Based on the phenomenal growth of Quinn's popularity, and her four-week stint on the New York Times bestseller list with Romancing Mr Bridgerton, it's the perfect time to revisit Ms Quinn's 'splendid' storytelling.

American heiress Emma Dunster has always been fun-loving and independent with no wish to settle into marriage. She plans to enjoy her Season in London in more unconventional ways than husband-hunting. But this time Emma's high-jinks lead her into dangerous temptation...

Alexander Ridgely, the Duke of Ashbourne, is a notorious rake who carefully avoids the risk of love...until he plants one reckless kiss on the sensuous lips of this high-spirited innocent...and condemns himself to delicious torment. Little does he know that his passion has touched the very soul of the lovely enchantress...and committed them both to a lifetime of splendid ecstasy.

Featured Article: The Bridgertons Audiobooks in Chronological Order


In a fictional Regency-era London, the Bridgerton and the Featherington families depend on the marriages of their many children. Bridgertons has won over the hearts of millions, and Julia Quinn has likened the series to "a Cinderella story." Shonda Rhimes adapted the series of romance novels into the hugely popular Bridgerton Netflix series. Although a different character inspires each volume of the series, it’s best to enjoy the saga chronologically.

Enjoyed it.
Good story and excellent performance.
Loved the heroine. A few loose ends, but nothing that affected the happy ending.

Good listen

Emma and Alex have long been my favourite Julia Quinn characters, but the narrator was so hard to listen to that it ruined a long time favourite

I am quite surprised at the rude reviews of the narrators voice. There’s nothing wrong with it. She does very well with creating an American accent and English and male voices. This was on the more adventurous side I would say similar to Gregory’s story ‘gun scene’. Even if it isn’t your favourite Julia Quinn novel I wouldn’t skip it ever, still a great story.

inspired to listen from the Bridgerton series and doesn't disappoint. some mild annoyance at the constant her violet eyes or His emerald eyes but not a big deal.

This is a long book and not particularly good. I fast forwarded through much of it just to get to the end. I usually enjoy Julia’s books but this one was not worth it.

Not a great book by Julia
