A review by mistysbookspace
The Duke and I by Julia Quinn

3.5

 This book has been on my TBR for years. I've wanted to watch the adaptation of it since it was released but I refused to watch it until I read the book. Thank you to Ashley for buddy reading this one with me and getting me to finally read it. This is the first book in an 8 book series and it follows Daphne the the only Bridgerton daughter. This is Daphne and Simon's story. I liked the romance and the banter. Honestly I don't really have a whole lot to say about this one. It was ok and I definitely want to continue with the series but this one didn't blow me away. There was also something that happened toward the end that I totally didn't expect and is very problematic and controversial.
