To Sir Phillip, with love

Sir Phillip knew that Eloise Bridgerton was a spinster, and so he'd proposed, figuring that she'd be homely and unassuming, and more than a little desperate for an offer of marriage. Except . . . she wasn't. The beautiful woman on his doorstep was anything but quiet, and when she stopped talking long enough to close her mouth, all he wanted to do was kiss her . . . and more.
Did he think she was mad? Eloise Bridgerton couldn't marry a man she had never met! But then she started thinking . . . and wondering . . . and before she knew it, she was in a hired carriage in the middle of the night, on her way to meet the man she hoped might be her perfect match. Except . . . he wasn't. Her perfect husband wouldn't be so moody and ill-mannered, and while Phillip was certainly handsome, he was a large brute of a man, rough and rugged, and totally unlike the London gentlemen vying for her hand. But when he smiled . . . and when he kissed her . . . the rest of the world simply fell away, and she couldn't help but wonder . . . could this imperfect man be perfect for her?

Finished this last night - what to say.. somehow I am more comfortable
with the Quinn books when the hero is male.. don't know why, but I don't
like it too much when there is a heroine.. and this being me a female, too ;-)
But I have to admit, I had my problems with Phillip, too. Some of his attutides,
behaviour and thoughts weren't exactly nice /understandable.
So all in all easy to read, different story from the other Brigerton sequels but not one of
my favourites!
Edit: and off it went - today - 13.12.16 - to Greece...
Have fun with Phillip and Eloise!

I have just received this book through a kind RABCK of Kiki66, along with a beautiful photo of the remarkable interior of a splendit church (who will act as a nice bookmark!).
With great surprise I have realised that the book is a beautiful hardcover that you love to handle and read its pages, which increased my fondness even more.
Dear Kiki I appreciate your generous offer, and I am impatient to start reading!
