4/5Ha sido un placer después de muuuchos años reencontrarme con los Bridgerton。 Sin duda， los epilogos más hermosos fueron el de Francesa y la novela corta de Violet。 Me reí， me enamoré y un par de lágrimas solté。

Ha sido interesante saber un poco más de esta familia literaria， desde luego habían quedado muchas dudas tras finalizar la historia de cada una de las parejas y este conjunto de prólogos les da a todos un final más cerrado。

I sort of enjoyed this book the most in the entire series - Well， who doesn't like happy endings。 The concept of 2nd epilogues was truly fun and very well written。 I sort of enjoyed this book the most in the entire series - Well， who doesn't like happy endings。 The concept of 2nd epilogues was truly fun and very well written。 。。。more

If you decide to read each second epilogue after you read the appropriate book then be warned。 The Romancing Mr Bridgestone one has spoilers for To Sir Philip， With Love。

The rating is for Violet in Bloom， the only novella in this I hadn't read yet。It was sweet， but I wanted more of her life before she became a Bridgerton and more of her courtship with Edmund than a few pages。 We never got to know much about him as he died before the start of the series， and it would have been nice to spend more time with the legendary father of the 8。 The rating is for Violet in Bloom， the only novella in this I hadn't read yet。It was sweet， but I wanted more of her life before she became a Bridgerton and more of her courtship with Edmund than a few pages。 We never got to know much about him as he died before the start of the series， and it would have been nice to spend more time with the legendary father of the 8。 。。。more

Me ha gustado mucho tener la oportunidad de saber un poco más de cada una de las historias y de los personajes。Son todos los epílogos divertidos y emotivos。Pero sin duda alguna， la parte que más me ha gustado ha sido la última， la cuál narra una pequeña historia sobre la vida de Violet Bridgerton。 Me da mucha pena terminar （ahora sí） esta saga tan bonita。

This whole book was okay。 It was nice to see the characters get their happy endings， or more happy endings considering each book already has a prologue。 However， I HATED the story about Lucy and Gregory。 Other than Francesca， Lucy probably had one of the hardest times of all the female leads in getting together with her romantic counterpart。 She was literally abused by her uncle and was forced to be married by him too。 Then she watched him die at the hands of her boyfriend。 Now the author has de This whole book was okay。 It was nice to see the characters get their happy endings， or more happy endings considering each book already has a prologue。 However， I HATED the story about Lucy and Gregory。 Other than Francesca， Lucy probably had one of the hardest times of all the female leads in getting together with her romantic counterpart。 She was literally abused by her uncle and was forced to be married by him too。 Then she watched him die at the hands of her boyfriend。 Now the author has decided to force her to give birth 9 times and then go into a coma？？ It's almost misogynistic in a way and so necessarily depressing。 。。。more

Pour clôturer l'histoire de la famille Bridgerton， l'auteure a choisi de faire un tome supplémentaire avec une nouvelle dédiée à chaque membre de la famille （Violet compris ！）。Toutes les nouvelles ne se valent pas， mais j'ai apprécié de connaitre un peu plus de la vie maritale de chacun d'eux et d'avoir des réponses à certaines questions qui restaient en suspens。On y découvre s'y Francesca arrive finalement à avoir un enfant ou pas。 Eloïse apprend que Lady Whistledown n'est autre que sa meilleur Pour clôturer l'histoire de la famille Bridgerton， l'auteure a choisi de faire un tome supplémentaire avec une nouvelle dédiée à chaque membre de la famille （Violet compris ！）。Toutes les nouvelles ne se valent pas， mais j'ai apprécié de connaitre un peu plus de la vie maritale de chacun d'eux et d'avoir des réponses à certaines questions qui restaient en suspens。On y découvre s'y Francesca arrive finalement à avoir un enfant ou pas。 Eloïse apprend que Lady Whistledown n'est autre que sa meilleure amie。 Sophie aide Posy （sa demi-sœur） a trouvé l'amour à son tour。 Hyacinthe continue sa quête des diamants。 Simon ouvre enfin les lettres que son père lui a laissé。 Gregory assiste à la naissance des jumelles， accompagné de sa sœur Hyacinthe。 Et puis il y a la traditionnelle partie de Pall Mall où la seule règle semble être qu'il n'y a pas de règle ！ 。。。more

I really this a bit slowly。 A few at a time， and I would get hung up on some of the couples that weren't as interesting to me， yet I wanted to read just to spend some more time with this family。 One of the things this book did was re-affirm my love for Michael and Francesca。 I was afraid to read their epilogue as their book remains one of my all time favorites， but I also read it so long ago and would I feel the same way？ Yep， yep I did。 There is just a tone with their stories that makes me feel I really this a bit slowly。 A few at a time， and I would get hung up on some of the couples that weren't as interesting to me， yet I wanted to read just to spend some more time with this family。 One of the things this book did was re-affirm my love for Michael and Francesca。 I was afraid to read their epilogue as their book remains one of my all time favorites， but I also read it so long ago and would I feel the same way？ Yep， yep I did。 There is just a tone with their stories that makes me feel so many things。 I also loved the additional Violet story！ 。。。more

I already talked about each 2nd epilogue separately， because I read them after each respective novel， so just a few thoughts on “Violet in Bloom”。 Honestly after the last three books which I didn’t love， this was a lovely surprise。 It wasn’t perfect， but since I didn’t expect it to be， it was fine。 I love how the story started （childhood and pies） and then the ball… I have to say that after that， I was quite disappointed by the major time jumps。 I wouldn’t mind to see a little bit more of their I already talked about each 2nd epilogue separately， because I read them after each respective novel， so just a few thoughts on “Violet in Bloom”。 Honestly after the last three books which I didn’t love， this was a lovely surprise。 It wasn’t perfect， but since I didn’t expect it to be， it was fine。 I love how the story started （childhood and pies） and then the ball… I have to say that after that， I was quite disappointed by the major time jumps。 I wouldn’t mind to see a little bit more of their courting and happiness， before being thrown in that scene （bit like a cold shower…）。 But still， it was enjoyable， and I am finally done with this， so… win-win… 。。。more

I think this is a good example where the author caved in to the demand of his/her readers。 These second epilogues seem too forced and don’t really add much to the original stories。

Summary from all the series。。。This summarises well bits it's the epilogue from each of the books summarised as what happens next。 Could have put that up on the foreward， would have helped the reader decide on buying the book。 Summary from all the series。。。This summarises well bits it's the epilogue from each of the books summarised as what happens next。 Could have put that up on the foreward， would have helped the reader decide on buying the book。 。。。more

I enjoyed getting to listen to all of these stories together， and particularly enjoyed the stories that were new to me。 But I was really bothered by the fact that they'd all be re-recorded by a male narrator。 The female narrator had done a great job of voicing all the characters， regardless of gender， but this one kept making the women sound like young girls， and didn't seem capable of different voices for different female characters， they all sounded the same！ I enjoyed getting to listen to all of these stories together， and particularly enjoyed the stories that were new to me。 But I was really bothered by the fact that they'd all be re-recorded by a male narrator。 The female narrator had done a great job of voicing all the characters， regardless of gender， but this one kept making the women sound like young girls， and didn't seem capable of different voices for different female characters， they all sounded the same！ 。。。more

I really enjoyed seeing some of the questions I had from the ending of some of the books like with Hyacinth and Francesca。 The best part of the book however was the novella about the mother， Violet， which showed her relationship with her late husband and with her children over the years。 It was beautifully written and it was lovely to see such a prominent character throughout the series get time to shine。 This was the perfect way to wrap up the series。
