Aww, I'm so glad I stopped torturing myself with a bad series and followed up with Julia Quinn. Her first Bridgerton series was soooo good. Apparently, this series is set before the Bridgerton series, and we get to learn a couple of things, such as the birth of "The Mallet of Death".This book was a really sweet romance that built slowly and had all of the delicious banter that JQ writes so well. She has a way of writing situations and conversations that are full of dry wit and quirk. I always fi...
2.5 StarsI still remember what I felt when I read the Bridgertons for the very first time: It was pure fun. I loved them. From Daphne to Gregory's stories, I could inhale them! I still "remember" when Gregory inadvertently pushes Simon into the river. ;)The wit, the swoon worth romance, the writing, all of it was gold... that is why, it pains me to say this now, but it feels as if the author has lost that magical touch :/Sure, I had some fun reading the beginning of this story: Billie is suppose...

Super cute enemies to lovers romance. Billie Bridgerton is smart, capable, independent, and a bit wild. George is respectable, dependable, and calm. So of course they're perfect for each other.But just don't know it yet. I loved the dialogue, I loved both of the main characters, and I loved the plot.I'm kind of kidding about that last one because to be 100% honest, there really wasn't a plot. They don't like each other, they fight, they pick on each other, and then eventually... And that's it. R...
Because if you're on romance binge, Julia Quinn is always the answer.
3.5 starsWhen in doubt, but you want a high rating anyway, go for the half stars.I'll just copy/paste the blurb because historical romance (nothing new, really): Sometimes you find love in the most unexpected of places...This is not one of those times.Everyone expects Billie Bridgerton to marry one of the Rokesby brothers.

This book was such fun! I love Billie Bridgerton. She is full of snark, a tomboy, watches over her father's estate, wears breeches as much as possible, she's just great. She is definitely not like the woman in 1779. She likes to ride her horse out and check on the crops and the tenants. I think it's brilliant. But she won't be the one inheriting, one day it will be her younger brother. I'm sure she can whip him into shape though. They are also great friends with the Rokesby family. Billie's best...
Instagram || Twitter || Facebook || Amazon || PinterestDNF Sometimes you read a book and the pages fly by. Other times, you read a book and each page drags on and on. You set the book aside for other, better books. But each night, when you go to bed, you see the book sitting there on your nightstand. Judging you. Mocking you. BECAUSE OF MISS BRIDGERTON is the latter.In other words: BOOOOOOOrriiiiiiin. Boring. Yes. I've noticed this problem with a lot of newer historical romances (like, writ
It's great to catch up with the Bridgertons.Because of Miss Bridgerton was a cute story where love blossomed unexpectedly between family friends. Billie Bridgerton is a bit of a tomboy who at times, recklessly jumps into situations that get her into strife. This time her escapade leads her to needing assistance, and her unlikely hero, while not her first choice to save the day, leads to an attraction neither of them can deny.
There can’t be many people in Romancelandia who haven’t at the very least heard of Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series. Through eight books (not including the subsequently published set of Second Epilogues), we followed the eight Bridgerton siblings as they found love, romance and their happily ever afters, and they’ve become some of the most beloved and iconic creations in the historical romance genre.The problem for any author who has achieved such a feat must be how on earth to follow such a
4 1/2 stars (rounded up to 5 stars, because nobody writes light and funny historical romance with the right amount of "seriousness" to prevent it from becoming fluffy like Julia Quinn)

★★★★ 4 "Have you ever danced with me ?" Stars ★★★★I can't tell you how glad I am to ended up giving this one a four star ! I've always been a huge fan of JQ's books but after rating The Sum of All Kisses a two and the low ratings from my GR besties on The Secrets of Sir Richard Kenworthy,I was worried this one wouldn't really meet my expectations much.But it did and so much more ! Thank god for that !Loved everything about the book :) I found the characters (both lead & secondary),the plot-line
