Book Review By Latorsha Jackson
Romancing Mister Bridgerton by Julia Quinn

Romancing Mister Bridgerton, the fourth book of the Bridgerton series, tells the story of how Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton learn to love one another. Penelope has loved Colin since she was fifteen but she has been overlooked by him (and much of Regency society) because of her ill-fitting clothes, her weight, and her tacturn ways. Sick of not being taking seriously, Colin starts to travel away from England in hopes of finding something to do other than going to parties. Yet, after a trip abroad, Colin returns to London to find that Penelope has her own secrets. Will their secrets and the efforts of society matchmakers be too much to overcome? Or will Colin find love with a woman he thought he knew everything about?
