"The Duke And I" by Julia Quinn

The Duke And I by Julia Quinn

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


About a year ago I was obsessed with historical romances. Today I'm in Paranormal Romances and love stories.

So, it was good to find a nice combination of both in Julia Quinn novels.


"The Duke And I" is the #1 on "Bridgertons series" that tell us the stories of a family of 8 brothers and sisters in England middle XIX century, trying to find love in a conservative society.


This first book is about Daphney, the older Bridgerton girl, and Simon, a Duke recently returned to London, and best friend of her older brother.


Their story start with a pretend engagement that obviously turns to be more real than they expect.


I liked the characters and all the scenarios around them, that made the reading very enjoying.


Two points I like to comment :


- the nice writing in the beginning of each chapter by "Lady Whistledown's Society Papers" was a really nice touch and puts a mysterious character that nobody knows who it is, but can't ignore.


- "Marriage is not the end". I loved the fact that the story don't end with the marriage of Daphney and Simon, that happens somewhere in the middle of the book and many things still happened after that.


It was a nice book.

I'll definitely continuing to read the "Bridgertons series"
