With the continued popularity of Quinn’s book series ‘Bridgerton’ transformed for television on Netflix, we take a look at some of our favourite books that the author has written.
One of our absolute favourite books is the story of Harry and Olivia whose connection starts unexpectedly when he suspects that she is a spy and she believes that he killed his fiancee – but as we soon learn misunderstandings can lead to something quite different. It really is laugh out loud funny in many ways as well as being wonderfully romantic in all the right ways too.
As part of the Bridgerton series (and the next one to shown on Netflix next year), this book covers Francesca’s story and how she deals with moving forward in her life in the wake of tragedy. What is lovely to see is the way in which grief is dealt with and how it can impact on moving forward in life and changes perceptions. There is real emotional depth to this story.
Anyone reading Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie’s story will instantly pick up on the fairytale vibes that show up throughout the way in which the story unfolds. It has charm and gentle romance, with just hints of forbidden love that keep the reader invested in the way in which it all unfolds.
This book really plays on the hate to love nature of relationships is a familiar story trope but it is uncovered through the story of Hugh and Sarah here to hilarious effect as they learn that first impressions aren’t always correct…
This second book in The Smythe-Smith Quartet, features all of the classic details of a hero trying to rescue the heroine – but not realising that she has secrets of her own. It is irresistible because of the way in which you gradually find out details about Anne’s life and how she came to be in the situation she is in. There is more than one hint of sadness and you can see why her and Daniel forge a connection…
Minx has plenty to recommend it because it involves an independent woman Henrietta trying to outwit her guardian William Dunford who on meeting her wants to help her become a lady and introduce her to society – not realising the consequences of doing so. The clash of personalities are brilliantly highlighted and at the same time they bring out different sides to each other that is quite endearing.
