Romancing Mister Bridgerton by Julia Quinn

Romancing Mister Bridgerton (Bridgertons, #4)

by Julia Quinn

Everyone knows that Colin Bridgerton is the most charming man in London . . .

Penelope Featherington has secretly adored her best friend's brother for...well, it feels like forever. After half a lifetime of watching Colin Bridgerton from afar, she thinks she knows everything about him, until she stumbles across his deepest secret...and fears she doesn't know him at all.

Colin Bridgerton is tired of being thought nothing but an empty-headed charmer, tired of everyone's preoccupation with the notorious gossip columnist Lady Whistledown, who can't seem to publish an edition without mentioning him in the first paragraph. But when Colin returns to London from a trip abroad he discovers nothing in his life is quite the same—especially Penelope Featherington! The girl haunting his dreams. But when he discovers that Penelope has secrets of her own, this elusive bachelor must decide...is she his biggest threat—or his promise of a happy ending?

I loved this book, but I lowered half a star on inconsistency; we spend half the book in Penelope's mind before we find out her Secret, but never once had her thoughts indicated as such. There is one thing as misdirection, and then there is something completely different as, for the shock value, neglecting the issue all together. She should've thought about Her Secret, or we should've never been in her POV when others were talking about it to see her reaction.
