I'm reading another prequel to the Bridgertons series, Julia Quinn's The Girl With the Make-Believe Husband. Right now I'm about half-way through and love it. It's the story of Cecilia Harcourt and Edward Rokesby (brother of George from Because of Miss Bridgerton). She has traveled to the Colonies in search of her brother after hearing that he had been injured in battle. When she arrived, however, the wounded soldier that she found was his good friend Edward and the only way that she could care for him and, hopefully, continue the search for her brother, was to convince people that she was his wife. It wasn't all that difficult .... until he woke up. Luckily, in a way, he woke up missing at least three months of memories so when he was told that they had been married it wasn't hard for him to believe that it was just part of his lost time. It was, however, extremely difficult for Cecilia who found the lies piling up around her and tearing her up inside because she genuinely cared for Edward (they had gotten to know each other through her correspondence with her brother).
So far this has all of the charm and wit and catch-your-breath romance of the other Quinn books I have read recently and I can't wait to see what happens next!
