There's something so beautiful about Benedict wanting to be more than a Bridgerton...
Then voicing these feelings for the first time and only to Sophie, and Sophie being the first person who truly sees him for who he is...
To then Sophie getting angry because the family jokes about him and they don't seem to know him...
To finally the family understanding how unique Benedict is...
It's his love for Sophie that stood him apart 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
It even became THE love story of the Bridgerton family!!!
Excuse me while I cry 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I feel like at the end of Bridgerton season 3, or when Pen and Colin FINALLY marry, we'll see Phillip Crane at the Polin wedding, due to the fact that Colin and Phillip really hit it off and most likely became friends. So most likely at the wedding reception, Phillip will be by himself (as his wife did not wish to come to the wedding or she did) and he catches Eloise's eye, who then starts talking with him as she has been badgered by her mother for 2 years now to find a husband, and this man seems somewhat interesting, as he himself is a wallflower (quite unusual for a man). The two start talking and he informs her that he's from Pen's side of the family (via marriage) but Colin invited him to the wedding. They exchange address and start corresponding.

Bridgerton Audiobooks Included with Spotify Premium
I just thought I would put out a note to let anyone who was unaware know that all of the audiobooks in the Bridge-verse written by Julia Quinn are now free to download/stream for Spotify Premium subscribers.
Obviously this isn't paid promotion, but if you had wanted to pick them up, this is a great time if you're a spotify subscriber. I was surprised they were included due to the popularity of the show, but they're all there. I'm currently listening to To Sir Phillip, With Love.
Happy listening! 😘

My favorite Bridgerton books
1) When He was wicked - Francesca Bridgerton
Michael Stirling the man you are.
2) The Viscount who loved me
I personally prefer the book's story to the show because of the dynamic between Kate and Edwina. But I loved Kate Sharma with all my heart
3) An Offer from a Gentleman
Sophie Beckett is going to be beautiful i just know it . I hope they keep the last jail scene it was my favorite
4) It's in his Kiss
Gareth St Clair and Hyacinth
✨chef kisses✨
Hope she finds the jewelry in the show
5) Romancing Mr. Bridgerton
Pen and Colin. The ultimate friends to lovers with a spice of girl boss x boy himbo
6) To Sir Phillip with love
More excited for Eloise to bond with the twins then the actual love story. Hope the show makes it Spicier
7) On the way to the wedding
Gregory and Lucy are cute. But it could have been better but the family scenes are amazing.
8) The Duke and I
Could have been amazing but that SA scene just ruined it.

The way season one had Marina staying home with a “mysterious illness” that wasn’t actually illness, she was just pregnant and the Featheringtons were dealing with how to handle her situation, and how later on Penelope pretended to be sick so her mother would let her stay home from a ball, and how in season two, Lady Danbury warned Kate to be careful or she would catch a chill… I can’t help but feel like someone is going to be very sick in season three. I think it’s going to be Penelope and since the show is taking place in the 1800’s, it’s entirely likely that they’ll have her so sick that Colin and Eloise are afraid she might die because medicine was very different then.
Unlike the way Anthony couldn’t bring himself to visit Kate when she was injured for fear she might die, I think Colin will refuse to leave Penelope’s side.
**Book spoiler**
The show could use a sweeping illness in England to explain Marina’s death and end the season with news from Sir Philip as a lead into Eloise’s love story.

I'm sorry but I find this so funny for some reason.
So apparently, when Chris Fulton was cast as Phillip Crane, he had no idea he was a future spouse. He just thought Phillip was going to be a minor character. He approached Julia Quinn one day while filming, asking her if his character ever popped up in any of the other books. I think it was said he had just started reading the Duke and I, so he didn't know yet that Phillip wasn't in that one.
Julia Quinn told him that yeah, Phillip was in the fifth book, To Sir Phillip, with Love.
Sir! You're the only spouse with your name in the title. No one even mentioned it to him.
I wanna know how fast he got that book after.

You Have My Attention: Bridgerton First Lines
I literally cannot believe I haven't done a First Lines for Bridgerton yet!!! Thanks to the Netflix series, Bridgerton itself needs little introduction. However, Julia Quinn still had to catch her readers, and those first sentences are crucial for that. House rules for this one are that we will do the prologue and first chapter first lines (with the exception of When He was Wicked, which just doesn't have a prologue for some reason), because let's face it: We want to meet both our love interests. Let's see how she does it!
Prologue
The birth of Simon Arthur Henry Fitzranulph Basset, Earl Clyvdon, was met with great celebration.
Chapter 1
"Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhh!" Violet Bridgertin crumpled the single-page newspaper into a ball and hurled it across the elegant drawing room.
Her daughter Daphne wisely made no comment and pretended to be engrossed in her embroidery.
-- The Duke and I
Prologue
Anthony Bridgerton had always known he would die young.
Chapter 1
"Please don't tell me," Kate Sheffield said to the room at large, "that she is writing about Viscount Bridgerton again."
-- The Viscount Who Loved Me
Prologue
Everyone knew Sophie Beckett was a bastard.
Chapter 1
"Sophie! Sophieeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
As screeches went, it was enough to shatter glass. Or at least an eardrum.
-- An Offer from a Gentleman
Prologue
On the sixth of April, in the year 1812--precisely two days before her sixteenth birthday--Penelope Featherington fell in love.
Chapter 1
"Look at this!" Portia Featherington squealed. "Colin Bridgerton is back!"
-- Romancing Mister Bridgerton
Prologue
It was ironic, really, that it had happened on such a sunny day.
Chapter 1
Eloise Bridgerton smoothed the well-read sheet of paper across her lap.
-- To Sir Phillip, With Love
Chapter 1
In every life there is a turning point. A moment so tremendous, so sharp and clear that one feels as if one’s been hit in the chest, all the breath knocked out, and one knows, absolutely knows without the merest hint of a shadow of a doubt that one’s life will never be the same. For Michael Stirling, that moment came the first time he laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton.
Chapter 2
For all his faults—and Francesca was willing to allow that Michael Stirling had many—he really was the dearest man.
-- When He was Wicked
Prologue
There were four principles governing Gareth St. Clair's relationship with his father that he relied upon to maintain his good humor snd general sanity.
Chapter 1
"Why do we do this to ourselves?" Hyacinth Bridgerton wondered aloud.
-- It's In His Kiss
Prologue
His lungs were on fire. Gregory Bridgerton was running.
Chapter 1
Unlike most men of his acquaintance, Gregory Bridgerton believed in true love.
-- On the Way to the Wedding
