Going Back To "Bridgerton" To See About "Romancing Mister Bridgerton"

 Tired of watching the same sitcom reruns over again, I decided to spend some of the evening reading.  I finished "An Offer From A Genteleman," the third book in Julia Quinn's "Bridgerton" series, today.  It was somewhat reminiscent of  Cinderella, with the romance between Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Beckett.  Araminta truly was written in the character of the evil stepmother.  Whew!  I hated her for the way she treated Sophie!  Her daughter wasn't much better, up until the end of the story; Posy redeemed herself nicely  Mercifully, Araminta wasn't written into every page of the story!  I think in this book, readers got to see the romantic side of Violet, the matriarch of the Bridgerton clan.  Hoping to see more of that in the next book, "Romancing Mister Bridgerton."

 Penelope Featherington has secretly adored her best frien'ds 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 ast all.  

Colin Bridgerton is tired of being thought of as nothing but an empty-headed charmer and tired of the notorious gossip columnist Lady Whistledown, who can't seem to publish an edition without mentioning him.  But when Colin returns to London from a trip abroad, he discovers nothing in his life is quite the same--especially Penelope Featherington!  The girl who was always simply there is suddenly the girl haunting his dreams.  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?  Threat or promise?  There's only one way for me to find out as I embark on yet another "Journey Through A Book!"
