Fresh Fiction Review

Because of Miss Bridgerton
Julia Quinn

Romance Historical

No one could be more excited when I learned that Julia Quinn was going to be return to writing about the Bridgetons. The Bridgerton series is by far my favorite series of hers, and I always find myself returning to reread them so saying I was excited about getting more stories about this family is an understatement.

In this brand new series, Quinn gifts her loyal readers with a treat as Billie Bridgerton finds her HEA with one of the Rokesby men. As family friends, the Rokesby men have all been expected to marry Billie, and she seems find with the idea until things start blooming between her and George, the one brother that Billie doesn't seem to get along with.

As the family antics start to get out of control, George and Billie find themselves getting closer. You can expect the same great banter Quinn is known for in BECAUSE OF MISS BRIDGERTON. Each character is brimming with personality so it's easy to fall in love with her characters but I think it's Billie's adventurous side that made this book so delicious.

Quinn takes her time introducing the several new characters to readers. I have to say that there is something alluring about each of them. However, apart from George and Billie, Andrew Rokesbys was the one that held my attention the most.

This new series definitely has the same feel of the Bridgertons, but the new set of characters brings new life to Quinn's writing. I'm so happy Quinn has decided to write more about families. I have no doubt the Rokesbys will soon join the Bridgertons as a reader favorite.

SUMMARY

Sometimes you find love in the most unexpected of places...

This is not one of those times.

Everyone expects Billie Bridgerton to marry one of the Rokesby brothers. The two families have been neighbors for centuries, and as a child the tomboyish Billie ran wild with Edward and Andrew. Either one would make a perfect husband... someday.

Sometimes you fall in love with exactly the person you think you should...

Or not.

There is only one Rokesby Billie absolutely cannot tolerate, and that is George. He may be the eldest and heir to the earldom, but he's arrogant, annoying, and she's absolutely certain he detests her. Which is perfectly convenient, as she can't stand the sight of him, either.

But sometimes fate has a wicked sense of humor...

Because when Billie and George are quite literally thrown together, a whole new sort of sparks begins to fly. And when these lifelong adversaries finally kiss, they just might discover that the one person they can't abide is the one person they can't live without...
