We all know lust isn’t the thing that will sustain the long term healthy behavior, especially with characters who are suddenly seduced into good behavior to get to the altar. Their lust seems to always be the final emotion that helps them overcome their behavioral deficiencies, yet that reiterates their ineptitude at self awareness and humility. However, by this fourth book I find myself continually annoyed at how all the female characters are painted somewhat pathetically, woefully enamored by their male counterparts with painfully deep insecurities about their worth, while the male counterparts vacillate between arrogant, entitled and petulant with little to no remorse or self-awareness after they threaten violence or man-handle their partners when they “misbehave”. Rosalyn Landor is equally an incredible actor. Julia Quinn knows she’s brilliantly interwoven the large Bridgerton family romances into a series of books where we get glimpses into the “after ever after” and keep us coming back to see live behind the curtain. I am admittedly completely addicted to this series.
