More About This Book

Overview

Sir Phillip knew that Eloise Bridgerton was a spinster, and so he'd proposed, figuring that she'd be homely and unassuming, and more than a little desperate for an offer of marriage. Except . . . she wasn't. The beautiful woman on his doorstep was anything but quiet, and when she stopped talking long enough to close her mouth, all he wanted to do was kiss her . . . and more.

Did he think she was mad? Eloise Bridgerton couldn't marry a man she had never met! But then she started thinking . . . and wondering . . . and before she knew it, she was in a hired carriage in the middle of the night, on her way to meet the man she hoped might be her perfect match. Except . . . he wasn't. Her perfect husband wouldn't be so moody and ill-mannered, and while Phillip was certainly handsome, he was a large brute of a man, rough and rugged, and totally unlike the London gentlemen vying for her hand. But when he smiled . . . and when he kissed her . . . the rest of the world simply fell away, and she couldn't help but wonder . . . could this imperfect man be perfect for her?

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
After reading this superb post-Regency-era romance, the fifth in Quinn's Bridgerton siblings series, it's easy to see why the author's previous book, Romancing Mr. Bridgerton, landed on RWA's Top 10 Favorite Books of 2002 list. Quinn is a consummate storyteller. Her prose is spry and assured, and she excels at creating indelible characters like chatty Eloise Bridgerton and Sir Phillip Crane, the protagonists of this unconventional effort. The novel opens as Eloise, a 28-year-old "spinster," flees London to visit her secret pen pal, Phillip, a troubled botanist and widower. The two plan to see if they are compatible, but Eloise's hopes plummet when she discovers that Phillip is not the romantic charmer of her dreams, but a grumpy father of twins. She agrees to remain for a fortnight, however, and as she interacts with him and his unruly children, she learns that he has a good heart, even if he is an emotionally distant father. Weighty issues such as abuse and discipline threaten to overshadow their relationship at times, but Eloise's sunny disposition brightens the novel, as does the arrival of her four brothers. Quinn's characters possess endearing quirks and flaws, and their easy banter is loaded with wit and warmth. Indeed, readers will likely find themselves rereading certain passages-if not the entire book-in order to prolong their connection to this charismatic clan.

Chapter One

May 1824
Somewhere on the road from
London to Gloucestershire
The middle of the night

Dear Miss Bridgerton --

Thank you for your kind note at the loss of my wife. It was thoughtful of you to take the time to write to a gentleman you have never met. I offer you this pressed flower as thanks. It is naught but the simple red campion (Silene dioica), but it brightens the fields here in Gloucestershire, and indeed seems to have arrived early this year.

It was Marina's favorite wildflower.

Sincerely,
Sir Phillip Crane

Eloise Bridgerton smoothed the well-read sheet of paper across her lap. There was little light by which to see the words, even with the full moon shining through the windows of the coach, but that didn't really matter. She had the entire letter memorized, and the delicate pressed flower, which was actually more pink than red, was safely protected between the pages of a book she'd nipped from her brother's library.

She hadn't been too terribly surprised when she'd received a reply from Sir Phillip. Good manners dictated as much, although even Eloise's mother, surely the supreme arbiter of good behavior, said that Eloise took her correspondence a bit too seriously.

It was common, of course, for ladies of Eloise's station to spend several hours each week writing letters, but Eloise had long since fallen into the habit of taking that amount of time each day. She enjoyed writing notes, especially to people she hadn't seen in years (she'd always liked to imagine their surprise when they opened her envelope), and so she pulled out her pen and paper for most any occasion -- births, deaths, any sort of achievement that deserved congratulations or condolences.

She wasn't sure why she kept sending her missives, just that she spent so much time writing letters to whichever of her siblings were not in residence in London at the time, and it seemed easy enough to pen a short note to some far-off relative while she was seated at her escritoire.

And although everyone penned a short note in reply -- she was a Bridgerton, of course, and no one wanted to offend a Bridgerton -- never had anyone enclosed a gift, even something so humble as a pressed flower.

Eloise closed her eyes, picturing the delicate pink petals. It was hard to imagine a man handling such a fragile bloom. Her four brothers were all big, strong men, with broad shoulders and large hands that would surely mangle the poor thing in a heartbeat.

She had been intrigued by Sir Phillip's reply, especially his use of the Latin, and she had immediately penned her own response.

Dear Sir Phillip --

Thank you so very much for the charming pressed flower. It was such a lovely surprise when it floated out of the envelope. And such a precious memento of dear Marina, as well.

I could not help but notice your facility with the flower's scientific name. Are you a botanist?

Yours,
Miss Eloise Bridgerton

It was sneaky of her to end her letter with a question. Now the poor man would be forced to respond again.

He did not disappoint her. It had taken only ten days for Eloise to receive his reply.

Dear Miss Bridgerton --

Indeed I am a botanist, trained at Cambridge, although I am not currently connected with any university or scientific board. I conduct experiments here at Romney Hall, in my own greenhouse.

Are you of a scientific bent as well?

Yours,
Sir Phillip Crane

Something about the correspondence was thrilling; perhaps it was simply the excitement of finding someone not related to her who actually seemed eager to conduct a written dialogue. Whatever it was, Eloise wrote back immediately.

Dear Sir Phillip --

Heavens, no, I have not the scientific mind, I'm afraid, although I do have a fair head for sums. My interests lie more in the humanities; you may have noticed that I enjoy penning letters.

Yours in friendship,
Eloise Bridgerton

Eloise hadn't been certain about signing with such an informal salutation, but she decided to err on the side of daring. Sir Phillip was obviously enjoying the correspondence as much as she; surely he wouldn't have finished his missive with a question, otherwise?

Her answer came a fortnight later.

My dear Miss Bridgerton --

Ah, but it is a sort of friendship, isn't it? I confess to a certain measure of isolation here in the country, and if one cannot have a smiling face across one's breakfast table, then one might at least have an amiable letter, don't you agree?

I have enclosed another flower for you. This one is Geranium pratense, more commonly known as the meadow cranesbill.

With great regard,
Phillip Crane

Eloise remembered that day well. She had sat in her chair, the one by the window in her bedchamber, and stared at the carefully pressed purple flower for what seemed like an eternity. Was he attempting to court her? Through the post?

And then one day she received a note that was quite different from the rest.

My dear Miss Bridgerton --

We have been corresponding now for quite some time, and although we have never formally met, I feel as if I know you. I hope you feel the same.

Forgive me if I am too bold, but I am writing to invite you to visit me here at Romney Hall. It is my hope that after a suitable period of time, we might decide that we will suit, and you will consent to be my wife.

You will, of course, be properly chaperoned. If you accept my invitation, I will make immediate plans to bring my widowed aunt to Romney Hall.

I do hope you will consider my proposal.

Yours, as always,
Phillip Crane

Eloise had immediately tucked the letter away in a drawer, unable to even fathom his request. He wanted to marry someone he didn't even know?

    I was truly disappointed with this book. I've loved all of the other JQ books so far! This book was just blah. The 2 main characters IMO have no developement & suddenly fall in love in 2 weeks. I was just seriously disappointed.

    Julia Quinn writes yet another great Romance!

    I have TRIED to find an author as fun and witty as Julia Quinn, and have failed. This book is one of many that exude charm and keeps you laughing out loud. Trust me, my husband always glances over when I bust out laughing. The characters are memorable and very relatable. Enjoy the read, I will keep this book forever.

    A fine romance

    In 1823 Gloucestershire, England, a depressed Marina Crane leaves her bed for the first time in weeks jumping into the nearby icy water. Her botanist husband Phillip rescues her from drowning, but she dies three days later from a fever. Phillip and their seven-year-old twin children feel grief, guilt, and relief.

    Phillip receives a letter from Marina¿s cousin Eloise Bridgerton expressing her sympathy. He writes back thanking her and encloses a pressed flower. They exchange more letters until Phillip invites Eloise to his estate to see if they would suit. Eloise tells no one including Phillip that with no chaperone she goes to visit him.

    Eloise introduces herself, but is shocked he has children, as he never mentioned them. She introduces herself to the twins, but they tell her to leave, as they want no guests. The twins confront Eloise who throws down the gauntlet. Eloise explains to Phillip that she wants a husband and liked his letters so she came to see if they will really suit. He admits he wants a mother for his unruly children. As they fall in love, his kids will do everything to drive her away.

    The latest Bridgerton Regency romance is a fun yet serious tale due to the antics of the two children seeking attention from their father. Though complex issues involving the lead male¿s two children are too easily resolved; the latest Bridgerton tale is a fun frolic with much of the family making a strong appearance.

    Although I absolutely love the Bridgerton series, this was probably one of my least favorites. I was just not feeling a genuine romance between phillip and eloise. Its still worth reading if you like the series.

    Quinn makes the fantasy real...

    ...by providing real character flaws and serious issues such as the repetitive cycle of abuse and the efdects on the family of depression. It gives the redemptive power of true love a gravitas and context we can more easily accept. I love Eloisa's hyperactive involvement in the world and her irrepressibility. I sympathise with Phillip's blundering misunderstanding of so much of the emotional upheaval in his life. His reactions to Marina's suicide, his children's needs, his own emotions, are so much more authentic than so many of the alpha male templates used in romance novels. The fullness these flaws give the characters made the re-reading of this novel as freah and entertaining as the first read and justified the Nook purchase.

    Amazing

    This book was a wonderful read. Although phillip was rather dull at times. Eloise seems very intelligent and helpful to be raising those two children and it was rayher beastly for the nurse to hit them with books. It was very sad though with marina and it is quite hard to believe she would leave her children and with phillips father by being cruel with hitting phillip.

    Best of the Brigertons

    This was the first Julia Quinn novel I ever read and it is by far my favorite. It reads fast and fun. I enjoy re-reading it every once in a while. It's like an old friend.

    Another wonderful romance from Julia Quinn!

    I loved Phillip and Eloise's story! Eloise's energetic, loving, take-charge personality is the breath of fresh air that Phillip and his two young children need in their lives. Phillip desires Eloise with a passionate intensity Eloise never could haved imagined. Phillip comes to love Eloise, not just as the new mother for his children, but for everything she is. In turn, Eloise falls in love with Phillip for the special man that he is. I highly recommend this fifth book of the Bridgerton family series.

    Loved it!

    I read this book in just one day and loved it. I don't know why the reviews are so low, since it is now one of my favorites in the Bridgerton series. I really enjoyed Eloise and Sir Phillip in the story and thought it flowed smoothly. Highly recommended.

    You won't want to put it down

    To Sir Phillip, With Love by Julia Quinn Reviewer: Pamela Ackerson (author of Home of the Braves trilogy) Eloise loves to correspond with everyone and anyone she can. Her adventure starts with a condolence letter sent to Sir Phillip Crane upon the death of his wife, her distant cousin. Alas, the heroine is faced with a cantankerous gentlemen and unpredictable twins when she unexpectedly arrives on his doorstep. Ms. Quinn keeps the reader going from page one until the very end. A storyteller in its truest form. Before I knew it, I was closing the book, wanting more. More, she has giving us with the Bridgerton series. Pick an adjective, any adjective and you will describe this excellent story. I can't wait, sitting on my bedside table, another Bridgerton story just waiting for me to read--It's in His Kiss.

    Not her best...but still good

    This is my least favorite out of all of the Bridgerton Series....I just felt like I didn't get to know Phillip like I have the other male characters in this series...the first half of the book left me slightly restless with dissapointment...its still enjoyable! Don't get me wrong...but the ending is good...it lives up to the standards the other books set...still...be prepared for dissapointment if you've kept up with the series.

    Juila Quinn is outstanding! It was smart, funny,charmingly witty and everything that a book should be. I really don't have enough room to express my feelings for this book.

    I love the whole Bridgerton Family

    I couldn't put the book down. I am so intrigued with the whole Brigerton family. I was rooting for Eloise the whole time. I loved her courage and strength. Because she needed it. Phillip sure needed someone like her to help put his family together and also his heart.

    CAN'T WIN THEM ALL

    I LOVE EVERYONE OF MS. QUINNS' BOOKS-EXCEPT THIS ONE. I BOUGHT IT A LONG WHILE AGO AND NEVER FINISHED IT BECAUSE IT WAS HO-UM. I RE-READ IT A FEW WEEKS AGO AND FOUND MY OPINION HADN'T CHANGED. BOTH LEAD CHARACTERS WERE BORINGLY BLAND AND INSIPID.I WOUND UP HOPING ONE OF THEM WOULD BREAK A LEG JUST TO MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING.

    Best of the Bridgerton Series!

    I have been waiting and waiting for this book to come out. I read again and again because it was so good!!!! I have always been a Julia Quinn fan ever since her first novel Splendid came out in 1995.
