Synopsis

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 …

5 stars – Historical/Regency Romance I’ll be honest, this is the book that attracted me to Julia Quinn’s Bridgertons to begin with and the story that I was most looking forward to reading in the series. I mean, with a title like “When He Was Wicked”? Well, I knew I simply couldn’t pass it up. Althoug......more

Goodreads review by Jessica on December 14, 2020

TW for miscarriage and death of a loved one. Michael is EVERYTHING. I love a romance where the guy is pining over the girl and cannot get over her. In this one, Michael is in love with his cousin's wife. TALK ABOUT ANGST. When his cousin dies, Michael goes off to India and doesn't come back for four......more

OH. HELL. NO. 🚨 JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL STIRLING IMMEDIATELY. 🚨 The Bridgerton series? It’s OVER for me. I’m in freaking mourning. 🖤 Michael Stirling—THE love of my life, the tortured, devoted, heart-wrenching man who pined like no other—is GONE. WIPED OUT. REPLACED with some half-baked, hollow shell of......more
