When He Was Wicked (Bridgertons #6) 
In every life there is a turning point. A moment so tremendous, so sharp and breathtaking, that one knows one's life will never be the same. For Michael Stirling, London's most infamous rake, that moment came the first time he laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton.
After a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they chased him, of allowing himself to be caught but never permitting his heart to become engaged, he took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and hard into love it was a wonder he managed to remain standing. Unfortunately for Michael, however, Francesca's surname was to remain Bridgerton for only a mere thirty-six hours longer—the occasion of their meeting was, lamentably, a supper celebrating her imminent wedding to his cousin.
But that was then... Now Michael is the earl and Francesca is free, but still she thinks of him as nothing other than her dear friend and confidant. Michael dares not speak to her of his love... until one dangerous night, when she steps innocently into his arms, and passion proves stronger than even the most wicked of secrets...
This is the ninth Quinn I've read, and always after finishing one of her books I've thought, well, that was quite nice and clever and well-written. There have been some books of hers I've rated two stars. There were quite a few I thought were good, solid three star reads, and then there was Romancing Mister Bridgerton, which had many elements I loved. I consider it a favorite but not a five star read. All in all, while I've liked and enjoyed Julia Quinn's books, I never really got the hype
Different narrator for this one after listening to Rosalyn Landor for the previous books. It was somewhat jarring. I preferred Landors narration, and the emotional impact did not feel as strong here. Thats ok, because this story is an emotional roller coaster. Its high angst, and I love it, which is a rare sentiment from me. Normally I prefer low angst stories. But its just done so well here. The emotional journey for both characters is potent and believable. The loves scenes are some of the

Ahh Julia Quinn, the best comfort read out there. Not only is this an excellent comfort read but its comfort with a surprising twist. I had to check more than once that I was reading a Juia Quinn and not Lisa Kleypas whose steam scenes can be a whole lot steamier than Quinns. This book was fantastic!Filled with emotion that starts out simmering and ends up ready to firecracker high in the sky, heres the story of Francesca Bridgerton and Michael Stirling friends/cousins through Francescas
hmmmm.... I'm very torn on the rating.This is my first JQ novel and not sure if it was the novel I picked or JQ that is not my style.Don't get me wrong I'm not saying she's a bad writer. She has legions of fans. I'm just not quite sure she's for me. Perhaps I should try one of her more humorous novels before giving up.The setup here was quite realistic in many ways and I was drawn into the first half. The loss of the heroine's first husband and hero's best friend/cousin was dealt with well. The
When He Was Wicked is the sixth installment of the Bridgertons series by Julia Quinn. It is about Francesca Bridgerton, who had a love marriage, but her husband died two years ago. Her husbands cousin, Michael, is in love with her since they first met, and slowly Francesca realizes that she feels the same for him.There is a serious problem with Francesca's character: her grief is not real, and her dilemma is exaggerated. She's already decided to marry again, so I really dont understand her
