Quinn shares the death of Sir Phillip's wife which leaves him a widower and single parent to eight-year-old twins. He and Eloise strike up a friendship, and he proposes a meeting to discuss a possible marriage. Eloise, being, well, Eloise decides to leave home in the middle of the night and arrive unannounced at Sir Philip's country estate.
The tale that unfolded was filled with the humor one comes to expect when you think of Quinn and the lively, if not unruly Bridgertons. I will be the first to admit I didn't much care for Sir Philip. I felt sorry for him, yes, but the man was an arse that was until, well, he wasn't. You'll have to discover that for yourself.
A mischief set of eight-year twins added fun to the mix as Eloise tried to figure out Sir Philip and decide whether to marry him. Of course, she didn't think anything through, and I am quite sure her brothers have different ideas.
I enjoyed the tale that unfolded from the pranks to the impossible Sir Philip. Eloise is a headstrong heroine who made me laugh, and Quinn did a lovely job of bringing me around when it came to Philip. The man has not had an easy time of it, and words certainly aren't his strong suit.
The story was low on drama, thanks to the twins, the Bridgerton brothers and an unexpected situation. Quinn did this couple justice, and I enjoyed the complications brought on by Eloise's rash decisions and the twins.
Rosalyn Landor continues to grow on me as a narrator and has become the voice of the Bridgertons. Her portrayal of Eloise was spot on, and I think she got Sir Philip right. If you haven't started this series or want to jump in, the audiobooks are delightful and include the Epilogues which are delightful. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
