After the last couple duds, I probably wouldn’t have continued with the series except that these came in a 3-pack so I already had this one. But this one was as good as the first few Bridgerton novels. And I appreciated that Francesca was a widow since it broke the normal Bridgerton formula (i.e., the woman is always a naive virgin and he's always a reformed rake) (well, he's still a rake in this one but at least she's not a virgin). We also spend about half the book in Scotland, which is a nice change from the Ton. It was nice to finally get to know Francesca, and Michael is one of the least toxic male leads we've seen so far (though he's still a little toxic...). This one is probably the best title too. It was a fun, quick read! I'll probably read the last couple of siblings at least just to finish out the series.
