★★★☆☆
This was one of the more enjoyable Bridgerton books for me, but it still suffered from some of the same problems that keep this series hovering around the middle of the road.
Hyacinth was easily the best part of the book. She was witty, intelligent, stubborn, and actually felt like a fully developed character. Honestly, she was everything I wanted Eloise to be. Her banter with Gareth was fun, and her scenes with Lady Danbury absolutely stole the show. If anything, I wanted more of them and less of the actual romance.
The mystery surrounding the diamonds was entertaining at first, but it never became as important or exciting as I expected. It felt like the book kept building toward something bigger than what we actually got.
As for Gareth... I liked him well enough until I didn't. His endless daddy issues became exhausting after a while, and once he started making decisions for Hyacinth instead of with her, my opinion of him dropped pretty quickly. It wasn't enough to ruin the book, but it definitely stopped me from fully rooting for the romance.
Overall, this was fun, easy to read, and probably one of the stronger Bridgerton installments, but Hyacinth carried this book on her back. Without her, I don't think I would've enjoyed it nearly as much.
