The Other Miss Bridgerton by Julia Quinn

Poppy Bridgerton – cousin to Billie and niece of Viscount and Lady Bridgerton – has had two London seasons and has not, so far, found a man she wants to marry. He’s also – unbeknownst to his family – a spy. Handsome, good-humoured, and well-liked by all, he’s a convivial chap with a sharp mind, a quick wit, and a reputation as the family jokester. Andrew is the third brother and, when we met him in the first book, he was on leave from the Navy while he recovered from a broken arm. In the first book, Because of Miss Bridgerton, Sybilla (Billie) Bridgerton married George Rokseby in the second, the story focused on the next Rokesby brother, Edward, an officer serving in North America. The Other Miss Bridgerton is the third instalment in Julia Quinn’s series of novels featuring members of the previous generation of Bridgertons and their neighbours and long-standing family friends the Rokesbys. But when Andrew’s secret is revealed, will his declaration of love be enough to capture her heart…? Rating: B. On the high seas, their war of words soon gives way to an intoxicating passion. 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.

But no, she is very real-and his duty to the Crown means he’s stuck with her.Ĭan two wrongs make the most perfect right? Surely, his imagination is getting the better of him. Setting sail on a time-sensitive voyage to Portugal, he’s stunned to find a woman waiting for him in his cabin. Known to society as a rascal and reckless privateer, Captain Andrew James Rokesby actually transports essential goods and documents for the British government. 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… While visiting a friend on the Dorset coast, Poppy is pleasantly surprised to discover a smugglers’ hideaway tucked inside a cave. Sadly, none of the fools from her London season qualify. Fiercely independent and adventurous, Poppy Bridgertonwill only wed a suitor whose keen intellect and interests match her own.
