"But allow me to warn youâ�"even if you do not choose to attend the tonâ��s events, they will find you.â��
With the unknown Lady Whistledown's gossip the tying ribbon, these three Julia Quinn regencies are a lot of fun! I might just have to take them out again and re-read them, and that says a lot for the author IMHO. Highly Recommended 5/5

A fun start to the series
After watching the show, I knew I wanted to pick this up. It was cute, and I like the Bridgerton family dynamics. I didn�t like how Simon or Daphne handled their feelings about having children and the lies and sketchy behavior around it. I won�t say more to avoid spoiling but I think they were both very unfair to each other and to the relationship. The rest of the story I enjoyed and it was a quick read and I�m going to move on to the next one.

Disappointing
I must first say that I am a great fan of a well written Regency romance, and having started in my early days by reading the entire works of Georgette Heyer I have high standards as regards the quality of the storytelling and the style and language used in setting the scene and evoking the feeling of the Regency era.
I have to say that although the basic storyline was quite good, Julia Quinn failed to create a convincing cast of characters. Her use of modern English or even worse modern American idiom was jarring and also very annoying, how lazy can she be as a writer not to use language and terminology appropriate to that time.
Although writing a romance nowadays is far more sexually explicit , and most readers would expect and enjoy these scenes( myself included) I found that overall I was annoyed and disappointed with this book. And as she has written quite a few in this series I was also disappointed that I will not now be reading any more of them!
I will keep looking to find a writer who can create a more engaging and believable set of characters.

Good Book
I expected this book to be good when I bought it and once again I wasn't disapointed. Not only is Julia Quinn a good writer but it seems like every book in the "Avon Romance" line is great. Its not a book that you'll read once and put down, you'll read it again and again. Buy it!
