As soon as I started this book, though, I flew through it and fell in love with Gregory What I loved most about Gregory was how much he wanted love. Of course, Penelope gets the last laugh: they eventually get married. Gregorys book has been the one I was least excited for because we just didnt really get to know him through the series, and reading his book meant that the 8 Bridgerton books would be over. At one point, Penelope even acknowledges the Colin she's loved for years isn't the real Colin. Notably, the scene where he defends Penelope at the dance seems to be taken from three different scenes: Simon dancing with her in the first book, Anthony defending her from Cressida in the second book, and a mention of Cressida pouring a drink on Penelope's dress during her first year in the fourth book. By the fourth book, he's also shown not to be above insulting or rejecting Penelope, even getting physical. And while Colin in the Netflix show is a bit of a romantic, practically wanting to marry Marina at first sight, his book counterpart remains a bachelor well until his mid-thirties. In the first book, it's mentioned that Colin is a bit of a spendthrift, having quickly went through money Anthony sent him while traveling, and was said to be a bit of a prankster. In both versions, Penelope likes Colin because he's "nice," but the books imply Penelope gives him too much credit.
