About this listen

In every life there is a turning point....

A moment so tremendous, so sharp and breathtaking, that one knows one's life will never be the same. For Michael Stirling, London's most infamous rake, that moment came the first time he laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton.

After a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they chased him, of allowing himself to be caught but never permitting his heart to become engaged, he took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and hard into love it was a wonder he managed to remain standing. Unfortunately for Michael, however, Francesca's surname was to remain Bridgerton for only a mere 36 hours longer - the occasion of their meeting was, lamentably, a supper celebrating her imminent wedding to his cousin.

But that was then.... Now Michael is the earl and Francesca is free, but still she thinks of him as nothing other than her dear friend and confidant. Michael dares not speak to her of his love...until one dangerous night, when she steps innocently into his arms and passion proves stronger than even the most wicked of secrets....

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Too much repetition

While I enjoyed reading the Bridgerton series in the beginning, I became less interested as I continured to ready. I don't think these books should be read one right after the other. Very predictable from the very beginning, but that in itself isn't the issue.... every story is exactly the same with different characters. It got to the point where I had to listen 2x the speed during parts of the books brecuse I was so tired of listening to the same old thing, some things were just repeats from previous books. (word for word). This is a good series, but it could have been a great one.

Wicked indeed

This was a beautiful story. Although at times Francesca tried my patience and my nerves. My heart broke fr Micheal so many times while reading . I was so relieved when Francesca realized that it was okay for her to have happiness in her life. I must say the second epilogue was as intense for me as the first 24 chapters of the book☺️. Thank you for including it. I have throughly enjoyed the entire Bridgeton series

Spoiler Alert!

Loved the storyline, as I have all the books of this series. Only thing I wish that would have been different was that she would have borne John’s daughter. Just to have a piece of him still. But even without that the storyline is great!

I really enjoyed it!

I am glad I went into this with an open mind, knowing how much I loved the other stories. Some of the reviews made me hesitant, but I loved it. I could definitely understand how a situation like this could transpire and it is not beyond the realm of possibility. A beautiful story and perfect narration as per usual.

Good Read

I really enjoyed Francesca’s story, I love how much Michael loved her and I loved how she took charge of her life, her independence.

Recording a bit quiet

The recording of this Audible Book was very quiet. I had to turn the volume all the way up to hear it. Whenever I was listening to the book and a notification came in on my phone, the notification was extremely loud. This tells me that there wasn’t a problem with the volume of my device, but rather the volume of the Audible Book itself.
