RETURN TO THE WORLD OF THE BRIDGERTONS . . .
________________________________________
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 #3
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 . . . 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 . . .

“This romance was so very cheerful, uplifting and funny. Just what we all need these days”
I confess that I’m torn as regards this book. On the one hand, I have never seen such carelessness in any author’s work. On the other, it was a wonderful feel-good book that made me laugh many times.
Carelessness?...

“Not great at all”
As much as I have enjoyed Julia Quinn's books in the past. This Bridgeton's prequel series never has quite hit the mark for me. And there seems to be something vastly missing from this instalment.
