Bridgerton: The Duke and I (Bridgertons Book 1) by Julia Quinn

Kindle edition

Though this is the first book in the series, it is the second Bridgerton book I read, mostly due to availability at the Library. I started this book on November 26 and finished it on December 3.

OK, this somewhat crosses over with the visual edition of this book (aka the Netflix series). This book was hot (as was the Netflix version). I loved the banter between Daphne and Simon. Having read this after I watched it, it was all the more rich being able to visualize it already vs. creating the visualization myself.

Love always wins. Writing this now (in May 2023 after having read this in Nov/Dec 2022), hindsight for all of the Bridgerton books tells me that love always wins. Maybe it is naive. I don't care. Love always wins.

From the beginning, especially in the series, it is blatantly obvious that Daphne and Simon are meant for each other. Violet and Lady Danbury know it. It just took a while for Daphne and Simon to figure it out. I love the epilogue so you can know more of how life took shape for them.

Two thumbs up from me. For the entire series, really! Except for Benedict's story - that is only one thumb up.
