A funny thing happened....

Unlike most men of his acquaintance, Gregory Bridgerton believes in true love. And he is convinced that when he finds the woman of his dreams, he will know in an instant that she is the one. And that is exactly what happened. Except....

She wasn’t the one. In fact, the ravishing Miss Hermione Watson is in love with another. But her best friend, the ever-practical Lady Lucinda Abernathy, wants to save Hermione from a disastrous alliance, so she offers to help Gregory win her over. But in the process, Lucy falls in love. With Gregory! Except....

Lucy is engaged. And her uncle is not inclined to let her back out of the betrothal, even once Gregory comes to his senses and realizes that it is Lucy, with her sharp wit and sunny smile, who makes his heart sing. And now, on the way to the wedding, Gregory must risk everything to ensure that when it comes time to kiss the bride, he is the only man standing at the altar....

Title: least fave book in my fave series
Review: Not the best of bridgerton stories but still a great ending and sad to end the bridgerton series at all , as this is the last one I had to read. I had read hyacinths story before this one and this was sadly the last one. Sad to leave the Bridgerton world but very pleased with the series as a whole !

Title: The Bridgertons deserve better
Review: Brief Summary: Gregory Bridgerton is the last of the Bridgerton siblings to get married. Having seen his 7 siblings fall madly in love, he is a romantic at heart who definitely believes in true love. When he sees Hermione, he knows without a doubt that he has fallen in love-at-first-sight. However, he's baffled when she doesn't feel the same way and even imagines herself to be in love with someone else. Her friend Lucinda offers to help Gregory woo Hermione, but instead she falls in love with him. Hermione ends up marrying someone else, and Gregory realizes it doesn't bother him as much as it should, which leads him to the realization that he never loved her in the first place. A conversation or two later with Lucinda ("Lucy," as he calls her), and Gregory is now madly in love with Lucinda. But we are to believe it isn't flighty and frivolous like his infatuation with Hermione. No, it is true love...deep, gut-wrenching, eternal love. However, Lucy is engaged to be married. The papers are signed, and although her heart belongs to Gregory, duty calls her to marry another man. If she refuses, her brother and best friend face certain ruin. Whom will she choose?The Good: Julia Quinn is an exceptional author, and for this reason, even a book with such a weak plot as this one deserves at least 2.5 stars. A lesser writer could not have pulled it off. Although I knew right away how it would end, there were unpredictable moments that truly shocked me. Every book should contain a few surprises, and this one certainly does. Some of Quinn's heroines behave in a manner which is utterly inconsistent with the times, but I felt Lucy's behavior was characteristic with an earl's daughter. She's also unlike most other heroines. She isn't bold, daring, outspoken, and mysterious. She believes in order, loyalty, and duty above all else. I found her to be a realistic character.The Bad: Gregory falls in love twice...once with Hermione, and finally with Lucy. He believes in this lightning bolt recognition of true love which is absurd. (He fell in love with the back of Hermione's head, for crying out loud.) It was hard to take him seriously when he behaved like a lovesick pup after one glance at her. The main story here should have been the love story between Gregory and Lucy, however too much time was spent on his infatuation with Hermione and then his and Lucy's separation from each other. Quite simply, Gregory and Lucy were not together enough for their romance to really come alive on the page. You don't experience them falling in love, and that is what I love best about a romance. They rarely speak to one another (except about Hermione), and they just aren't given enough time for a real relationship to develop. One of the things I love best about her other books is the witty dialogue between the hero and heroine. It's missing from this book. There's no spark, no chemistry. They are lacking passion as well. (Yes, there is one steamy scene, but you wonder how they got there. There's no build up.) At the end, Lucy misleads Gregory. It was unforgivable and selfish for a character who is selflessly marrying a man she's not interested in to save her family.The Verdict: I would rate this book a solid 3 star rating. It's just OK. Having read 9 other works by Julia Quinn, I was tempted to give it only 2 stars, because I know she's capable of much more. If you're a fan of the Bridgertons, you'll most likely find yourself a bit disappointed that Ms. Quinn did not give the family the send-off they deserve.

Title: Will Gregory find love or heartache? Will Lucy find happiness in her arranged marriage?
Review: On the Way to the Wedding by Julia Quinn is the last of the eight Bridgerton children's stories.Will Gregory find love or heartache? Will Lucy find happiness in her arranged marriage?Lady Lucinda AbernathyLady Lucinda or Lucy to her friends is beautiful, funny, outgoing, and not afraid to be herself if she would just give herself the chance to shine. How Lucy thinks of herself:Lucy was, in almost every visible way, just a little bit less than Hermione. A little less blond. A little less slender. A little less tall. Her eyes were a little less vivid in color- bluish-gray, actually, quite attractive when compared with anyone other than Hermione, but that did her little good, as she never went anywhere without Hermoine.Lucy was a little bit less. Or perhaps, if one wanted to put a nicer sheen on it, she was simply not quite.I like Lucy, but she takes her duty and love for her family to the extreme. She should have spoken to her brother before agreeing to something she honestly didn't want to do. But alas, we wouldn't have our story then, would we?Mr. Gregory BridgertonGregory is the youngest Bridgerton son. He is separated from his brothers by three sisters. He is not the heir, but he is not without financial stability. Anthony takes care of his siblings. Gregory has been educated and is clothed like the gentleman he is, but he lacks ambition. He doesn't like to do anything without a purpose, and for now, his only goal is to find a wife and start a family.My thoughts on Gregory, in the beginning, he comes across as a spoiled young man. He doesn't listen to his family and just likes to party. However, he indeed grows, but he needs Lucy's love to help him become a man. Is that the way it works? I don't know, but that is how it is for Gregory.Kate BridgertonThis is the first time that we have seen Kate in a while. She throws a house party at Bridgerton Hall in Kent, where Lucy and Gregory meet. Kate helps chaperone some of the young ladies, but as you know, there is always a scandal at a house party. However, Kate helps Gregory see that there is more to Lucy than he realizes. So, if it weren’t for Kate, our heroine and hero may not have found each other.Four StarsI enjoyed this installment, but I found that Gregory is my least favorite Bridgerton. He seems to lack something that his brothers have; I couldn't quite nail it down. However, I was immediately on Lucy's side. My rating for On the Way to the Wedding by Julia Quinn is four stars. I do recommend this book and the series.I hope you have time to check out the Bridgerton series on Netflix too.Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of On the Way to the Wedding by Julia Quinn.Until the next time,~JenIf you would like to see other reviews like this one, check out BaronessBookTrove.com.
