The first novel in Julia Quinn's worldwide bestselling Bridgerton novels, now a series created by Shonda Rhimes for Netflix. This is the story of Daphne Bridgerton and the Duke: welcome to the ballrooms of Regency London . . .
Can there be any greater challenge to London's Ambitious Mamas than an unmarried duke? Lady Whistledown's Society Papers, April 1813
By all accounts, Simon Basset is on the verge of proposing to his best friend's sister, the lovely - and almost-on-the-shelf - Daphne Bridgerton. But the two of them know the truth - it's all an elaborate plan to keep Simon free from marriage-minded society mothers. And as for Daphne, surely she will attract some worthy suitors now that it seems a duke has declared her desirable . . .
Their ruse works like a charm - at first. But as Daphne waltzes across ballroom after ballroom with Simon, it's hard to remember that their courtship is a complete sham. Maybe it's his devilish smile, certainly it's the way his eyes seem to burn every time he looks at her. It wasn't the plan, but it seems she's falling for the duke, for real. And amidst the glittering, gossipy, cut-throat world of London's elite, there is only one certainty: love ignores every rule . . .

Magnificent! Such a lovely and a very well-written story! Everything feels right in it. There are slight descriptions of things, ball rooms and clothes but a lot of dialogues and love and arguing and laughing which reveal protagonists’ characters just perfectly! And the audiobook version even makes it better ‘cause it has pauses for a seconds and you can guess their words, live through these scenes. Amazing experience! Can’t wait to listen to another books🥰 P.S. If you consider it’s boring to read this book after watching the series, then I certainly suggest you to give it a try. They both hit differently and touch various parts of your soul.
