The Bridgertons are his closest neighbors and he grew up running around the countryside with them, one even married his older brother. He’s charming, and fun to banter back and forth with, and he seems to be trying very hard to make her stay as easy as possible.Īndrew can’t believe he has a Bridgerton confined to his room.

Andrew presents a conundrum, as he is supposed to be the bad guy, but doesn’t act like a bad guy should. The only girl, raised with four brothers, Poppy is adventurous, competitive, and has a mind that is constantly thinking and working out mysteries. It had all the charm, wit, and wonderfully flawed, complex characters of the original series, and I simply adored this couple’s interactions with each other.

You guys, I really, really enjoyed this one. He is on a deadline, and not even a Bridgerton discovering his secret hiding place and becoming his unwilling guest, will delay him. When Poppy Bridgerton boards his ship (forcibly, and in a burlap sack) he has no choice but to take her with him on his next secret mission. When he is asked to “deliver” correspondences around Europe with no questions asked and to perform certain duties in certain situations when his country asks him to, he takes on the role of a merchant ship captain and, despite his family’s angst over his career choices, keeps the reasons why to himself. Which is how she finds herself aboard the Infinity as an unwanted, problematic captive to the mysterious privateer, Captain Andrew James.Īndrew loves his family and he loves his country. (He’s also a spy for the Crown, but no one knows that yet.) While visiting a friend in the last months of her confinement, Poppy goes exploring alone and happens upon a cave. Julia Quinn’s newest release features Poppy, a Bridgerton cousin from Somerset, and Andrew, the second to youngest Rokesby son, formerly of the Royal Navy, currently exploring the seas as a merchant ship’s captain. I loved the first book in the series, Because of Miss Bridgerton, felt kind of iffy about the second book, The Girl with the Make-Believe Husband, and went into this book with high hopes that the old Bridgerton magic would make an appearance. The Other Miss Bridgerton is the third installment of The Rokesbys, a prequel series featuring the previous generation of Bridgertons and their closest friends and neighbors, the Rokesbys.

He had made her happy, and that made him happy.
