Bridgertons #7: It's in His Kiss by Julia Quinn 

"'Say whatever is in your heart,' Violet said. Her lips twisted wryly. 'And if that doesn’t work, I suggest that
you take a book and knock him over the head with it.'"

This seventh installment of the Bridgertons was exactly what I expected and just a little bit too long. I really like the character of Hyacinth, and I had been looking forward to reading her story for some time. I appreciated the fact that her relationship with Lady Danbury brough Lady D into so much of the story because she truly is one of the best characters in this entire series. Gareth was not my favorite love interest, but I suppose he's not the worst either. And for the first half or so of the book I really enjoyed their story. Then, it just sort of went on and on. There were too many unnecessary conflicts, they took too long to wrap up, and by the end I was just sort of relieved. Other than that, though, another mostly enjoyable Bridgerton book down, one more to go before I take a break from Miss Quinn for a while. I do still plan to read the prequel series, but I need some separation for a bit.
