Bridgerton: The Duke and I

Bridgerton Family, Book 1

De: Julia Quinn

Narrado por: Rosalyn Landor

The first novel in Julia Quinn's worldwide best-selling Bridgerton novels, now a series created by Shonda Rhimes for Netflix. This is the story of Daphne Bridgerton and the Duke: welcome to the ballrooms of Regency London.....

Can there be any greater challenge to London's Ambitious Mamas than an unmarried duke? Lady Whistledown's Society Papers, April 1813.

By all accounts, Simon Basset is on the verge of proposing to his best friend's sister, the lovely - and almost-on-the-shelf - Daphne Bridgerton. But the two of them know the truth - it's all an elaborate plan to keep Simon free from marriage-minded society mothers. And as for Daphne, surely she will attract some worthy suitors now that it seems a duke has declared her desirable....

Their ruse works like a charm - at first. But as Daphne waltzes across ballroom after ballroom with Simon, it's hard to remember that their courtship is a complete sham. Maybe it's his devilish smile, certainly it's the way his eyes seem to burn every time he looks at her. It wasn't the plan, but it seems she's falling for the duke, for real. And amidst the glittering, gossipy, cut-throat world of London's elite, there is only one certainty: love ignores every rule....

"Quinn is a master of historical romance." (Entertainment Weekly)

Incredible performance

It was a thoroughly enjoyable reading. Lively and funny, with lovable characters. The expert narration makes It all even better.

The narrator is lovely !!

I loved the narrators voice and way of reading is very pleasant to listen. No more words needed.

Delightful!!

Although I really enjoyed the Netflix series of The Bridgertons, the audio book was just so much more. Rosalyn Landor's narration was phenomenal and had me hanging on her lips throughout. This story is really good and entertaining and I loved it!

enjoyed it

Narrower focus on just the main characters than the Netflix series. I did enjoy it and some very comical moments. Another difference to the Netflix series is that the characters are more likeable. Netflix villianised many events and personality traits, this version seems more like things would actually play out in the real world

Lovely book and such an amazing read. The narration made it even more enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this book, more than I thought I would. The characters are so well written and relatable. I really loved the how descriptive the author in certain chapters, you feel like you're right there with characters. Just magnificent!

Thumbs up

I love the actions from Rosalyn, is so relaxing her voice. The story is great, easy to relax with

It is enjoyable

I liked it more than the Netflix series. However, the series helped me pictured all the characters.

Smiled the whole way through

I loved this book. The characters are written very well and all have there own personalities. I was smiling and feeling embarrassed through out the book. How society has changed, how the everyday was so different, women couldn’t be out and about without an escort. I loved the storyline and how the relationship between the Duke and Daphne developed. The whole Bridgerton family was a hoot. It was very much worth a read.

captivating

I really loved this awesome price of work...it's soo much realistic like you're seeing a movie!. thanks Rosalyn Landor! I really and specially had no difficulty in listen through the whole time. you're a GEM Julia Quinn

Loved it!

Loved it. The narrator is especially great. The conflict is resolved a bit too quickly, but otherwise it's great. Full of great, engaging characters.
