Cheap The Duke and I (Bridgerton Series, Book 1) Discount Review Shop
This was the first Julia Quinn book I've read and I loved it! I really enjoy her writing style. If you are a stickler for true-to-period dialogue and description, you may be disappointed, but I found it to be fun and funny and highly entertaining. I don't mind a few modern words and thoughts in my historical romance stories. Especially in this book, it is part of what makes it such a good read.
The story of Daphne Bridgerton and Simon Basset is truly wonderful. The whole, hugh, boisterous Bridgerton family is so delightful. I love the interaction between the siblings. Daphne is smart and funny and unique, just how I like my heroines. And Simon is rakish and honorable and secretly sweet, just how I like my heroes. Simon's problems and tortured past makes him all that more endearing to me.
All in all a great story that I happily recommend.
(P.S. By now I've read a few more books in this series. Still love Julia Quinn and still love the Bridgerton family!)

Setting: Regency England
Sensuality Rating: 7
Relentlessly pursued by match-making mamas and their charges, Simon Bassett, the handsome Duke of Hastings, has grown tired of the societal chase. Tired too is the lovely Daphne Bridgerton, whose matrimonially minded mother is set on finding her daughter the perfect husband. Neither Simon nor Daphne is happy with this annoying state of affairs and both would give anything for a little peace and quiet. Their mutual wish for a respite from the ton's marriage mart leads to a pretend engagement--a scheme that is threatened with exposure by Daphne's suspicious older brother, who happens to know Simon's way with women very well. The two never anticipated that a mutual attraction would lead to the very thing they set out to avoid--a wedding. But Simon fears that his painful past may keep him from being able to truly love anyone. And though Daphne cares for him deeply, she won't settle for anything less than his heart.
The Duke and I is rich with author Julia Quinn's trademark humor and engaging dialogue. Beneath the Regency charm of this novel, however, dwells an insightful exploration of the impact of childhood trauma and the healing power of love. Quinn just keeps getting better and better, a fact that's sure to delight readers. --Lois Faye Dyer
