The Duke and I is exactly what you want if you’re looking for a fast and fun regency romance. I’m new to the genre, but this definitely has me hooked on the series. 

I absolutely adore the “Lady Whistledown” element, she gives the story a Gossip Girl-vibe. Seriously, who is Lady Whistledown and who are her sources?! 

You can’t help but to love the Bridgerton family, they exude charm and warm heartedness. 

Don’t let the number of children, or novels, in the Bridgerton series intimidate you. If you’re a fan of the show, want to dip your toes in the genre, or maybe you’re even a seasoned regency romance lover, pick up this book and sip some “tea” with the Bridgertons.
