    Bridgerton in this century, there's texting, there's references, there's memes, there's stupidity, because the Singular Bridgerton Brain Cell is hopping like a hot potato between each sibling.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I can't stop thinking about Mariska Hargitay as Luke.

    Summary

    Colin maintained that his recent bout of lunacy was, in its entirety, all Penelope Featherington’s fault. For, had she not been so very resolute in her refusal to speak to him after an off-season's worth of unanswered letters, it was wholly possible that – after having overheard his mother lamenting both the state of the Featherington baronry and the effects of Lady Featherington’s now rather indiscreet baby race on Penelope’s chances at a felicitous (if practical) match – Colin would have acted far more rationally than to orchestrate a not-so-clandestine, not-so-very-appropriate, and also not-at-all-truthful midnight tryst between them in the orangery at Vauxhall Gardens.

    (Maybe.)

    After all, if it was simply time Penelope needed to work her way towards forgiving him and restoring their once warm friendship, as his mother had suggested… Well, then a lifetime together would certainly suit that, with change to spare, wouldn’t it?

     

     

    — or, Penelope is a storm Colin is determined to weather. A different take on the entrapment of it all.

    Summary

    “You earnestly believe you can trick me into loving you in three months? Mr. Bridgerton, this shall be the easiest-won wager any woman has ever known.”

    Colin chuckles. “I believe,” he says, “I can do it in one. The latter two shall be enjoyed as our honeymoon.”

    Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton haven’t properly seen each other in years.

    Now, they find themselves maneuvered into an arranged marriage neither of them wants.

    Penelope, sharp-tongued and self-possessed, has no intention of being anyone’s consolation prize. Colin, newly returned from the continent and having already insulted his bride, did not comprehend quite the little spitfire he'd been given.

    And so, a wager is struck: Three months to earn her regard, or surrender the match.

    Summary

    It had been a while since Penelope discovered Colin Bridgerton had the filthiest mouth in all of London (mostly because it had also been a while since they started sleeping together), so when his dirty talk begins to take a turn towards the romantic, she’s certain it means nothing. Except, well, does he really have to make ‘nothing’ sound so bloody… convincing?
