About this listen

She was given two choices....

Georgiana Bridgerton isn’t against the idea of marriage. She’d just thought she’d have some say in the matter. But with her reputation hanging by a thread after she’s abducted for her dowry, Georgie is given two options: live out her life as a spinster or marry the rogue who has ruined her life.

Enter option number three...

As the fourth son of an earl, Nicholas Rokesby is prepared to chart his own course. He has a life in Edinburgh, where he’s close to completing his medical studies, and he has no time - or interest - to find a wife. But when he discovers that Georgie Bridgerton - his literal girl next door - is facing ruin, he knows what he must do.

A marriage of convenience...

It might not have been the most romantic of proposals, but Nicholas never thought she’d say no. Georgie doesn’t want to be anyone’s sacrifice, and besides, they could never think of each other as anything more than childhood friends...or could they?

But as they embark upon their unorthodox courtship they discover a new twist to the age-old rhyme. First comes scandal, then comes marriage. But after that comes love...

An easy read light romance book, not sure about all the cat dedication it was a bit weird and long. I would have liked the end storyline fleshed out more. The sex scene descriptions are a bit over the top especially for that period- less is best. Recommend for others after the previous books have been completed

A good light read

at first the audio had a really weird fuzz or something I can't explain. eventually got better, the book felt very repetitive in certain parts and the darn cat made me want to scream, a+ to the narrator there, conveyed the annoyance of that cat well.
overall, good, but ehhhhh.

not the best out of the series but good

I have loved all the bridgerton books. This was the last one on the list. Quite disappointed sadly. The cat in this book is overdone
The cat screeches are way too much and almost unbearable to listen to. Landor is phenomenal but the cat was too much for me
Not a great story this one unfortunately and it pains me to say it

Worst bridgerton book
