This is another sweet and spicy Bridgerton book. I like a good friend to lovers' trope and this gives it. Francesca is widowed early on and goes into a depression. Her and her husband's best friend and cousin Michael has been in love with Francesca since he met her. When her husband dies, he inherits the title but feels guilty for it and for his feelings for her. Years later Francesca decides that she wants to remarry because she wants a baby. Michael wants to be that guy but it takes a lot of persuasion to get her to agree.  
What can I say except this is another Bridgerton story that fits into that mold. It’s very enjoyable and if you like the rest of the series you will like this.
