Julia Quinn graces us with book 3 in the Rokesby series, THE OTHER MISS BRIDGERTON. This might be my
favorite in the series yet! THE OTHER
MISS BRIDGERTON is a charming and lively tale that kept me
happily enthralled throughout.
Poppy Bridgerton in an awesome heroine: she's smart, inquisitive, and
a generous heart. Poppy refuses to settle for a ho-hum society
marriage simply for the sake of being married. If she can't find a man
worthy of her mind and her passion, she'll stay a spinster bluestocking.
How excellent is that?!
Captain Andrew James Rokesby is a courier-cum-spy for His Majesty's
government, although not even his family knows it. Operating as a
privateer, he is forced to kidnap Poppy in order to protect vital
documents he must deliver to Portugal. Poppy is carted on board his
ship, where the enforced quarters cause her to fall in love with her
captor (as one does as a romance heroine, naturally!)
Despite the well-used plot, this story feels fresh. The witty
conversations are practically sparkling, and I highlighted a boatload of
excellent ripostes. I adore great dialogue, and Poppy and her captain
have snappy conversations in spades. Quinn's THE OTHER MISS BRIDGERTON is a satisfying
historical romance, giving the reader swashbuckling derring-do, witty
repartee, and a dreamy Happily Ever After.

and Rokesby families
She was in the wrong
place...
Fiercely independent and adventurous,
Poppy Bridgerton will only wed a suitor whose keen intellect
and interests match her own. Sadly, none of the fools from
her London season qualify. While visiting a friend on the
Dorset coast, Poppy is pleasantly surprised to discover a
smugglers’ hideaway tucked inside a cave. But her delight
turns to dismay when two pirates kidnap her and take her
aboard a ship, leaving her bound and gagged on the captain’s
bed…
He found her at the wrong
time...
Known to society as a rascal and
reckless privateer, Captain Andrew James Rokesby actually
transports essential goods and documents for the British
government. Setting sail on a time-sensitive voyage to
Portugal, he’s stunned to find a woman waiting for him in
his cabin. Surely, his imagination is getting the better of
him. But no, she is very real—and his duty to the Crown
means he’s stuck with her.
Can two wrongs make
the most perfect right?
When Andrew learns that
she is a Bridgerton, he knows he will likely have to wed her
to avert a scandal—though Poppy has no idea that he is the
son of an earl and neighbor to her aristocratic cousins in
Kent. On the high seas, their war of words soon gives way to
an intoxicating passion. But when Andrew’s secret is
revealed, will his declaration of love be enough to capture
her heart…?
