About this listen

The sixth novel in Julia Quinn's globally beloved and best-selling Bridgerton Family series, set in Regency times and now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix. Welcome to Francesca's story....

In every life, there is a turning point. A moment so tremendous, so sharp and breathtaking, that one knows one’s life will never be the same. For Michael Stirling, London’s most infamous rake, that moment came the first time he laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton.

After a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they chased him, of allowing himself to be caught but never permitting his heart to become engaged, he took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and hard into love it was a wonder he managed to remain standing. Unfortunately for Michael, however, Francesca’s surname was to remain Bridgerton for only a mere 36 six hours longer - the occasion of their meeting was, lamentably, a supper celebrating her imminent wedding to his cousin.

But that was then.... Now Michael is the earl and Francesca is free, but still she thinks of him as nothing other than her dear friend and confidant. Michael dares not speak to her of his love...until one dangerous night, when she steps innocently into his arms, and passion proves stronger than even the most wicked of secrets....

Critic reviews

"Julia Quinn's Bridgerton books take all of the classic tropes we know and love...and gives them a thoroughly modern twist. I can't focus on anything else." (Stylist)

The story was good and the love scenes were believable but it slowed down alot at the end.

good read

There was a lot of emotional internal dialogue about loss and love and what a marriage should be. I really hope in the adaptation they will keep it and struggles of infertility that are more and more common nowadays

One of the most challenging in the series

From knowing Francesca‘s story, or at least a little bit he gets between Books or one and five, I was very intrigued to see where her storyline would go. She was already married, over the moon happy, so what else could possibly happen for her to get her own story? Well, her husband died. Her happily ever after ended. And her being so young and still very eligible was back on the market. I think the intrigue comes in from having someone so close to you, but yet they were so far out of reach due to them wanting to be a gentleman. Can a woman have more than one love of their live in one lifetime? Does the Familia seem a little too close to home? So far, I’ve really enjoyed every single Bridgerton story and this one was no different. The romance. The intrigue. The happy ending.

Love, sadness, love

the storyline is very easy to figure out, but it was a really enjoyable read.

Love it!

The main characters were very boring. I can’t find just one charm of them. Moreover, the writer didn’t bring others Bridgerton to lift up the mood. Ms F Bridgerton lived far away from her family as always.

Less wicked in the series

I loved this one a lot. Heartbreaking, sweet and hot in all the right ways. Nothing is likely to beat Colin and Penelope, but this was very much equal to Anthony and Benedict.

I can't wait to see which Bridgerton love story I will want to listen to next!

Really good love story!
