Romancing Mister Bridgerton: Penelope & Colin's Story, The Inspiration for Bridgerton Season Three (Bridgertons, 4)

A New York Times Bestseller

The inspiration for season three of BRIDGERTON, a series created by Shondaland for Netflix, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn: the story of Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington in the fourth of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family.

COLIN AND PENELOPE'S STORY

Penelope Featherington has secretly adored her best friend's brother for . . . well, it feels like forever. After half a lifetime of watching Colin Bridgerton from afar, she thinks she knows everything about him, until she stumbles across his deepest secret . . . and fears she doesn't know him at all.

Colin Bridgerton is tired of being thought of as nothing but an empty-headed charmer, tired of the notorious gossip columnist Lady Whistledown, who can't seem to publish an edition without mentioning him. But when Colin returns to London from a trip abroad, he discovers nothing in his life is quite the same--especially Penelope Featherington! The girl who was always simply there is suddenly the girl haunting his dreams. When he discovers that Penelope has secrets of her own, this elusive bachelor must decide . . . is she his biggest threat-- or his promise of a happy ending?

This took me longer to finish than expected but still enjoyable. I think Penelope and Collins book is tied with Benedict’s and Sophie’s book for my favorite.
Now that I’m done, I get to finally watch season 3 of Bridgerton!

Friends to lovers is my favourite trope and whilst Penelope and Colin aren't exactly friends to lovers, as Colin has barely noticed Penelope until the events of this book, the pair still embody all the emotions and pining required for a well written friends to lovers plot. While there are some moments, mostly from Colin's end, that had me raising my eye in disbelief, the pair were still incredibly sweet to one another. They have a very well written dynamic and they make for a well written and somewhat relatable couple.
