I really enjoyed this, per Abby's recommendation. It was hard to put down! I had already watched a bit of Season 1 of the Bridgerton show, so this helped put all of it into perspective. Not my favorite entry in the series, by any means, but a strong and richly imagined start to a beloved series.

This book was terrible it had no murder no coups no war and worst of all no magic. It was badly written and had a boring plot. And yet, I was invested and gripped and enjoyed every last second of it. 
Just be warned one thing that took away from this book was a marital rape scene which was never taken seriously and if u forget or just skip it you will be fine.

I liked the book in general, but I won't accept THAT to be presented as not a big deal, specially in a "romance" , so...

This book was a solid 4 and had me silently screaming at the banter between Daphne and Simon but with 25% left something happened that disgusted me so much I forced myself to finish the book.

I enjoyed this but I cannot get past Julia Quinn writing a r4pe and pretending like it wasn’t one and that it’s all fine because the r4pist was upset.
