Julia Quinn - The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After

ONCE UPON A TIME, A HISTORICAL ROMANCE AUTHOR CREATED A FAMILY… 

But not just any family. Eight brothers and sisters, assorted in-laws, sons and daughters, nieces and nephews, (not to mention an overweight corgi), plus an irrepressible matriarch who’s a match for any of them… These are the Bridgertons: less a family than a force of nature. Through eight bestselling novels, readers laughed, cried, and fell in love. But they wanted more. 

And so the readers asked the author… What happened next? Does Simon ever read his father’s letters? Do Francesca and Michael become parents? Who would win in a Pall Mall grudge match? Does “The End” really have to be the end? 

Now, with The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After, Julia Quinn delivers eight sexy, funny, and heartwarming “2nd epilogues,” plus a bonus story about none other than the wise and witty Violet Bridgerton herself. So get to know the Bridgertons all over again—because Happily Ever After is a whole lot of fun.


Sparrowgal's rating - 8/10

Sparrowgal's thoughts - Spoiler Alert!

This book is probably best read AFTER you have finished with Julia Quinn's Bridgerton series (and each book is delightfully different from each other) as it is a whole bunch of epilogues that slot in nicely with each stories.  Naturally I like some stories better than others - Francesca's story about being unable to have a child; Gregory's story where he nearly loses Lucy; Hyacinth's story with the lost jewels.  Violet's story at the end was a lovely touch and I wish she had a book all on her own, rather than just a short story.  Highly recommended for all Bridgerton fans, but not a book to be read on its own without the knowledge of the other books.
