the homoerotic tension between you, an emotionally constipated duke with daddy issues, and your wife’s brother, an equally emotionally constipated 28-year-old man with small dick energy 🤩
that was 12 hours of my life I’ll never get back </3 I’ll miss Simon’s ICY blue eyes very deeply

Honestly would rate it higher if it weren't for Daphne's actions . Absolutely ruined the book for me and I can't bring myself to rate it higher even if I enjoyed 70% of the book.
But loved the sibling interactions, I laughed a lot with them.

Really enjoyed most of it. Why is there a rape scene? It's morally abhorrent, and it's clear that the writer did not realize that this counts as rape.

The Duke & I by Julia Quinn is the first in a wildly successful book and now television series featuring the Bridgerton family.
This novel tells the story of Daphne, the fourth child and eldest daughter of the family, with her Mother, Violet, desperately trying to find a husband for her before she becomes much older! During the 1813 season of balls, she is being pursued by Nigel Berbrooke, a Baron, who has high hopes of marrying her, much to Daphne's sanguine.
Enter Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings, who, after dispatching the Baron, makes an interesting proposal to Daphne, which peaks the interest of many in high society, including Lady Whistledown, an anonymous writer of a social pamphlet detailing the gossip of "the ton" and her three elder brothers, Anthony, Benedict and Colin, who collectively decide that Simon is a completely unsuitable suitor for their sister.
I owned copy of this book and listened to it on Audible. I read this for the 52 Book Club Summer Reading Challenge 2024, for prompt 14, water polo, book that made a splash.
