About this listen

The first novel in Julia Quinn's worldwide best-selling Bridgerton novels, now a series created by Shonda Rhimes for Netflix. This is the story of Daphne Bridgerton and the Duke: welcome to the ballrooms of Regency London.....

Can there be any greater challenge to London's Ambitious Mamas than an unmarried duke? Lady Whistledown's Society Papers, April 1813.

By all accounts, Simon Basset is on the verge of proposing to his best friend's sister, the lovely - and almost-on-the-shelf - Daphne Bridgerton. But the two of them know the truth - it's all an elaborate plan to keep Simon free from marriage-minded society mothers. And as for Daphne, surely she will attract some worthy suitors now that it seems a duke has declared her desirable....

Their ruse works like a charm - at first. But as Daphne waltzes across ballroom after ballroom with Simon, it's hard to remember that their courtship is a complete sham. Maybe it's his devilish smile, certainly it's the way his eyes seem to burn every time he looks at her. It wasn't the plan, but it seems she's falling for the duke, for real. And amidst the glittering, gossipy, cut-throat world of London's elite, there is only one certainty: love ignores every rule....

Although I really enjoyed the Netflix series of The Bridgertons, the audio book was just so much more. Rosalyn Landor's narration was phenomenal and had me hanging on her lips throughout. This story is really good and entertaining and I loved it!

Delightful!!

Narrower focus on just the main characters than the Netflix series. I did enjoy it and some very comical moments. Another difference to the Netflix series is that the characters are more likeable. Netflix villianised many events and personality traits, this version seems more like things would actually play out in the real world

I loved this book. The characters are written very well and all have there own personalities. I was smiling and feeling embarrassed through out the book. How society has changed, how the everyday was so different, women couldn’t be out and about without an escort. I loved the storyline and how the relationship between the Duke and Daphne developed. The whole Bridgerton family was a hoot. It was very much worth a read.

Smiled the whole way through
