Can I read The Viscount if I've watched Bridgerton but not read The Duke & I?

[Sarah]

Hi! I'm new. I had never seen any Julia Quinn novels until I watched Bridgerton. I just read a comparison between the Season and The Duke and I and they seem awfully similar. I'm not a huge fan of reading something I know what happens in... so I am wondering... Can I skip right to The Viscount? How close to where Season 1 leaves off, does it start? Thank you :) Sarah

Hi Sarah, I just did a reread of the series after I watched Bridgerton and I think you should be fine reading The Viscount Who Loved Me. I think it starts maybe a year or two after The Duke and I.

Thank you :)

It would work, but they did change some stuff from the books. Also, JQ does amazing dialogue that they didn't take advantage of in the show.

I found them different and read them in order. There are links of one book to another.

I did see there were some changes. I'm just afraid I will not be as captivated knowing the outcome. I am not a re-read person ;)

I'm a reread person, so I don't now how that is :))

Hi Sarah, I read the full series but I actually had started with The Viscount first. I say go for it!
