Book Review By Sharren Khoo
Romancing Mister Bridgerton by Julia Quinn

Bridgerton Series: The Bridgertons named their 8 children in alphabetical order.

It was a case of fireworks for Colin Bridgerton. It just suddenly dawned on him how he had always depended on Penelope's friendship and enjoyed their blander immensely. It was like someone had finally opened his eyes and he could not keep his desire for her at bay. For Penelope, it seemed she had loved him forever. She was close to the Bridgertons and best friend to Eloise, Colin's younger sister. She always thought that she, a wallflower, would remain a permanent spinster. An afternoon alone with Colin changed all that, as she could not keep herself from asking him to kiss her. It took just one kiss for the fire in their hearts to be set aflame.

Penelope had discovered and urged Colin in his knack for writing (something he had hidden from others). While Penelope's secret was finally revealed to Colin. She was Lady Whistledown (writer of society's gossip page)! Colin was desperate to keep her secret under lock and key and demanded her to end her role and her writings. Her hidden identity and the rest of society would ultimately stand between a future of their own. Penelope had to make him understand that Lady Whistledown was part of her and if he loved her, he would accept her, flaws and all or they would never had a chance at their happily-ever-after.
