On the Way to the Wedding
by Julia Quinn
He has to get to the church before the woman he loves marries the wrong man!
Gregory Bridgerton had every reason to believe in love. After all, wasn’t he the seventh child out of eight to his famously in love parents? Hadn’t all seven of his siblings found happiness in marriage (even if it may not have started out that way)? He was only 28, so he had plenty of time to find her (even if his family was getting anxious about his unmarried state). He didn’t think it fair that his eldest brother, Viscount Bridgerton, should lecture him when he himself was so in love with his own wife. Gregory truly believed that he would look up one day and there she’d be, waiting for him to spend the rest of his life with her. And that was exactly how it happened. Except, she wasn’t waiting for him. In fact, her heart was already engaged elsewhere. So Gregory turns to her best friend, Lucy Abernathy, for advice and solace.
Lucy Abernathy doesn’t object to helping Gregory win her best friend...until she falls in love with him. This complicates things mightily, even as she continues to help him with her engaged best friend. It really wasn’t Hermione’s fault that men swarmed after her, and she certainly did nothing to encourage their efforts. Besides, Lucy was engaged herself – a match created by her father and having nothing to do with Lucy’s own opinion on the matter. But the time she spends with Gregory only proves how perfect they would be together, and how dismal her own match really is.
When Gregory finally realizes that Lucy is the person he is supposed to be with, he has to make sure to get to the church on time, to make sure she doesn’t spend it with somebody else. The last book in the Bridgerton series is the least impressive. Julia Quinn is an excellent writer, so the book is not devoid of her trademark wit, but it is decidedly less thrilling than the other seven. Perhaps it is that Gregory did not have enough of a presence in the first novels. It’s still worth a read, though.
