Quinn does write very fun and witty characters even if the situations and beliefs that they talk themselves into are a wee bit much. Anthony, the eldest of the 8 Bridgerton children and holding the title, is traumatized by the loss of his father early in his life. He decides that as an old man of 29, he should marry but creates a rule that he must not love the woman he marries. Hearing that Edwina Sheffield is the lady of the season, he decided she will do even if it requires approval from her almost spinster older sister Kate. Edwina is beautiful and a lovely person but Kate has some spunk and personality and a fun Corgi named Newton. She has thoroughly decided that such a Rake as Anthony could not do for her sister and the challenge is set.
Kate and Anthony were fun with good banter and I quite enjoyed all the interactions between them and the families. Their personal hang ups were a bit much but not the worst barriers to the happily ever after. I am intrigued to see how the other siblings get on so I may continue to read the series now and then and especially in preparation for the Netflix series to continue.
Although she will never be Jane Austen, Julie Quinn does have a talent for writing some witty banter. But the Bridgerton family is what made this a keeper series for me and many others.
