She’s one of those people who cannot go to sleep at night until she’s made sure her shoes are all lined up properly. She fixes things, fixes people – makes sure everything is tidy. Lucy likes things to be neat and orderly. Talking with her is like being with his sisters – but not quite. Gregory genuinely likes Lucy she’s friendly, honest, open, and comfortable to be with. She doesn’t consider herself to be romantic, never expected to fall in love, and so has always accepted her fate without demur.Īs Lucy and Gregory get to know each other during the house party, they become friends. Lord Haselby is nice enough and Lucy is willing enough. Their families have had an understanding for years and have just been waiting for Lucy to grow up before making it official, something that she expects to happen very soon now that she is about to embark on her first Season.
Lucy is almost engaged to the son of an earl. Hermione is in love with her father’s secretary, and, believing that Hermione is merely infatuated and knowing how completely unsuitable and impossible such an alliance is, Lucy determines to help Gregory win Hermione. Lucy is used to seeing men make fools of themselves over Hermione and she is ready to write Gregory off as just another supplicant, but he seems different somehow, more sincere in his admiration of Hermione than the rest. Her best friend is Lady Lucinda Abernathy, also a very beautiful woman, though any woman standing next to Hermione would be put in the shade. She is also in love with someone else and treats every other man with a distant politeness. She is stunningly beautiful and leaves dazed and slack-jawed men in her wake. Unfortunately, she is also the object of every man’s affection. The object of his affection is Hermione Watson. Arriving late to a house party at his brother Anthony’s country home, he sees the back of a woman’s neck across the proverbial crowded room and it happens.
It is as if he put his life on hold until this great, cataclysmic event occurs before settling into a profession and a calling. Gregory Bridgerton has always believed in love, has always known that he would fall in love and marry and be happy – how could he not, with the examples of his seven brothers and sisters before him? He has waited his entire life to fall in love and been pretty aimless in the meantime.
But something went terribly wrong on the way to the ending. On the Way to the Wedding, the final entry in Julia Quinn’s popular Bridgerton series, started off with a great attention-grabbing scene and settled in to an enjoyable, solid B read. To celebrate the arrival of Netflix’s Bridgerton, AAR is running, in reading order, our reviews of the original nine books in the series.
