Because of Miss Bridgerton
Ratings40
Average rating3.7
Everyone expects Billie Bridgerton to marry one of the Rokesby brothers. The two families have been neighbors for centuries, and as a child the tomboyish Billie ran wild with Edward and Andrew. Either one would make a perfect husband... someday. But sometimes fate has a wicked sense of humor. There is only one Rokesby Billie absolutely cannot tolerate, and that is George. He may be the eldest and heir to the earldom, but he's arrogant, annoying, and she's absolutely certain he detests her. Which is perfectly convenient, as she can't stand the sight of him, either. Because when Billie and George are quite literally thrown together, a whole new sort of sparks begins to fly. And when these lifelong adversaries finally kiss, they just might discover that the one person they can't abide is the one person they can't live without.

I don't write reviews typically but I just had to for this one. I don't know how she does it. How does Julia Quinn always write such strong, independent, appealing female characters without making each one of them sound exactly the same? And she always manages to match them up with exactly the right male who, again, always sounds like a different character than the ones in all of her other books. I'm impressed and grateful. I read a lot of series (a LOT) and sometimes after about 5 or 6 books they all start to blend together...same characters, same storyline...but not hers. There are very few series that I reread but the Bridgertons is one of them and I thoroughly enjoy them every time I pick them up. This one is no different. For fans of the books you won't be disappointed. Pall Mall and the Black Mallet of Death make an appearance making this feel like an old friend you're meeting for the first time. For first-time readers of Julia Quinn, this is actually a good place to start as the story happens before the original 8 in the series, so you won't feel lost at all.
Not typically a romance fan but I guess I've found a romance I enjoy. I really liked this. Both characters were cute and there wasn't a big dramatic fight that I found to be annoying in this book like I find in so many others.
I will probably give another book of Julia Quinn's a try at some point.
