I have to say that I completely changed my opinion. I was so very annoyed with Daphne in this book, but on this reread I cam to the conclusion that her only fault was being ignorant of sexual relations and that's so not her fault. Simon knew better and he kept fucking lying all the time!
My rating isn't changing because I am still angry with someone, but the someone changed LOL

This book was so cute! I look forward to reading the rest of the series!
Saw Netflix movie adaptation yesterday after first reading eight years ago. It follows fairly close to book.
I didn't like Daphne and Simon's scene and I don't think she meant total power over his wishes any more than he loved her and fought his feelings. By that point men do not like to do what he was using for birth control. An error was next possibility anyway as we grew up knowing "pulling out" is not effective birth control.
It is not as ornate as the movie....no Queen scenes or unlikely use ...more

Just as incredible the fourth time around. :) If you have not had the pleasure of reading Julia Quinn's Bridgerton series, whether you're a fan of historical romance or not, you HAVE to give these books a shot. After Susan Elizabeth Phillip's Chicago Stars series, this is my favorite series of all time. Already finished book 2 and I'm on to book 3 (both for the fourth time as well...obsessed? No. In need of some happy and know right where to find it? Yes, yes, yes.)

i love this book so much
this is my first historical rommance i ever read, and i like it.
pertamanya pas baca resensi dibelakangnya tentang "pura2 pacaran" eh taunya malah keterusan sampe nikah.
tp yg bikin jatuh cinta adalah : tokoh wanitanya yang dibuat pintar, saudara2 yg tiap hari kerjanya berantem mulu tapi saling sayang and of course "simmon basset" si ganteng, pintar, tajir, dah gitu "duke" pula...hehe ...more

This was an entertaining book that held my attention from beginning to end. There was nothing original about the plot which trod a well worn path, but it was well written, amusing and emotionally engaging.
