Review: Romancing Mister Bridgerton by Julia Quinn

Romancing Mister Bridgerton by Julia Quinn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This would probably be the best book in the Bridgerton series so far.

It is the love story of the 3rd Bridgerton Son Colin and Penelope Featheringon.

Penelope was always seen as the girl next door, she was practically like a sister to Colin, growing up as family friends, they were very familiar with one another and their respective families.

Penelope has had a crush on Colin since the day she first met him, but her love was unrequited. Colin was a dreamer, he travelled overseas, was always looking for the next adventure, he was charming, sophisticated, talented, intelligent and good-looking. He was every girls dream.

Penelope comes across as shy, reserved, self conscious of her looks and was always the last asked to dance at the Ton balls.

The love story of Colin and Penelope is exceedingly romantic and beautiful, I finished this book in only a few days. It is a book that you can not put down.

Review: Love Objects by Emily Maguire

Love Objects by Emily Maguire
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Such an incredible book, by a wonderfully talented Aussie writer.
Nic is a Sydney woman, a check out chick, never married, no kids, but has a very close relationship with her Niece Lena. In fact, Lena is like a daughter to Nic. They meet for coffee every weekend, to catch up.
Lena is a Uni student, trying to fit in, and find her own path in life.
Both of these ladies have their own secret lives, that they keep to themselves, and have not let, even the closest of friends and family in on their secrets.
Unfortunately for Nic her life comes crashing down around her when she has a fall at home. Luckily Lena finds her at home, and gets the assistance she needs, but is it the assistance that Nic wants?

This is an incredible book, it explores topics of hoarding, sex tapes, prison, betrayal, trust, and love. It shows life as an Australian.

The language is an eye opener, it is not something to be read in most books, but it helps portray the story well, to the point you can really feel and understand the story teller and the characters.
