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.

Love this book! Way better than the TV show!

Profile Avatar Debbie H. Feb 2023

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.

Profile Avatar Amiee C. Jan 2023

Daphne grows a lot in this book and really comes into herself.

Profile Avatar Bree H. Oct 2022

The perfect narrator for this series!

Profile Avatar Merhini M. May 2021

Started my love for historical romances.

Profile Avatar K O. Apr 2021

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.

Great story, great narrator!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2021

Way better than the Netflix adaptation in my opinion. Ready to read the next book in the series.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2021

Nice storyline. Very good Speaker

Profile Avatar Jer Feb 2021

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

Profile Avatar Suzanne C. Feb 2021

My favorite. I’ve read them all.

Profile Avatar Julia T. Jan 2021

Very engaging and the narrator made it come to life.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2025

Plot is predictable.

Profile Avatar Brittany Jul 2024

I went about things backwards and watched the series before reading the book, but if I hadn't watched the series, the book's description of the characters personalities is very vivid and easy to imagine. I loved how very detailed and descriptive this book is about events taking place and it's surroundings. you can feel the emotions the character is experiencing as if it was yourself. the narrator allowed that as well, with her different changes of tone. very good book. happy, sad, spicy, and fun.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2024

I just can’t get enough! I read this book years ago, love the show, and just listened to this audio. It did not disappoint.

Profile Avatar SuzsyQ Mar 2024

What an absolute pleasure to read. Had me laughing, crying and wanting to squirm pleasurably in my seat. Can't wait for next book.

Profile Avatar Autumn S. May 2022

Good love story but I wish Daphne wasn't so nieve.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2021

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.

Profile Avatar Mina H. Nov 2021

Enjoyable because it helped round out the characters and television story.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2021

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.

Profile Avatar Trish Stark Sep 2021

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

Profile Avatar Amanda H. Jan 2021

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.

Profile Avatar Lori Hall Jan 2021

Great narration. Good story that will be coming to Netflix.

I really liked the story, loved the narrator.

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2020

I loved it and really enjoyed the 2nd prologue

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2020

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

Profile Avatar Nancy S. Apr 2020
