As a lover of S1 and S2 of the show (I haven’t watched S3 yet🫣), I chose to pick the audiobook up of this and I am so glad I did! The show changed so much and removed a lot, and the book was really good in so many ways. I loved the character development, the plot and how the book was set out. If anyone else is a lover of the show, I highly recommend the books to you all!
Quotes:
- “Where is he? Bridgerton!" he bellowed. Three chestnut heads swiveled in his direction. Simon stomped across the grass, murder in his eyes. "I meant the idiot Bridgerton." "That, I believe," Anthony said mildly, tilting his chin toward Colin, "would refer to you.”
- “And if you say that's because you lot barged into her home like a herd of mentally deficient sheep, I'm disowning all three of you.”
- “Tonight," he whispered, his voice hoarse and hot in her ear, "I will make you mine."
- “Men are sheep. Where one goes, the rest will soon follow. - Lady Whistledown”
- “I love you," he whispered. "In all my life, it’s been only you.”
- “Did you know I have always suspected that men were idiots,” Daphne ground out, “but I was never positive until today.”
- “He loved her. He worshipped her. He'd walk across fire for her.”
- “The birth of Simon Arthur Henry Fitzranulph Basset, Earl Clyvedon, was met with great celebration. Church bells rang for hours, champagne flowed freely through the gargantuan castle that the newborn would call home…”
- “The desperation in Simon’s voice told her everything she needed to know. He wanted her. He desired her. He was mad for her.”
Tropes:
- Historical Romance
- Fake Relationship
- Marriage of Convenience
