In fact, I continued to like them both throughout the book.
These two were old family friends thrown together in marriage after Georgina was ruined. This is another Bridgerton prequel and it centers on Georgina and Nicolas Rokesby. I enjoy Julia Quinn and absolutely adored the first book in this series. But in many ways it also left me wanting. There were things I liked about this book. I am struggling a little with how to come at this review. Like I said, it's cute and (due to the cats) one of the funnier and more memorable of Quinn's stories. He's studying to be a doctor and she is an intelligent young woman who would love to have the chance to travel and work in that field, as well.Īnyway. Quinn does a decent job making that weird situation palatable. Her old family friend and neighbor, Nicholas, gets pressured into asking her to marry him to avoid her ruination, and she's out of options and has to say, yes. Georgiana is compromised in the eyes of society through no fault of her own, having been 'kidnapped' and taken for a carriage ride by a fortune hunter.
I honestly don't think I'd find her books half as funny without Landor reading them to me. In fact, she pretty much does every character in Julia Quinn's books to perfection. She does the yowling, highly indignant cat to absolute perfection. Swear to god, Rosalyn Landor had me crying. It makes listening to the audiobook 100% worth it. There's this scene with Georgiana's cats.Īll of them are trapped in baskets for a long carriage ride to their new home, and one of the scraggly bastards is making life miserable for everyone involved. First comes scandal, then comes marriage. or could they?īut as they embark upon their unorthodox courtship they discover a new twist to the age-old rhyme. Georgie doesn't want to be anyone's sacrifice, and besides, they could never think of each other as anything more than childhood friends. It might not have been the most romantic of proposals, but Nicholas never thought she'd say no. But when he discovers that Georgie Bridgerton - his literal girl-next-door - is facing ruin, he knows what he must do.
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 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.Īs the fourth son of an earl, Nicholas Rokesby is prepared to chart his own course. She'd just thought she'd have some say in the matter. Georgiana Bridgerton isn't against the idea of marriage.
