Description

An enchanting collection containing the first three novels in New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn’s beloved Bridgerton series set in Regency England—The Duke and I, The Viscount Who Loved Me, and An Offer from a Gentleman—now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix 
 
The Duke and I
When Daphne Bridgerton and Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings, agree to a fake courtship, they think they’ve found the perfect solution to their problems. Romantically associated with one of London’s most desirable catches, Daphne’s prospects among the ton will soar. For avowed bachelor Simon, an attachment to Daphne will deter would-be brides and their ambitious mamas. Their 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. . . 

The Viscount Who Loved Me
London's most elusive bachelor, Anthony Bridgerton is determined to wed. But one obstacle stands in his way—his intended's older sister, Kate Sheffield, who is driving Anthony mad with her determination to stop the betrothal. Kate is quite sure that reformed rakes do not make the best husbands, and Anthony Bridgerton is the most wicked rogue of them all. She’s determined to protect her sister—even as she fears she may not be able to resist the reprehensible and oh so desirable rake herself . . .
 
An Offer from a Gentleman
Sophie Beckett never dreamed she'd be able to sneak into Lady Bridgerton's famed masquerade ball—or that she would be spinning in the arms of her "Prince Charming"—the debonair and devastatingly handsome Benedict Bridgerton. But when the clock strikes midnight, Sophie’s enchanting evening ends. Since that night Benedict has been able to think of nothing but the bewitching young woman, and he’s sworn to find and wed his mystery miss. Yet will another unexpectedly steal his heart—and his chance for a fairy tale love?

    I’ve always usually been one for cheesy victorian romance fodder, and so in a moment of weakness I purchases this volume set. I purely did it out of curiosity, having never even watched the Netflix show but I was pleasantly surprised along the way. The first book is good. Simon and Daphne’s chemistry is solid, though not the strongest and I find it the most forgettable out of the three. The second I’d say is the most compelling. Anthony’s internal conflicts are interesting and Kate has a very recognizable voice. I found their dynamic very enjoyable, very much a enemies to lovers done right. The third was my favorite, though I am biased. The concept in it of itself is cliche. It’s basically cinderella, but I’m a sucker for those types of things. Benedict and Sophie to me had a very strong connection from the beginning, and that made even the stupider parts of the book very enjoyable. Overall it just felt as if they really enjoyed one another as people and I found that refreshing. Overall, are these books classic literature? No. They’re sappy, victorian smut romance books and they do a good job of being just that. The dialogue is good, the characters become recognizable over time and you grow to find the cameos of previous couples and characters really charming. The only criticism I have is for the few randomly placed lines about toes. I found it hilarious, but it really took me off guard and out of the moment. They’re very few though and easily overlooked (or not if you’re into that i guess). Still, the books are good in all the ways they should be good and I already bought the second volume!
  • Excellent series!!

    I’m completely entranced, I’ve grown to love these books in such a short amount of time. I can’t get enough, I need more (onto reading the next 6). Can I just say - BENEDICT 😍
