I thoroughly enjoyed my recent foray into fluff reading. After watching the Netflix’s series Bridgerton based on Quinn’s novel, I was prepared for some raunchy scenes that were going to make me blush. All in all, Quinn’s novel was romantic and sexy, but it wasn’t as graphic as I feared. I found it a pretty good mix of naughty and nice.
If you’ve been living under a rock and have no idea about the plot of this series of books, I suppose some introduction is appropriate. Set in Regency England, the series follows the love lives of the 7 children of the Bridgerton family. In this first volume, our focus is on the oldest daughter, Daphne. Daphne is anxious to be married and have a family. However, she cannot find a suitor who captures her eye and heart. Enter Simon, the dashing Duke of Hastings.
Simon appears to be the perfect match for Daphne. Handsome, social standing, and wealthy. However, because of his childhood experiences, Simon does not intend to wed or bear children. It should come as no surprise when Simon and Daphne enter into an agreement to pretend to be madly in love so they both get what they want during the social courting season. Simon is unapproachable by other young ladies while Daphne is now the center of attention of all of the eligible bachelors! Nothing can go wrong with this plan, right?
Read the book. Watch the outstanding ensemble piece on Netflix — just have whatever you need to cool you down when you do! — and enjoy this charming story of love and intrigue. You’ll be glad you did.
