💭The Duke and I is a romance set in the Regency era.
Daphne Bridgerton has always failed at the latter. The fourth of eight siblings in her close-knit family, she has formed friendships with the most eligible young men in London. Everyone likes Daphne for her kindness and wit. But no one truly desires her. She is simply too deuced honest for that, too unwilling to play the romantic games that captivate gentlemen.
Amiability is not a characteristic shared by Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings. Recently returned to England from abroad, he intends to shun both marriage and society—just as his callous father shunned Simon throughout his painful childhood. Yet an encounter with his best friend’s sister offers another option. If Daphne agrees to a fake courtship, Simon can deter the mamas who parade their daughters before him. Daphne, meanwhile, will see her prospects and her reputation soar.
The plan works like a charm—at first. But amid the glittering, gossipy, cut-throat world of London’s elite, there is only one certainty: love ignores every rule…
💭My review🐻
Okay so I finally got into reading this book. I was a little scared because I'm not a big romance reader but love the historical era . I ended up enjoying it. I find it light and the romance is kind of spicy ( I don’t mind spicy romance) . I also found that the book was witty/ funny. I absolutely love the setting of the book and all the details. I also enjoyed that the book was a little different from the TV show. I can’t wait till the new season comes out. Some many fun characters I can’t wait to read about them all. I’m totally invested.
QOTD : What’s your favorite historical t.v show / movie ?
