Lady Whistledown Strikes Back

Join the Bridgertons, and the rest of the ton, as they pore over (and gossip about) Lady Whistledown's latest musings. The elusive Regency-era gossip columnist -- popularized in # 1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn's Bridgerton novels, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix – reveals society's most recent secrets in this second glittering anthology, following the New York Times bestseller, The Further Observations of Lady Whistledown. 

Who Stole Lady Neeley's Bracelet?

Was it the fortune hunter, the gambler, the servant, or the rogue? All of London is abuzz with speculation, but it is clear that one of four couples is connected to the crime. -Lady Whistledown's Society Papers, May 1816

Julia Quinn enchants: A dashing fortune hunter is captivated by the Season's most desired debutante . . . and must prove he is out to steal the lady's heart, not her dowry.

Suzanne Enoch tantalizes: An innocent miss who has spent her life scrupulously avoiding scandal is suddenly-and secretly-courted by London's most notorious rogue.

Karen Hawkins seduces: A roving viscount comes home to rekindle the passionate fires of his marriage . . . only to discover that his beautiful, headstrong bride will not be so easily won.

Mia Ryan delights: A lovely, free-spirited servant is dazzled by the romantic attentions of a charming earl . . . sparking a scandalous affair that could ruin them both.

You'll hear it first from Lady Whistledown!

This is 4 short stories set in the same world as the Bridgerton series. If you enjoyed Lady Whistledown's commentary in the Bridgerton series and enjoy romance in the Regency Period in England, then you should enjoy these short stories.

These four stories were well knitted together and I overall enjoyed them very much. Better than the 1st whistledoen book
Elizabeth
The stories in this collection were much better than the last Whistledown book. However, I felt the only reason to push through the lacking passion in the last story was to find out who had taken the bracelet. Otherwise, it was a much better collection, and had even more relatable conflicts. I especially admired the fathers from the first two stories, and loved the persistent and successful ending for the main characters in the third story.
