About this deal

The beautiful woman on his doorstep was anything but quiet, and when she stopped talking long enough to close her mouth, all he wanted to do was kiss her. Her perfect husband wouldn’t be so moody and ill-mannered, and while Phillip was certainly handsome, he was a large brute of a man, rough and rugged, and totally unlike the London gentlemen vying for her hand.

To Sir Phillip, With Love Summary | GradeSaver

He proposed marriage to Eloise by letter and never once, in ONE YEAR OF CORRESPONDENCE, mentioned he has two eight-year-old children. She enjoyed writing notes, especially to people she hadn’t seen in years (she’d always liked to imagine their surprise when they opened her envelope) and so she pulled out her pen and paper for most any occasion–births, deaths, any sort of achievement that deserved congratulations or condolences. In 1823 Gloucestershire, England, a depressed Marina Crane leaves her bed for the first time in weeks jumping into the nearby icy water. Violet turns up too to give her motherly advice and though her part is short you just get all these fond memories of when she was with Daphne in “The Duke and I”. Her mother had spent so many years urging her to find a husband; as much as Eloise adored her, it would be difficult to eat crow and say that she should have listened.

She wasn’t sure why she kept sending her missives, just that she spent so much time writing letters to whichever of her siblings were not in residence in London at the time, and it seemed easy enough to pen a short note to some far-off relative while she was seated at her escritoire.

It was one of those stories where the characters live more in their heads-- lots of second guessing which always drives me a little crazy. Sir Phillip knew from his correspondence with his dead wife’s distant cousin that Eloise Bridgerton was a spinster, and so he’d proposed, figuring that she’d be homely and unassuming, and more than a little desperate for an offer of marriage.I know and understand that the belief and behaviour of Sir Phillip to his first wife was a reflection of the time period but it was very triggering to read about Sir Phillip's blasé attitude towards his first wife and even go so far as to say that she was a burden to him and was relieved that she's gone. But here he was, Anthony of all people, who was arrogant and proud and every inch the arch nobleman he'd been born to be, kneeling at her side, placing his hand on hers, and speaking with a kindness that nearly broke her heart.

Because you’ve never had cancer, you don’t really know what it’s like to suffer, so I’m not going to bother taking you to the doctor to get it fixed. If the moon had suddenly dropped from the sky and landed in her back garden, Eloise could not have been more surprised. Like many, Eloise was my favorite Bridgerton character in the show so I was super excited for this one. Each storyline had a richness that was only strengthened by the comparison and contrast to the other.She had sat in her chair, the one by the window in her bedchamber, and stared at the carefully pressed, purple flower for what seemed like an eternity. Sir Phillip was obviously enjoying the correspondence as much as she; surely he wouldn’t have finished his missive with a question, otherwise?

I don’t care who you marry or what your name becomes when you stand up before a priest and say your vows. I'm not blaming the person who is sick, but if you've ever lived with someone who deals with it, you know what I'm talking about. This latest batch was not just shriveled but had even turned yellow, which had not been the expected result at all. Some of the male characters are a little too good to be true but that doesn’t spoil any part of the story. We have been corresponding now for quite some time, and although we have never formally met, I feel as if I know you.

There was neither wit in their dialogue nor sparkle in their relationship, and for an awfully large chunk of the book I was almost bored. And because she’d never actually met him, she’d been able to create him in her mind, using his letters as the bones and then fleshing him out as she saw fit.
