She was inthe wrong place…
Fiercely independent and adventurous,
Poppy Bridgertonwill 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…

He found her at the wrong time…
Known to society as a rascal and
reckless privateer, Captain Andrew James Rokesby actually transports essential
goods and documents for the British government. Setting sail on a
time-sensitive voyage to Portugal, he’s stunned to find a woman waiting for him
in his cabin. Surely, his imagination is getting the better of him. But no, she
is very real-and his duty to the Crown means he’s stuck with her.

Can two wrongs make the most perfect
right?
right?
When Andrew learns that she is a
Bridgerton, he knows he will likely have to wed her to avert a scandal-though
Poppy has no idea that he is the son of an earl and neighbor to her
aristocratic cousins in Kent. On the high seas, their war of words soon gives
way to an intoxicating passion. But when Andrew’s secret is revealed, will his
declaration of love be enough to capture her heart…?

My Review:
I love
Historical Romance novels, but I haven’t read one in a while. When I saw ‘The
Other Miss Bridgerton’ on Netgalley I immediately requested it. I’ve read the
first book in the Rokesbys series back in 2016 and loved it. Since this is the
third book in the series I knew I had to read it, one way or another. So I was
super excited when my request got approved and I started reading as soon as
possible.

In ‘The
Other Miss Bridgerton’ we meet Poppy. Poppy has always been independent and
smart. But being smart as a woman isn’t always approved of. One day Poppy is
walking by herself, while visiting a friend, when she discovers a smugglers
hideaway. Before she knows what really happens, she is kidnapped and taken
aboard a ship and left in the cabin of a captain. This captain is Andrew James,
who is getting ready to go on a time-sensitive journey to Portugal. The last
thing Andrew want to do is take Poppy with him. But unfortunately, he doesn’t
have a choice.

Ever since
my baby girl was born, I haven’t been able to read a book in a day. Which I
definitely don’t mind because I’m completely in love with our girl and want to
devote all my time to her. But when I started reading ‘The Other Miss
Bridgerton’ I just simply couldn’t stop reading. I read this book on Sunday, we
didn’t have any plans and I finished this book the same day I started it. I
read when my girl was taking her nap, while I was breastfeeding her and after
she went to bed in the evening. It was such a great read I just had to finish
it.

I loved
reading about Poppy. Poppy definitely was way to curious and smart for a woman
in her time. But it was so fun to read about. And it was especially fun to read
how Andrew reacted to her. He didn’t dislike the fact that Poppy was so smart,
he enjoyed talking with her. Which was complicated seeing he kidnapped her.
This really made for some fun moments.

Andrew was
also a very fun character I loved getting to know. He was a captain on a smugglers
ship. But right from the beginning it was clear that there was much more to his
story. Finding out what really was his deal was so fun. And the romance..
Sigh.. That’s why I love Historical Romance so much. The courting, the desire,
the romance.. I loved everything about this read and it was just perfect.

The fact
that this story took place mostly aboard a ship made it even more fun. It was
unusual, and added a little mystery that I loved. And lets face it, the whole
captain on a ship part makes this book even more romantic. I definitely have to
read more Julia Quinn novels.

About the Author:
#1 New
York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn loves to dispel the myth that smart
women don’t read (or write) romance, and in 2001 she did so in grand style,
competing on the the game show The Weakest Link and walking away with the $79,000
jackpot. She displayed a decided lack of knowledge about baseball, country
music, and plush toys, but she is proud to say that she aced all things British
and literary, answered all of her history and geography questions correctly,
and knew that there was a Da Vinci long before there was a code.
