Romancing Mister Bridgerton (edit title)

• Rated 3 stars

“Penelope Featherington is a bashful wallflower,
Who when faced with polite society will cower
In a corner and pretend she doesn’t want to dance
(When actually poor Penny never even gets a chance).

She’s been in love for ages and ages
But unfortunately never quite manages
To catch the eye of her objet du desir-
Colin Bridgerton, to whom every mama aspires

To snare for their own insipid offspring
Because among the London bachelors Colin is king.
Colin B has the charm, he has the looks, he has the money.
But hark! It appears that there’s something fishy.

“Delightful romance. Colin Bridgerton is our reluctant hero. Penelope Featherington is our heroine. They have grown up together as good friends. Penelope however holds a secret love for Colin. She is the ultimate wallflower. No one even seems to notice her at all. Colin just thinks of her as his sister's best friend. This is such a cute story.”

“Super Duper romantic!!! I loved the characters of Colin and Penelope. Quinn did a great job into making the spinster story differently to make it more interesting. One can't get enough of this book. I myself can't stop reading it for so many times......”

“When she was sixteen, Penelope fell in love with her friend's brother. But for the plain and gauche girl, the one always standing at the perimeter of the ballroom, yearning to be asked to dance, but bravely pretending she didn't care, it seemed that she was destined to watch him from afar. Then twelve years after longing for the one man who haunted her maidenly dreams, Penelope's secret prayer would finally be answered when she finally catches the eye of the charming Bridgerton brother Colin.
For Colin Bridgerton, she has always been just Penelope. The extremely shy wallflower who been a constant in his life, a permanent fixture at all Bridgerton gatherings due to her close friendship with his sister. Yet twelve years later and he starts noticing things about her - her wit and intelligence, and even how big and expressive her brown eyes are. And for the very first time, Penelope is no longer the awkward girl who simply happened to be "just there". For the handsome and legendary charmer Bridgerton number three, it matters that Penelope Featherington, the woman who is starting to stir feelings deep within him, is there.

This book is another wonderful addition to the delightful series. I was so happy to see Colin and Penelope end up together. I thought it was just wonderful getting to know more about Penelope, learning about the intelligent and witty woman hiding inside the shy spinster whom the notorious Lady Whistledown has made a laughing stock of in her Society column. And Colin, of course, is just heavenly - always so charming and sexy. I already liked him from AN OFFER FROM A GENTLEMAN. It is lovely to see how he finally opens his eyes and notices Penelope.
I loved Hyacinth, her witty remearks are wonderful to read . Dying to read her story. And finally the infamous Lady Whistledown is uncovered.

“This is my absolute favorite Bridgerton novel. It's hard to say who I like better, Colin, the handsome, humorous third son with an insatiable wanderlust and a need to prove himself, or Penelope Featherington, the invisible, under-appreciated "ugly duckling" of the Featherington family. But after months abroad Colin finally comes face to face with a new, older Penelope who has blossomed into a beautiful, witty, swan. It's a new spin on the Ugly Duckling story that will make your heart beat just a little faster. A benefit of any of the Bridgerton books is that you get to revisit old characters while watching others grow up.”
