Summary
Simon Basset, the irresistible Duke of Hastings, has hatched a plan to keep himself free from the town's marriage-minded society mothers. He pretends to be engaged to the lovely Daphne Bridgerton. After all, it isn't as if the brooding rogue has any real plans to marry-though there is something about the alluring Miss Bridgerton that sets Simon's heart beating a bit faster. And as for Daphne, surely the clever debutante will attract some very worthy suitors now that it seems a duke has declared her desirable. But as Daphne waltzes across ballroom after ballroom with Simon, she soon forgets that their courtship is a complete sham. And now she has to do the impossible and keep herself from losing her heart and soul completely to the handsome hell-raiser who has sworn off marriage forever!

An absolute gem of a book for sure. The characters are hilarious, heartwarming and so easy to connect with. The narrator is fabulous as well!!! I am so very glad I 'read' this story though her narration, she makes it all the better.

Excellent story, loved the differences between the book and the 1st season of the show. The 2nd epilogue was just amazing, loved seeing a snip of them 20yrs later.

Started my love for historical romances.

The first book in this series gets the reader hooked. I am on the fourth book, and still can’t get enough. Following the characters of the Bridgerton family allows the reader to feel as if they are part of this large family. Each character has a different personality and the reader falls in love with each one.

Boring, same old story line. I could even bring myself to listen to the end.

This was a fun, light listen. I would have given this book 5 stars, but I did not appreciate the sex scenes which left little to the imagination. They seemed out of character for this book and time period. If I want to read smut (which I don't), I would look elsewhere. I didn't expect it for this title. The book made me laugh. I love the characters who were real and refreshing in the formal, stuffy setting of the day. The narrator was fantastic.

Excellently captivating story! The beginning hooks your heart, each added character & their intertwined development and well placed/worded quips are perfect, just the right amount emotional depth, and the absolutely perfect romantic development to keep you coming back for more...because it feels so real, deep, and true that you wish it were yours to keep.

It's OK. Strangely enough the TV show was better. Daphne is horrible in this.

I will admit I saw the Netflix series first. But as normal the book is so much better. I normally just listen when I'm driving the 1 hour to and from work , or if I'm driving a tractor. But this one was so good. I was listening when. I was cooking and cleaning.

Very much like a Mills & Boon. Love story with a few twists- nothing I would recommend someone spending their time on.
