A New York Times Bestseller From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the story of Eloise Bridgerton, in the fifth of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix. ELOISE'S STORY Sir Phillip knew that Eloise Bridgerton was a spinster, and so he'd proposed, figuring that she'd be homely and unassuming, and more than a little desperate for an offer of marriage. Except . . . she wasn't. The beautiful woman on his doorstep was anything but quiet, and when she stopped talking long enough to close her mouth, all he wanted to do was kiss her . . . and more. Did he think she was mad? Eloise Bridgerton couldn't marry a man she had never met! But then she started thinking . . . and wondering . . . and before she knew it, she was in a hired carriage in the middle of the night, on her way to meet the man she hoped might be her perfect match. Except . . . he wasn't. Her perfect husband wouldn't be so moody and ill-mannered, and while Phillip was certainly handsome, he was a large brute of a man, rough and rugged, and totally unlike the London gentlemen vying for her hand. But when he smiled . . . and when he kissed her . . . the rest of the world simply fell away, and she couldn't help but wonder . . . could this imperfect man be perfect for her?

This was an easy read for summer days at the pool. However, I watched the “Bridgerton” series on Netflix before reading any of the books, so the Eloise I met on the screen is not quite the Eloise in this book. Is she clever? As ever. Is she opinionated and a rambler? Absolutely. But I felt the screen Eloise had more gumption and gall than the one of the book. There are glimpses of her, but the idea of Eloise Bridgerton being swept up in her loneliness at 28 and sneaking off to see if her pen-pal could be the one seemed a bit far fetched. Perhaps if I had met Book Eloise before Screen Eloise, I would have enjoyed this more? I'm not sure.
