Baaaaa. Are y’all ready for some postcoital treasure hunting? Men are gossips, Miss Butterworth is hanging from something, Lady Danbury is present for the best proposal in the series, and Lydia and Taylor are wrapping up our discussion of It’s in His Kiss, the 7th book in Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series.
