- Lady Danbury and Hyacinth’s weekly tea, in which Hyacinth reads scandalous romances involving cliffs.
- Hyacinth Bridgerton who thinks being compared to Lady Danbury as the highest compliment. I adored this feisty, determined, stubborn and outspoken young woman, even when she was wrong.
- Gareth St. Clair. One can not help but feel sorry for him even if he is stubborn and often inserts his foot directly into his mouth. He grew up at the hands of a father who confessed Gareth was a bastard and who demeaned him. I struggled with something he did to keep Hyacinth, but blame his poor self-esteem and doubts.
- The romance while fade to black was filled with sizzling chemistry, snark, witty banter and plenty of swoons. I confess I burst out laughing several times as these two conversed. Hyacinth is so stubborn, and he takes a while to realize he is madly in love with her.
- Time spent with Lady Danbury. I simply adored this old woman who says and does exactly what she wants. Don’t think for a moment she wasn’t meddling.
- The diary written in Italian proved to be fascinating as Hyacinth worked to translate the text. The resulting sleuthing provided quite the adventure.
- Simon Prebble provided a wonderful narration and captured the banter between this couple perfectly.
- The epilogues. I love Quinn’s epilogues and I finished this audio grinning from ear to ear.
