Book Description

Publication Date: July 2002 | Series: Avon Romance

Penelope Featherington has secretly adored her best friend's brother for . . . well, it feels like forever. After half a lifetime of watching Colin Bridgerton from afar, she thinks she knows everything about him, until she stumbles across his deepest secret . . . and fears she doesn't know him at all.

Colin Bridgerton is tired of being thought nothing but an empty-headed charmer, tired of everyone's preoccupation with the notorious gossip columnist Lady Whistledown, who can't seem to publish an edition without mentioning him in the first paragraph. But when Colin returns to London from a trop aboard he discovers notyhing in his life is quite the same--especially Penelope Featherington! The girl haunting his dreams. But when he discovers that Penelope has secrets of her own, this elusive bachelor must decide . . . is she his biggest threat--or his promise of a happy ending?

5.0 out of 5 stars The Mystery Of Lady Whistledown Intensifies... 26 July 2002
By Bumbobe VINE™ VOICE
Format:Mass Market Paperback
For those following the Bridgerton series by Ms Quinn, this tale is the fourth story about the seven Bridgerton series, but sibling number three, Mr Colin Bridgerton third child after Anthony, Benedict and before Daphne (The children have been named according to the alphabet from A to H). Penelope Featherington has been in love with the rather charming Colin for what seems like forever. Not that he noticed, having skipped out the country whenever he felt like it to get away from the label of third son of a viscount and his only chance of recognition is being mentioned in the notorious gossip column written by the mysterious Lady Whistledown as the most charming man in town - an opinion she often publishes! When Colin returns home to London after one of his many trips around Europe, he finds that nothing much has changed. Everything is still the same, society are still preocupied with the Whistledown papers, he is still metioned in them as the charming gentleman, but he begins to see Penelope in a new light. Then Penelope discovers Colin deepest secret and fear of being a nobody, but then Penelope harbours huge secrets of her own as Colin soon finds out! There is more to her than just the wall flower spinster and best friend of his sister, Eloise (subject of the next Bridgerton book). Then, just as Colin and Penelope's relationship begins to tenetatively blossom, Society is in an uproar as an influential society matron decides to offer one thousand pounds to the person who can unmask the mysterious Lady Whistledown to end the ennuii that has been fashionable of late and everything else is overshadowed by the frenzy of suspicions and rumours flying about who is Lady Whistledown. Can Colin and Penelope find their feet and feelings for each other admidst all the chaos?... Read more ›

A lot of wit and humour in the characters. I could not help rooting for the hero and heroine of the story; they were well-matched.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good story but somehow not quite gripping enough 10 Dec 2006
By Helen Hancox TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The first couple of paragraphs of this book are fantastic - light-hearted, amusing, witty - and I settled down for a gripping and brilliant read. Sadly I didn't get entirely that. This was a good book, like Ms Quinn's others, but it wasn't quite as good as some and because of that I was disappointed.

This is the fourth book in the series (following "The Duke And I", "The Viscount Who Loved Me" and "An Offer From A Gentleman") and is the story of Colin Bridgerton, third son, and Penelope Featherington. Penelope gets mentioned in most of the other books and in fact there is one scene in "An Offer From A Gentleman" which features Penelope and Colin and is repeated in this book.

In some ways I really liked the premise of this story - it's the good old friends who know each other for years and years and then somehow find themselves falling in love and getting married. It's so nice for the slightly dumpy and apparently dull woman to get the dishy man - most Regencies have beautiful debutants striding onto the scene and ensnaring wonderful men instantly. Penelope waits 12 years for her man - but she gets him!

Penelope is a great character in this book. She's not particularly beautiful but she has brains and wit and somehow in this book she discovers a bit more self-confidence or gumption to change her life a little. Colin also is trying to step out of the shadows of his two older brothers and find a purpose in life - these interactions were well drawn and believable. In fact it's in character drawing that Julia Quinn excels and I very much appreciate the way in which her large cast of characters all have their own behaviours.... Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars In my opinion, the best Julia Quinn yet! 6 Jan 2003
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
It's very rare that I read a book and enjoy it so much that I read it again straight away, but I found this novel engaging from the very start. Firstly, it was lovely to have a heroine who isn't beautiful and gifted and the toast of the town, but can still be loved by a man who could have his pick of the ton. Secondly, if you've read the other books you've really got to know Penelope - she's been there in the background throughout the series - and it's great to find out more about her. Thirdly, I loved the fact that Julia Quinn brought in characters from Regency novels by Stephanie Laurens and Lisa Kleypas. It makes the world of the Regency seem more real somehow and almost makes you feel as if the Bridgertons, the Cynsters and other characters in this imaginary world could actual exist in one society.
This novel follows the underdog - the intelligent, but undervalued Penelope, who you can't help sympathising with and pitying in the other novels. I've always suspected she had more depth than the others and this novel proves it. She's much more than a spoilt,two-dimensional debutante and it is the diversity of the character that makes her seem so human. It's no surprise that Penelope gets her man - it wouldn't be a romance if she didn't - but what I liked is that she also gets her revenge on those who've treated her dismissively and cruelly in the past, which is - I am sure - something all of us would love to do!
It's witty and intelligent - like the heroine herself - and doesn't overindulge in the excessive bodice-ripping which often gets in the way of a good story.
If you've enjoyed novels by Stephanie Laurens, Marion Chesney etc.... Read more ›
