogue)

To Sir Phillip, with Love (Bridgerton Series #5) (With 2nd Epilogue)
Bridgerton #6: Francesca's story. I wondered whether I should give a brief description, but everything I came up with gave too much away. So here are some keywords: Scottish Castle, Rake who only has eyes for you, Unexpected twists. Intrigued?
When He Was Wicked (Bridgerton Series #6) (With 2nd Epilogue)
Bridgerton #7: Hyacinth's story. This is truly dazzling. If it were a cocktail, you would mix one part a rake with a heart of gold, two parts mystery and one part a heroine with a devil-may-care attitude. Shake vigorously. And then shake again. It tu...
It's in His Kiss (Bridgerton Series #7)
Bridgerton #8: Gregory's story. Slow burn friends-to-lovers and a dash of ‘you were there all along’. It wouldn't be a magical romance series without at least one ‘I have to get to the church and stop that wedding!’ scene. Classic.
