Description

Simon Basset, the irresistible Duke of Hastings, has hatched a plan to keep himself free from the town's marriage-minded society mothers. He pretends to be engaged to the lovely Daphne Bridgerton. After all, it isn't as if the brooding rogue has any real plans to marry - though there is something about the alluring Miss Bridgerton that sets Simon's heart beating a bit faster.

And as for Daphne, surely the clever debutante will attract some very worthy suitors now that it seems a duke has declared her desirable. But as Daphne waltzes across ballroom after ballroom with Simon, she soon forgets that their courtship is a complete sham. And now she has to do the impossible and keep herself from losing her heart and soul completely to the handsome hell-raiser who has sworn off marriage forever!

Not for everyone but I enjoyed it

I thought the story was very interesting. It spoke a lot about fulfilment and how to live one’s life for themselves. I thought the characters grew tremendously throughout the story. It also shines a bright light on how dangerous ignorance is. Please remember the story is set in 1813 so you cannot apply 2023 relationship standards.

Not Bad but…

I didn’t mind the story. It was a typical romance. I watched Bridgerton first so it was quite a bit different.

I disliked the narration. The accent was charming and endearing BUT when she tried to do different voices it was annoying and unnecessary. I’m not a small child that you have to try to make reading fun or zazz up the story. I was really glad when the novel was over.

Not My Favourite

I have many feelings about this book, and even some notes about specific scenes that particularly bothered me, but I'm honestly just too tired to get into it. Suffice it to say, I enjoyed the plot, but I do not like this author's way of writing. I've tried reading her books before, and while she has a decent sense of humour, and her descriptions can be lovely, I don't like the omniscient POV (I prefer tight third in HR novels), among other things.

Honestly, I look forward to when this comes out on Netflix, because I think that I'll like the way it's portrayed far better on film than how it's written. Not sure if I'll read the others in the series, despite having already bought the next one.

Captivating!

I appreciate it that focussed on the couple and not all the other characters like the Netflix show had..

an ok book

The Duke and I

       With my monthly membership to my audiobook site. I get a free editor choice book. This month was, The Duke and I by Julia Quinn. 

     I would not call this a great book. Not because it's a romance novel, there are many romantic books that are great. But it felt a bit redundant. As if I have read similar stories that were much more entertaining.

     That is not to say it was not enjoyable, my dear readers. This book does have many moments that made me laugh or caught my attention. For example the awkward "wedding night" conversation between mother and daughter. I just found it very predictable. I will say it was an easy listen and a good book to just let your mind relax. 

      In the story we are introduced to the future Duke of Hastings. Whose mother dies at childbirth. The young child is further traumatized by an overbearing father. Who rejects his son because of a stutter. Going so far as to abandon him to the care of maids and caretakers. Not even acknowledging his son's existence until later, or ever apologizing for his cruelty.

    When the young Duke takes his title after his uncaring father's death. The bachelor  duke makes an agreement with   the eldest Bridgeton family daughter in a fake courtship that eventually leads to their actual marriage. After some humorous awkward moments.

     Their love and marriage are ture. Like many relationships there are some serious "bumps''. Caused by the mentioned psychological damage done to the duke as a you boy. When the walls come down and they bare their naked soles to each other. Their love and relationship is solidified and made stronger

    This book does touch on the psychological damage of station and expectations of the nobles in Victorian age England. It does a great job in pointing out that all the oppression of information and emotions creates problems. That high society is in itself a prison. That expects conformity to its social standards.

    This book does a great job in showing the importance of communication. Especially between husband and wife to help heal wounds and having a healthy relationship 

     Rosalyn Landor does a good job with her narration. Performing with confidence and professionalism.

    As ever I thank all involved in the creation, production, distribution and support of both book and audiobook. With each book I consume makes me a bit better. 

Yours, 
David Evil Midknight

A good but simple story

This is a great book to lose yourself in. Wish there was a bit more to the story line.

OMGoodness goodiness...

Oh my heaving bosoms and rippling thighs... I have never read one of these romance novels and I have to admit it was - for me - a delightful mix of giggles, groans, and blushing cheeks. Could NOT put it down. Not sure if I would play this aloud in a room, but then, that's the fun of it. The narrator was fantastic: would love to have been a fly on the wall when she read this.
