From the moment I opened this book to the moment that I closed this book, I loved it. No matter how many times I open this book and read it, I love it. This is the kind of historical love story that never fails to get my heart strings engaged and keep me entertained. Julia Quinn did a magnificent jo...

The Duke of Hastings, Simon Bassett as just returned to London because his father has passed away and the time has come to claim his title. Simon intends to keep life very low key, staying away from the ton because he decided long ago he did not wish to get married and have children. Unfortunately f...

Vaguely disappointed by this book. It's been complimented in other reviews of Kleypas' work, and I did laugh out loud a few times; however, I fail to see the problem with not having children (love & validation can, indeed, be found elsewhere) and what's-her-names actions towards that end were fairly...

I have no idea why it took me so long to read this one. It's short, but I think I kept getting sidetracked by other things and I'd forget about the book. Strange, I know given how much I liked this book!I really like the Bridgertons as a family, although I am wondering why the series starts with Dap...

I decided to re-read the Bridgerton saga, after I-don't-know-how-many-years. Actually, I have never read the sisters' stories, only the brothers'. And I remember Colin has always been my favorite, reason why I re-read his story not long ago.If all the sisters' stories are like Daphne's, I guess I di...

It's okay to rape your husband. (Source: Chapter 18 onwards.)Up until this chapter The Duke and I was on the road to four stars. Four and not five because of:➜ Anthony's behaviour after witnessing his friend's mouth on his sister's chest in the garden of a house party, challenging his FRIEND to a du...

This book reminded me a lot of one TV series - Gossip girl, with the secret author who knows everything about everyone but no one knows who she is. I liked this one, it was very enjoyable, but nothing extraordinary or special either.

A cute story, but not amazing. I didn't love the main characters (though I adored the mother and Colin), I felt their love might've been a bit rush, and there were much too many 'Oh, Simon!' for my liking...Nicely written, just not incredible. I will read the rest of the books when I have the opport...

I'm really glad I didn't start with this Julia Quinn novel, because I can pretty much guarantee that I would never have read another. It starts out well enough. Simon is a bit of a cliche (brooding with daddy issues) but Daphne seems charming enough. But then they have to get married and well...I...

"Save your pathetic words," Anthony spat. "I'll see you at dawn."Please let there be a duel. Pleeeeaaasssse let there be a duel.One sec, flipping the page. *pause* Damn...no duel."I've always known that I wasn't the sort of woman men dream of, but I never thought anyone would prefer death to marriag...
