Ok Julia

Julia Quinn is hands down, next to Tessa Dare, my favorite Regency Romance author. However, THIS is not what is up. I love the idea of the story line but this is my least favorite of them all. She owes me another book... Just saying ...
I truly hope she gets a nice check from this book because this was a definitely a pay the bills book! ... if I were an English Teacher this book would be exited into a short story. A lot of filler. Sort of a waste of a good plot as well. Julia you owe me!!!

Does not disappoint

Another great installment in a fantastic series. I only have to say that the road trip was a bit exhausting and could easily have been shortened especially regarding the cats. It went on a bit too long for pleasure. I also would’ve liked a bit more conflicts or climax for the couple to overcome to get to their happily ever after.It’s charming and witty and simply Julia Quinn. I did get tired of hearing about the cats on their trip. That did seem a bit exhausting. Also would have liked a bit more climax in the story before the happy ever ending.

Dull

I'm so disappointed in this book. It was well-written and well-performed, but it was boring. Nothing happened in this story, and there was no conflict to be found anywhere. When I reached the epilogue, I went back a couple of chapters to see if it had skipped a few, but it hadn't. it was rushed at the end, pretty much as soon as their feeling were established. I would've liked to have seen Georgie's interest grow into more than a mention here and there, because there seems to be more story in between the last chapter and the epilogue. I was tempted to return the book, but I love Quinn and Landor, so I'll take the loss and hope the next one is better.

Too much focus on a cat

I’ve listened to and read more than a dozen Julia Quinn novels and this is the only one I disliked. The story focuses on a cat so much that I almost decided not to finish the book. The only positive is that the female lead was very much an equal academically to the male lead. Not exactly academically since she didn’t have access to a formal higher education though

Boring!!

I’ve read a few Julia Quinn books and this was by far the most boring. Not much of a story line. Everything was stretched out. Could have been a quarter the length and still would have covered the same information.

Story missing. Not good Quinn.

Disappointing book. Having enjoyed Quinn's earlier Bridgerton novels, I was expecting an engaging story, witty dialog, and laughter. This book was boring. Sorry that I pre-ordered. Narrator is good.

Extremely disappointing

After reading the first three books of this series, I was excited for this booking thinking it would be the concluding book of the series...meaning it would give more info of their family members and a look into Edmund and Voilet's story. This was barely a love story, or even a story. Weak characters, weak banter, weak, story line. Worst Julia Quinn book I've read so far (and I've read over 10 of her books)

Quinn's Style But No Substance

I so looked forward to this Bridgerton prequel. And Quinn delivered her inimitable style and writing quality. But there is really no story here. As much as I enjoyed the heroine's antics with her rascally cat, that wasn't enough to make up for the lack of real content. I admire Quinn's skill but there is no there there (as Gertrude Stein might have said). A tremendous and total disappointment. I'll be wary of her future books and certainly won't pre-order any of them.

Well done

The voices were awesome and the book moved smoothly. Excellent job/prequel! Now I want to read the Bridgerton series!!!

Great story

Story is wonderful and shows how not all women were subservient to their husbands because of society.
