Molto bello, mi è piaciuto tantissimo anche questo quarto libro che vede protagonista Colin, il più bello dei fratelli Bridgerton, e Penelope, la migliore amica della sorella Eloise, da sempre innamorata senza speranza di lui.
Entrambi nascondono un segreto che credono potrebbe complicare il loro futuro insieme e che creerà qualche inevitabile tensione.
Un’altra storia avvincente e appassionante, piacevole e divertente, una serie che si conferma, libro dopo libro, sempre più coinvolgente, avvincente ed emozionante. ( )

Penelope is one of my favorite Quinn heroines so far. She is smart, funny and sweet, and simply fun to read. ( )

I've been waiting on Colin and Penelope's romance to take center stage for a while now, so I was happy to pick up this installment in the Bridgerton series. And the story does get to a quick, witty start with a heroine who is just too relatable (Penelope's weight comes up several times and it was a delight to have the heroine of a romance novel enjoy so much good food). Penelope, of course, has loved Colin for years and he finally sees her as who she really is, prompted by his discovery of a secret she's been keeping. Overall, I loved this book and I was so happy to see a long-awaited relationship finally materialize. ( )

I’ve been so looking forward to this Bridgerton book, and I was not disappointed! I always enjoy a romance when the leads get together before the very end, so the reader gets to see them happy together for a while. Highlights for me (besides swoony scenes with the lovebirds) were the unruly younger Bridgerton siblings, Colin’s outrage at the Featheringtons, Lady Danbury being Lady Danbury, and Cressida’s comeuppance.

This edition had a second epilogue written years after the original publication, and it was a winner too. Of the four Bridgerton books I’ve read in the series, I think this is my favorite. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
For the women on avonloop, colleagues and friends all--thanks for giving me someone to talk to all day long. Your support and friendship have meant more to me than I could ever say.
And for Paul, even though the closest thing you'd ever find to a romance in his field is a lecture called "The Kiss of Death."
First words
On the sixth of April, in the year 1812--precisely two days before her sixteenth birthday--Penelope Featherington fell in love.
Quotations
" I love you," he said, leaning forward to kiss her. And this time she couldn't reply, because his mouth remained on hers, hungry, demanding, and very, very seductive.
