Review: In the final installment of the Bridgerton series, the youngest son Gregory Bridgerton finally finds love. When Gregory sees the beautiful Hermione Watson, he is convinced she is the one and solicits the help of her best friend, Lady Lucinda Abernathy, to help win her over. But in the process, the engaged Lucy falls for him, and Gregory finally comes to his senses and realizes it's actually Lucy that's the one for him. Now, Gregory must risk it all to stop Lucy from marrying the wrong man. 

A solid Quinn novel but the storyline was a bit convoluted. Lots of twists and turns here, folks. First, he loves her! And then he loves her! And at first, she's almost engaged! But then she's really engaged! But no, she's decided to call it off! But wait, no she secretly won't call it off! But he thinks she still will! Gregory and Lucy just need to be more thoughtful and intentional in their actions and work on their communication skills. But otherwise, a very charming love story with very likable leads that I was rooting for the whole time. There is some suspension of disbelief required in the whole sneaking around and into houses in the dead of night, because we all know no suitable maiden or true gentleman of the time period would have dared to do such a thing, but I'll allow it to pass in the name of true love. 

Sad to see this series come to an end! But gratified (as is their mother), to see them all married off and in true love matches.
