Julia Quinn

"Where is the scintillating Lord Bridgerton?" he asked.

"Oh, somewhere. I don't know. We'll find each other at the end of the day, that is all that matters." 

wait im not supposed to RELATE to these characters WHAT 

Something caught in her throat, and Lucy suddenly felt far too alone in her ignorance. He knew, and Hermione knew, and the poets claimed they did as well. It seemed she was the only lost soul, the only person who didn't understand what love was, who wasn't even sure it existed, or if it did, whether it existed for her.

Gregory made a mental note to give Kate an extremely ordinary gift for her next birthday. Rocks, maybe.

And at that, somehow, she was angry. Really, truly, beastly angry. She didn't want to be commended for knowing how to settle for second-best. That was like winning a prize for the prettiest shoes in a footrace. Irrelevant and not the point.

"Anthony was a good father to me." Gregory said it because he knew it would bring her joy, but he also said it because it was true.

It’s almost as if Gregory is trying to convince himself that Lucy is nothing. The gentleman doth protest too much, me thinks 

L’enthusiast

“And it hadn’t been desire. It couldn’t be desire. He’d been waiting his entire life to react to a woman the way he had to Hermione Watson. He couldn’t possibly feel desire for another woman after that. Not Lady Lucinda, not anyone.

I honestly would have given this a higher rating if the book did not start out how it did. I found it really hard to get into the story, I didn't like how Gregory was "in love" with Hermione in the beginning. I thought it was kind of a waste of time. But I really got roped in after Gregory and Lucy kissed in the hallway. Honestly really loved it except for the beginning.

LO AMÉ.
Gregory sin dudas está en mi top 3 de los Bridgerton. Esta historia es preciosa, cómo se desarrolla la relación con Lucy es simplemente hermosa, cómo se complementan y se entienden, simplemente PRECIOSO 💗 Te rompe y te arma el corazón en unos capítulos y se disfruta mucho. 🫶🏻 Voy a extrañar leer a los Bridgerton. 😭

           Gregory and Lucy's story was slow at first, but I soon got swept up in their world, and all the drama. I admire Gregory's faith in his love. The second epilogue was quite dramatic.

Allie Johnson

Finally, I have completed the Bridgerton series. In summary, I can't recommend the men's books as much as I can the women's--except for Anthony's which was the best. Netflix does a great job of creating more build-up, tension and drama and I can't wait to watch them all <3

Gregory made up for the disappointment of his brothers

This one was so wild to be honest. It started off with a bang and didn’t stop from there. It’s crazy to see how many different stories can be given in this series and they are all so entertaining. They are honestly one of my favorites in the series. I honestly love Lucy and Gregory and enjoyed their story so much. There was so much to it and I really liked it all the way through. 

Priscilla Stanfield

really enjoyable storyline. gregory and lucy's story was very entertaining and had lots of great drama especially towards the end of the book. however, i do need quinn to pay for my therapy bill after that last epilogue.

I loved this book!! Julia Quinn did a wonderful job concluding this series, ensuring that no stone was left unturned. Gregory and Lucy's story is heart-wrenching and engaging, leaving you hanging on the edge of your seat. This book does a great job at developing complex plot lines and character developments. I would definitely reread this book and look forward to reading the prequels and sequels to this series.

Loved the added layer of the story with Lucy and the action of the hero and heroine.

I do love Gregory and Lucy, but I gotta say. Dang. I hope I never read such a dramatic tale of events ever again. I'm EXHAUSTED.

           Estoy profundamente decepcionada y dolida por este libro. Lo único rescatable para mi fue que Gregory y Lucy son buenos personajes, y que además salen algunos personajes de libros pasados. Fuera de eso, nada me gustó.

Comenzando por el hecho de que la sinopsis promete un forbidden love, y lo tenemos (algo así), pero hasta la mitad. La primera mitad del libro fue absolutamente relleno. Que Gregory se “enamore” por mirarle la espalda a la amiga de Lucy, Hermione, fue tan innecesario y ridículo que no puedo comenzar a describir mi descontento.

Que Lucy se comparar todo el tiempo con su amiga fue irritable, también el hecho que todos los hombres morían por Hermione rozó lo absurdo.

Me molestó mucho la forma en que Gregory se dio cuenta que estaba enamorado de Lucy, exactamente de la misma forma en que creyó caer enamorado de Hermione. 

El hecho de que él tuviera que humillarse al interrumpir la boda de Lucy me irritó, porque literalmente parecía que la autora se iba sacando todo de la maga al escribir la segunda mitad del libro.

¿Amarrar a Lucy en el baño? ¿Que el tío de ella la raptara? ¿Que incluyeran armas y disparos? R I D I C U L O.

Sinceramente pensé que iba a ser un gran libro el que iba a cerrar esta maravillosa serie. Una lastima que haya contado con buenos personajes pero una pésima ejecución.

Lo único rescatable es que por más random que fuera el epílogo, lo disfruté mucho.

Summary: Gregory Bridgerton believes in true love and he believes he has found it when he lays eyes on Miss. Hermione Watson. In an effort to win Hermione’s favor, Gregory forms an alliance with Hermione’s best friend Miss. Lucinda Abernathy. Over the course of this alliance, however, Gregory and Lucy might find that true love does not lie with Miss. Watson, but with each other. 

Review: Gregory Bridgerton is the romantic amongst the Bridgerton brood, how can he not be when his seven siblings have all met and married their soulmates? Lady Lucinda Abernathy is the practical best friend of Miss. Hermione Watson, a maiden who many a gentleman has claimed to have fallen in love with at first sight. Gregory Bridgerton finds himself amongst the ranks of these gentlemen when he falls for Hermione when he catches one glimpse of the back of her neck. Over the course of an alliance to make Hermione look Gregory’s way instead of a most improper tendre she has for an employee of her fathers, Gregory and Lucy grow closer to each other and Gregory begins to doubt his love at first sight. I loved Lucy as a heroine; her sense of duty is in conflict with her true desires and this offers a beautiful contrast between the practical Lucy and the romantic Gregory. Violet and Gregory’s conversation about his relationship with his brothers was touching and also served as a real turning point for Gregory which was excellent plotting. It was great getting to see Kate and Anthony- Viscount and Viscountess Bridgerton through Gregory’s eyes. Gregory and Kate had an adorable bond and Anthony is interesting to see from Gregory's point of view - always bordering the line between an older brother and father figure. The climax is an epic showstopper level dramatic and I loved every bit! What the dramatics show is how far Gregory Bridgerton is willing to go to earn his girl and his happy ending. Gregory and Lucy suit each other more than I can describe; Lucy needs a little drama in her life and Gregory a little practicality. Lucy and Hermione’s friendship was fine for lack of a better word: I didn’t really care for Hermione’s character because it seemed to me that she comes off as incredibly vain and self-absorbed. I didn’t feel that she cared as much about Lucy as Lucy did for her. I liked having a truly unredeemable villain of a character who actually put the characters in harm's way. It did take me a little while to really get invested in this story. I think it took me some time to understand Lucy as a character as she’s rather complex, and I admit that Gregory’s infatuation with Hermione was difficult to get through. However, once I was in tune with the flow of the story, I was so invested that I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough!

First part didn't really work for me (Hermione was so meh), but it got better later. Loved that Lucy said "No" when Gregory crashed her wedding xD

Gregory Bridgerton's six siblings have all fallen prey to love, so he figures he need only sit back and wait for "the one" to waltz into his life. Then he meets Hermione Watson. The "breathtakingly perfect of her neck" convinces Gregory that she's destined to be his, but Hermione's practical, plainspoken friend Lucy Abernathy throws cold water on his aspirations when she informs him that Hermione's heart belongs to another.

Different plot line than we saw from the others in the series in an exciting way. Kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end

Couldn't get into it. It was too confusing, honestly just reading the synopsis of it was confusing. It was really too bad because I always loved Gregory but I just couldn't.

And he is convinced that when he finds the woman of his dreams, he will know in an instant that she is the one. And that is exactly what happened. Except ... She wasn’t the one.

           esse livro acabou comigo completamente. quando eu comecei eu nao sabia se eu ia gostar pq o gregory nunca teve tanta atencao nos outros livros e eu nao sabia muito sobre ele. assim q eu comecei a conhecer ele eu ja sabia q esse livro ia ser o meu favorito da serie. ele eh tao fofo, amoroso e perfeito q me da vontade de chorar (tipo o michael).

eu amei que ele sempre acreditou no amor desde o comeco, e q pcausa da familia dele sempre ter dado certo com amor ele colocou na cabeca que queria isso pra ele tambem. eu agradeco a todas as forcas do universo que fizeram ele nao ficar com a podre da hermione (ela nao eh tao ruim assim mas a lucy eh 300x melhor), e sim ter se apaixonado aos poucos pela lucy. o romance foi tao adorable que eu daria minha vida pra ler esse livro de novo pela primeira vez. 

ele e a lucy comecam como amigos, quando ele fica apaixonado pela hermione (melhor amiga dela) e ela tenta ajudar ele a conquistar o coracao dela. eles criam um laco e depois percebem que na verdade eles tao se apaixonando um pelo outro.

eu AMEI q a lucy, do comeco ate o final do livro, eh sensata e sabe suas prioridades, sim, eu fiquei putassa que ela recusou casar com ele, mas no fundo eu sabia que ela tava fazendo isso pelo bem da familia dela. depois que tudo da certo eles ficam juntos, eu so tive mais certeza q eu tava certa desde o comeco que eu ia amar ela e que ela tomou todas as decisoes no caminho certo.

esse livro se tornou meu favorito assim que eu soube q eu ia amar os dois, que os dois eram sensatos e nao vazios por dentro, que eles mantiam a personalidade e opnioes fortes ate o final mas ao mesmo tempo se amando infinitamente. com certeza essa cast desse livro foi a melhor, eu amei a parte familia do livro, com a kate e o anthony (perfeitos) playing a big role e tambem com o colin (perfeito/2) ajudando o gregory mesmo depois da merda, e a hyacinth querendo cortar a cabeca da lucy (pq ela nao sabia dos motivos dela) pq ela chateou o irmao dela, isso foi tao fofo meu, eles sao sem duvidas o melhor duo dos bridgertons.

 o final mais fofo do mundo, eu amei q eles tiveram mais filhos q a violet e que os filhos foram named after pessoas importantes pra eles tipo Francesca Hyacinth (olha que fofo meu). sem contar a parte que eu fiquei desesperada quando ela teve gemeos e nao parava de sangrar, soh faltava ela morrer e deixar a serie com uma morte no final >:( MAS NAO, tudo da certo e o gregory chora de felicidade e a ultima cena eh eles em familia, ele sao tudo mano, perfeitos!!!!!!!!! Gregory is a romantic e isso conquistou meu coracao desde o comeco, a Lucy eh centered mas isso nao deixa o livro pior, e sim MELHOR!!!!!! AAMEIIIEIEIEIIEIEIEEIIIII

esse livro conquistou meu coracao e eu to muito chateada q foi o ultimo dessa serie perfeita. eh isso agora vou chorar pra eternidade pq eu amei bridgerton e minha vida nao tem sentido sem eles. sike i lied (nao na parte de chorar pra eternidade), eu vou dar um tempinho pra eu esquecer e vou ler tudo de novo :)

I loved this book with my whole heart! I can't explain it, i have no words to describe how Gregory and Lucy's love story is dear to me. It's definitely my favorite bridgerton book!

um, i guess this was one of the better ones? though julia quinn turns bizarrely dark for the series towards the end. wasn't very impressed with the tying to a water closet either but otherwise gregory and lucy's dynamic was one of the more compelling ones.

I was pleasantly surprised that the final installment in the Bridgerton series had a few more twists than usual. Glad we finally got to see Gregory's happily ever after.
