First Comes Scandal

First Comes Scandal

A Bridgerton Sequel, Rokesbys Book 4

by Julia Quinn

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

You can’t go home again... unless you’re going home with the Bridgertons, than you can and it will be great!

I like to think of this book in two parts: 1st - the family reunion and 2nd the creation of Georgie and Nicholas Rokesby as a unified couple.

The story definitely hooked me in at the beginning with the cameos and family drama you would expect! What would a Bridgerton prequel be without a glimpse at our favourite mother, Violet Bridgerton and with growing brood! As a reader of both the Bridgerton and the prequel series, I greatly enjoyed and appreciated the familiar faces the author brought back for us to catch up with. 

Throughout all the reunion time, we learn that Georgie has been ruined, but as we come to expect form our beloved Bridgertons, they would never fore her to marry the cur that ruined her. So what will Georgie do now? Here comes her godfather, Lord Manston (Nockolas’s father) to the rescue. He has the perfect plan: his son, Nicholas will marry his goddaughter, Georgie. Problem solved. BUT, they haven’t seen each other in years, they are practically brother and sister after growing you together and what ever happened to marrying for love???  After a few altercations and disagreements, we end up with the swift marriage of convenience between Georgie Bridgerton and Nicholas Rokesby. Now they must find a way to make this marriage work… and perhaps find love in the process.

Georgie and Nicholas are both the younger siblings in their families, I loved how their friendship and marriage allows both of them to come into their full potential. Their love story was fun and sweet and as usual, Julia Quinn delivers all the feels!

First Comes Scandal by Julia Quinn is scheduled to release April 21st, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Avon Romance through Edelweiss+. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

While investigating his lead he he discovers that his prime suspect died just days after the stage coach robbery and is the tow’s local hero… not only that, he has left behind a beautiful widow and 2 children. Ellie-May is no stranger to public scorn, as the daughter of an outlaw , she knows what the Rangers accusations against her deceased husband will do to her family and children. For the sake of her family, she will do anything to protect them and that includes keeping secrets and resisting the Rangers charms!  This was fun story. I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me!  ...
