Forced into an arranged marriage with a fortune hunter due to rumours of ruination, Catherine forges a new life for herself in a marriage that may not be as loveless as the husband and wife had hoped.
When they say that it's inspired by Bridgerton, they do not lie!
There are multiple plot lines, which unfold alongside the main plot, but because it's not the main focus of the novel and we do not have the advantage of the reaction shots that we would have in a film medium the side plots end up feeling sudden when major breakthroughs occur. Despite this, I highly enjoyed them and they did not feel unnecessary.
Then, of course, there is the main plot line. Very Bridgerton-y, in the rather explicit way everything unfolds and in the behaviour of the main characters. It was definitely entertaining! There was character development and their relationship felt like it progressed in a realistic manner.
Overall, a very enjoyable regency romance graphic novel.
