The men of Bridgerton support women’s wrongs. That is, frankly, the most important and attractive thing about them.

Are you taking friends au asks?

I was wondering who gets Rachel at Monica's wedding role? Where she discovers she is pregnant but refuses to say by whom.

Almost any of the couples could fit, from Kathony to polin to philoise to Hyareth.

Whose the Daddy?

So because of everything I've already established in this AU, this story doesn't exactly fit with any one of the Bridgerton couples since they all respectively get together before getting pregnant, meaning nobody can fulfil the "who's the daddy?" element of the plot.

However, I am willing to explore some of the Rokesby series in this AU; and out of those pairings I could potentially see either Andrew and Poppy or Nicholas and Georgie.

Andrew and Poppy could work in hooking up without realising her cousin is married to his brother, and then later on at Nicholas and Georgie's wedding, Billie is consoling Poppy after she's found out she's pregnant. Poppy wants to tell the father but doesn't know how to go about finding him - only to exit the toilets and walk right into Andrew where calamity then ensues.

Alternatively it's at Andrew and Poppy's wedding or maybe even Edmund and Violet's vow renewal where Georgie discovers she's newly pregnant and the shock among the Bridgerton and Rokesby clans occurs when they learn that Nicholas is the father after the pair hooked up at baby Colin's christening six weeks previously.

The Other Miss Bridgerton Book Review

The Other Miss Bridgerton

Author: Julia Quinn

Description: Fiercely independent and adventurous, Poppy Bridgerton will only wed a suitor whose keen intellect and interests match her own. Sadly, none of the fools from her London season qualify. While visiting a friend on the Dorset coast, Poppy is pleasantly surprised to discover a smugglers' hideaway tucked inside a cave. But her delight turns to dismay when two pirates kidnap her and take her aboard a ship, leaving her bound and gagged on the captain's bed...

Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆

Review: Hoist your sails everybody! We’re going on yet another Atlantic adventure! Captain Andrew James very much does not welcome you aboard the Infinity, especially if you’re a Bridgerton. Alas, in The Other Miss Bridgerton he has no choice. 

The third book of the Rokesbys is an excitingly thrilling novella about faux pirates, secrets and the seascape, sprinkled with the foreshadowing of exotic places (for a gentle Englishwoman that is). My arms welcome openly Quinn’s successful try of getting out of her dear comfort zone: Great Britain – particularly the ton. 

I’ll have to be honest, during my read of the previous Rokesbys I was convinced Andrew’s love interest would eventually be Georgiana Bridgerton. It took me a moment to rewire my brain to digest that The Other Miss Bridgerton wasn’t about them, but rather a cousin of her’s. Nevertheless, Poppy Bridgerton did not disappoint. 

Miss Bridgerton is clever, curious and vivacious, much like her future relative Hyacinth Bridgerton. And much like her counterpart Andrew Rokesby. Their shared traits and interests make them undeniably compatible. With an enjoyable dynamic and a skilfully written story, there’s not much to bring this book down. 

However, one of its main flaws, in my humble opinion, is that it’s too slow paced. Almost the entirety of this novella is played out in merely six days. I’d understand if the journey took longer time to reach its destination, yet it doesn’t. The Other Miss Bridgerton hangs on a thin line, leaning toward being dragged-out and edging on boring.  

On the other hand, its main perk is the few whimsical twists and turns it suddenly takes when you don’t expect it. The last chapter in particular (epilogue notwithstanding) was my favourite, with its ardent emotion and heartwarming resolution. 

All in all, a marvellous third instalment to the Bridgerton prequels. It truly holds up to its predecessors, all thus far equally as good. Bravo Julia Quinn, you’ve come a long way.

No, because respectfully Poppy Bridgerton is officially my favorite Bridgerton and the other Miss Bridgerton is my favorite book. Poppy and Andrew may be my new favorite couple. It feels blasphemous to say that because Colin and Penelope have my heart. 

But I cannot deny the way that a homeboy risked his life for her safety. Something about love in Lisbon is just chefs kiss.

📖 The Other Miss Bridgerton (Rokesby #3)

✍️ Julia Quinn

5/5 ⭐️

4/5 🌶

💭📝 REVIEW:

I keep saying that Julia Quinn is one of my favorite authors and this book just proves my point even further.

In this book we get to know Andrew’s story, third in line of the Rokesby brothers. We got to meet him in book one, and we got a sense of his fun and playful personality and it didn’t get lost in book 3 for certain.

We also get to meet a different side of the Bridgerton family, specifically Poppy Bridgerton — a curious and adventurous mind.

It is known throughout these series that the Rokesbys and the Bridgertons are very familiar with each other, and it was rather interesting to see that in such large families sometimes someone gets lost in the crowd.

Curiosity led Poppy into Captain Andrew’s ship — not by choice — where a lot of secrets sailed within and where she found herself trapped in an unknown adventure to Portugal.

In a time where the myth that a woman on board was a bad omen, she was kept in the captain’s cabin for all sailor’s good sake. But when one has no one to talk but the captain himself and a 13-year-old boy, a lot can happen in a fortnight.

It was such a lovely book to read. I think Andrew’s personality and also Poppy’s was what made this such a great book. I lost count of the time I had to stop reading just to let myself laugh my ass off. They are feisty, and flirty, and awkward. But also caring, and understanding. They were truly a match made in heaven and this was a wonder to experience while reading!

On a side note, I’m from Portugal and I’m currently living in the US, and this book having its background in my homeland made me so happy as well? I might be a little biased but it filled me with joy nevertheless!

As always I think you should give these series a try if you’re into rom-com and period romances!

Looking at the exes AU, I’m kind of pissed at Benedict for sleeping around. Granted, yes they aren’t dating but that would still be a tough pill to swallow if I were Sophie. I’m just imagining Violet, sick and tired of Ben being a hoe, let’s it slip one night that she’s decided to set Sophie up on a blind date much to Ben’s chagrin. “How can you do this to me mother?” “In all fairness dear, YOU were the one to end things with her. Besides, Sophie deserves to find happiness with someone. I know she would love to have children one day and with her looks they’d be gorgeous.”

She totally set up Sophie with Roger Rokesby, who happens to be the son of Benedict's aunt Poppy. Violet was sneaky, she pretended it was a meet cute, and look at that her handsome nephew the naval officer. In a cruise with his mom? Wow what a coincidence. Let's just not tell Sophie we're related

When Benedict demands to know why she did that Violet decides to pour more salt in the wound " Why because I want grandchildren of course, I may not get them from you, but Sophie is a different story, that darling girl loves me like a mother, I'm sure any child of hers and Roger is obviously going to call me grandmama... Admittedly if she had stuck with you, I wouldn't have to share my future grandchildren with Andrew and Poppy, but oh well, one can't have everything in life..."

Let Roger wine and dine Sophie. She deserves a fling in the french Rivera while Benedict hoes around.

But Benedict is now discovering that it hurts to think about Sophie building a home with someone else. And all his meaningless one night stands make him feel pathetic and empty. Only Sophie made him feel like life was worth living

Cue tortured artist collection of paintings dedicated to his muse, Sophie who he totally doesn't miss and doesn't leave embarrassing voicemails to in the middle of the night. Benedict takes this whole tortured artist phase very seriously. Doesn't matter that all he seems to paint is his beloved lady in silver.

And that's the tea

Ranking the Rokesby Series

So after recently reading all 4 Rokesby books, here’s my ranking of them;

1. The Girl With The Make-Believe Husband

Cecilia and Edward’s love story has to be my favourite from the sheer drama of it all. This book has everything; the hero suffering from amnesia, the heroine pretending to be his wife, a brother MIA, falling in love over correspondence, a strawberry-induced allergic reaction, and the ever beloved “there’s only one bed” trope. I also think Cecilia and Edward’s book is my favourite of the Rokesby series because while reading it I felt as though it was a bit Benophie-coded, due in part to the heroine having to go by an alternate identity of sorts and the hero not being any the wiser right up until the last few chapters (though to be fair Edward is suffering from memory loss - Benedict is just an idiot lmao). 

2. The Other Miss Bridgerton

Andrew and Poppy are next and while I initially thought Billie was as chaotic a Bridgerton as her nieces and nephews, it turns out drama and scandal is simply a Bridgerton family trait, as proven by Poppy when she manages to get kidnapped by privateers. Andrew makes for the perfect charmingly cheeky hero and he definitely reminded me a lot of Colin especially with his inability to stay in one place for too long yet coming to a point where he desired more from life. I enjoyed the witty back and forth between the pair but also how closely they bonded through their deeper conversations and how their attraction became more and more palpable as the story progressed. I genuinely didn’t expect the drama that would ensue upon their arrival in Portugal but it made for a pleasant surprise and appropriately raised the stakes for them to realise just how much they meant to each other. 

3. Because Of Miss Bridgerton

Now while I did thoroughly love George and Billie’s love story they’ve ended up ranking third only because there was so much drama in the above books in stark contrast. Again, I can’t help but compare the Rokesby series with the Bridgerton series and in doing so it’s so abundantly clear that this story is Kanthony-coded; from the enemies-to-lovers trope between two respective eldest siblings, the alleged supposition among the other characters that Billie is destined to end up with one of George’s brothers (even though it’s quite obvious that the supporting players are all lowkey side-eyeing the pair throughout), and even a game of Pall Mall featuring the mallet of death. While it could be viewed as an italicized version of Kanthony; TVWLM is one of Julia Quinn’s best stories for a reason so fuck it, why shouldn’t it be echoed? 

4. First Comes Scandal

And just because Georgie and Nicholas’s story is ranked fourth doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it; again, purely based off of drama, this book simply wasn’t as wildly dramatic as it’s three predecessors. I loved the Muppet baby cameos of young ABC but if anything I loved it too much because I wanted more of them, plus I was a little disappointed that we never saw Edmund’s reaction to his best friend becoming engaged to his younger sister; did he get mad, was he shooketh, or did he find it a bit funny? For me the journey to Scotland dragged on a little more than I would have liked though I did enjoy reading how Georgie and Nicholas slowly fell for each other and transitioned from being friends to lovers (plus it was a nice touch having their first time being both of their first times; it gave their love scene a fresh dynamic from the rest of Regency couples’ first times).

"Is it the first time you've been kidnapped?"

"Yes."

"The first time you've been tied up?"

He hesitated.

She gasped. "Captain Ja---"

"In this manner," he said quickly. And with great volume and emphasis, as if he needed to cut off her query about as much as he needed, for example, air.

Her eyes narrowed. "What does that mean?"

It was possibly the first time she had seen him truly blush, which should have been enough to make her want to force him to answer. But given the circumstances, she decided to let it pass. For the most part.

She gave him a shrewd look. "Can I ask you that question later?"

"Please don't."

"Are you sure?"

There was a noise people sometimes made---it was halfway between a laugh and a cry but it just ended up sounding like irony.

Andrew made that noise, right before saying, "Not even a little bit."

Speaking of the Rokesby, I find it hilarious how George was hesitant about pursuing Billie cause he thought she liked Edward while Cecilia fled the continent cause she thought Edward loved Billie and did not want to be an obstacle between them. Edward-Billie bestie duo unknowingly causing massive inner turmoils for their future spouses will never not be hilarious 😂

Oh absolutely, it's just funny that George was getting jealous of both of his brothers really, Edward more so and he was bloody missing in America

and Poor Cecilia, just like "he doesn't love me, it's all a lie... he loves Billie" even when he's trying to pour his heart out to her... she's like "but billie!"

i can just imagine within about 5 minutes of meeting Billie Cecilia just relaxes and goes "oh right, I get it now... defo siblings vibes..."

her and George just watching from the side totally amused as their competing against one another and on the few occasions Andrew is home before Poppy happens watching them collectively tease Andrew just like "what were we worried about"

First Comes Scandal Book Review

First Comes Scandal

Author: Julia Quinn

Description: She was given two choices...

Georgiana Bridgerton isn't against the idea of marriage. She'd just thought she'd have some say in the matter. But with her reputation hanging by a thread after she's abducted for her dowry, Georgie is given two options: live out her life as a spinster or marry the rogue who has ruined her life.

Enter Option #3

As the fourth son of an earl, Nicholas Rokesby is prepared to chart his own course. He has a life in Edinburgh, where he's close to completing his medical studies, and he has no time -- or interest -- to find a wife. But when he discovers that Georgie Bridgerton -- his literal girl-next-door -- is facing ruin, he knows what he must do.

A Marriage of Convenience

Rating: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

Review: Four books, four brothers and four vastly different stories. And now, the last one has come to its end. The Rokesby lineage closes its final chapter.

This last instalment of the Rokesby storyline, First Comes Scandal, began wonderfully. The easy setting, the quick build-up and the plot-line itself made the story entertaining and immersive. 

I had long looked forward to reading about Georgianna Bridgerton, for her character is so uniquely her. Although, I must say, my surprise remained with me when her main love interest was revealed to be Nicholas Rokesby. For the longest time I thought it would be Andrew! Though I’m very happy it wasn’t in the end. I can imagine they would drive each other mad. 

What makes Nicholas and Georgiana a great pair is how much understanding and respect they have for each other. Even if they jest or get angered, there’s a modicum of that high esteem remaining. The trope chosen for this novel displays that in phenomenal manner. 

Nevertheless, there is a reason First Comes Scandal did not receive a higher score. It is far from outstanding, and to break my previous Rokesbys streak, less than seven out of ten stars, was a shame, really. The first half was highly amusing and up to previous standards. Yet…

There’s something about all Rokesby books that is too dragged out, too prolonged to be enjoyable. It usually happens somewhere in the middle, leaning toward the second-half of the story. However, First Comes Scandal stands out against it’s companion novels, for even after the usual “break” in pace, it made me lose complete interest around 80% down the line. It took me some time to resume my reading and what I found was predictable. The book didn’t end in an incredible plot-twist, nor something anywhere near surprising. 

That is not to be said that I didn’t like it, because I did. Not as much as previous instalments, but it was sweet and on par with the general storyline. Thus just… the same for another 50 or so pages. Alas, it got a bit repetitive and boring – it’s easy predictability a major flaw in making the story liven up and regain its footing. 

In conclusion, a decently good book, but sadly tapers down during its second half. Unsure if it’s the best ending to this series… Maybe Quinn would be up to another round of Rokesby novels?
