Spending lots of time with Penelope has an unexpected effect on Colin — he can’t get her out of his head. When he inevitably kisses her, what’s meant as a friendly joke turns into something bigger and more confusing. Hyacinth is at the modiste with her daughter Isabella, now 19. They are choosing dresses now that she's out in society. Isabella throws up protests, wanting to travel rather than parade about the ton to find a husband. Hyacinth firmly shuts her down, and silently sends an apology to her mother for all the trouble she caused during her seasons. Isabella is just like her mother, as Violet had always told Hyacinth. Book Genre: Fiction, Historical, Historical Fiction, Historical Romance, Regency, Romance, Short Stories I had mixed feelings for this story. It is so beautiful but at the same time, heart wrenching! Finally, I got to know the late Edmund.

Hyacinth Bridgerton is loved by the ton, though Gareth St. Clair thinks the woman is best in only the smallest of doses. However, when his father sets about to ruin his inheritance, Gareth’s only hope is translating the sole item he truly possesses: a family diary that could hold the keys to both his past and future, but which is written in Italian. Hyacinth agrees to translate for him, and they find that some of the answers they need are actually in each other’s arms. Book 8: On The Way to The WeddingA sweet and heartwarming episode about an exceptionally happy marriage, with an even sweeter surprise. Al comienzo de cada epílogo la autora nos hace una pequeña introducción contándonos un poco del por qué de ese epílogo y su relación con la historia del libro. Cada protagonista, cada pareja tienen su propio encanto y es inevitable enamorarse de cada una de ellas, aunque para mí mis favoritas son Daphne y Simon y Francesca y Michael. Every romance reader knows that there’s usually at least one heartbreaking moment when you don’t think the heroine is going to wind up with her hero. That moment comes early in Romancing Mister Bridgerton, when Penelope overhears Colin announce to his brothers: “I am certainly not going to marry Penelope Featherington!” She musters her dignity and suggests to Anthony that Colin spend some time abroad before he chooses a wife. I also was horrified when JQ almost almost hinted that Violet would actually have another man in her life, as deserving as she is of love, I am glad that she didnt go that route. I felt that she and Edmund truly had something special (although .... that love scene was awkward! I felt like I was reading a romance scene between my parents)

Happily Ever After is a series of second epilogues for the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn. Three of these are new material (the other six were previously available/published), and this is the first time the complete collection has been made available. Each has a definite subject and for fans that have read (and re-read) the series and call it a favorite this may be of interest, however it would be of no use or interest to a reader who has not read the entire series. Here are the other books which include notable Bridgerton characters. The Wit And Wisdom Of Bridgerton Romano, Aja (December 26, 2020). "Bridgerton has a rape scene, but it's not treated like one".

In The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After, which takes place 28 years after the first novel, we learn that Daphne and Simon have had five children — all named alphabetically — and five grandchildren, as well. They are:

When Gregory and Lucy finally run into one another again, he tries to invite her to a ball at Daphne’s home, only to learn that she’s not to attend any fêtes until she’s married to Lord Haselby. Gregory insists that he can find a way to get her to the ball, and enlists Lady Violet’s help. And so, she and Gregory have one night of illicit passion before she heads off to the church to marry a man she does not love. Gregory tries to interrupt the wedding, but it’s of no use. Lucy marries Lord Haselby right in front of him. Two decades and one Netflix series later, audiences are still falling in love with Quinn's stories. The second season of "Bridgerton" will be released on March 25, striking a different, but no less swoonworthy, tone than the first for its approach to intimate scenes.

At 25, Posy Reiling would be considered a spinster, but life for her had begun when she was 21 after being disowned by her mother, Araminta, and taken in by the Bridgertons. Ignored and neglected by Araminta, Posy had never been truly loved or been given a chance to enjoy life until the Bridgertons took in Posy after Sophie, Posy's stepsister, married Benedict. Benedict & Sophie (but really Posy) - A nice conclusion to the 'good' stepsister that is just as over the top and ridiculous as love at first sight should be. Bit of fatphobia going on though, which I wasn't a fan of.

After I was done with the series, however, I received hundreds of questions from readers about the Bridgertons and what happened to them later in their lives. So I decided to give all of the main characters an update in what I call “2nd Epilogues.” These stories, originally available as e-shorts, have now been collected into The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After, along with a bonus novella about Violet, called “Violet in Bloom.” En el segundo epílogo de Buscando esposa pasaremos un mal momento durante el parto de Lucy, con unas complicaciones que pueden empañar un momento tan feliz para la familia.

Colin & Penelope - more an involved discussion of 'that' secret and how Eloise finds out. Honestly, if this had been in Eloise's book I would have liked it so much more as we actually get a wedding party scene, which Quinn seems to overlook in all of her stories (weirdly). Would you marry a man you’d never met? If you were the adventurous and impulsive Eloise Bridgerton, you might! Three years after their marriage, Francesca remains childless. Despite the love she has with Michael and the family who supports her, Francesca is sad about not having her own children. Michael is just as upset, as he wants a family as much as Francesca does, and is sad every time she discovers she's not pregnant.

Her friend spots a man that neither recognize, and wonder if he's new to the ton. He makes his way to Violet, surprising her, and introduces himself as Edmund Bridgerton. She doesn't recognize him until he mentions the prank he played on her years before. Violet admits she tried to get revenge, but was caught.
