Still In Stitches

First Comes Scandal (Rokesby #4)
by Julia Quinn

Georgiana Bridgerton's reputation is in tatters after she was kidnapped by suitor with a rather large debt. It falls to Nicholas Rokesby to rescue her - in the form of a marriage proposal, something he's rather reluctant to do. Georgie doesn't want him to pity her. But she doesn't have a choice. After years of being cordial friends, will they be able to see each other with new eyes?

I had a lot of fun reading this. Pretty much any scene that involved Cat-Head had me giggling in a most undignified fashion. And Freddie Oakes falling out of the tree - I just about cackled. I adored Georgie and Nicholas together, especially since they got to both experience intimacy for the first time - you just don't see that enough in historical romance novels. I also found the medical stuff quite interesting. And who wouldn't be delighted with those brief appearances by the young Bridgerton boys?
