I "Love" To Be "Wicked," And So Do the Bridgertons!

I finished off  Eloise's book in Julia Quinn's "Bridgerton" series earlier today.  I liked seeing the relationship between Eloise and Sir Phillip Crane blossom from a friendship born out of impetuousness and misery to a passionate love affair that refused to be dimmed by the antics of  Phillip's children from his first marriage (to a woman who happened to be related to Eloise.)  Marina, Eloise's cousin, never seemed to truly love Phillip.  In fact, she attempted suicide at least once.  Her death left Phillip to raise their twins, Oliver & Amanda, alone.  However, they were absolutely very ill-behaved!  Eloise, having grown up with 7 siblings, knew exactly how to handle them.  Notwithstanding, the children did manage to inflict a minor injury upon her.  (Read the book if you want to know what happened!)  Having been satisifed with Eloise's story, I shall continue my "journey" through the "Bridgerton" series with "When He Was Wicked." (Francesca Bridgerton's story).  

In every life there is a turning point.  A moment so tremendous, so sharp and breathtaking, that one knows one's life will never be the same.  For Michael Stirling, London's most infamous rake, that moment came the first time he laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton.  After a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as tyey chased him of allowing himselft to be caught but never permitting his heart to become engaged, he took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and hard into love it was a wonder he managed to remain standing.  Unfortunately for Michael, however, Francesca's surname was to remain Bridgerton for a mere 36 hours longer--the occasion of their meeting was, lamentably, a supper celebrating her imminent wedding to his cousin.  But that was then...Now Michael is the earl and Francesca is free, but still she thinks of his as nothing other than her dear friend and confidant.  Michael dares not speak to her of his love...until one dangerous night, when she steps innocently into his arms and passion proves stronger that even the most wicked of secrets... I suspect that it is no secret how eager I am to embark of this "Journey Through A Book!"
