Sinossi
Londra, 1813. Simon Arthur Henry Fitzranulph Basset, nuovo duca di Hastings ed erede di uno dei titoli più antichi e prestigiosi d'Inghilterra, è uno scapolo assai desiderato. A dire il vero, è letteralmente perseguitato da schiere di madri dell'alta società che farebbero di tutto pur di combinare un buon matrimonio per le loro fanciulle in età da marito. E Simon, sempre alquanto riluttante, è in cima alla lista dei loro interessi. Anche la madre di Daphne Bridgerton è indaffaratissima e intende trovare il marito perfetto per la maggiore delle sue figlie femmine, che ha già debuttato in società da un paio d'anni e che rischia di rimanere - Dio non voglia! - zitella. Assillati ciascuno a suo modo dalle ferree leggi del "mercato matrimoniale", Daphne e Simon, vecchio amico di suo fratello Anthony, escogitano un piano: si fingeranno fidanzati e così saranno lasciati finalmente in pace. Ciò che non hanno messo in conto è che, ballo dopo ballo, conversazione dopo conversazione, ricordarsi che quanto li lega è solo finzione diventerà sempre più difficile. Quella che era iniziata come una recita sembra proprio trasformarsi in realtà. Una realtà tremendamente ricca di passione e coinvolgimento.

Okay here we go. I read this because it's my friend's favorite and she wanted me to give it a go. I think it's important to try new things because I've fallen in love with genres this way. Unfortunately, I really didn't like this, and here's why: What I liked: - The build up for this romance was reall Leggi tutto
why would you ruin a perfectly good romance with a rape scene. just because it was a guy doesn’t mean it’s not rape!!!! hoping the creators of the netflix adaptation uh change that
This review is dedicated to my dear friend (haha) Navessa who was thoughtful enough to challenge me to read this book. (view spoiler)[Did you people seriously think I would willingly chose to read something like this? Are you insane? (hide spoiler)] My name is Sarah and I'm a survivor . Yes I am. Because I have done it . I have read Leggi tutto
review posted on Got Fiction? Books 2.5 A lot of my GR buddies love this book, and a few have recommended it to me. So I ordered it, and up until a certain part in the end, I really was enjoying it. I won't feel bad about the spoilers in here, because this is an older book, and a ton of people have rea Leggi tutto
I never thought that I could have a whole book spoiled for me by one action, but this book proved that I could. What's so irritating about this is that I was enjoying the book. I liked the character's amusing dialogue and the friendship the developed. Things did start to go a bit downhill for me when Leggi tutto
Instagram || Twitter || Facebook || Amazon || Pinterest I think it's been a while since I've seen such an even split among my friends when it comes to how they rated the book. Half my friends loved THE DUKE AND I and the other half apparently hated it. The Bridgertons series is Julia Quinn's most
“Can there be any greater challenge to London’s Ambitious Mamas than an unmarried duke?” Well my Mama refused to find me a duke, even though she is desperate to see me settled down (apparently, I am a spinster at the ripe age of 24). In fact, she laughed at the idea, and then started her
Disappointed. Actually, disappointed doesn't even begin to describe it. *Unpopular opinion time* Once upon a time, I wasn't into historical romance. I thought they were silly and anti-women, and I wasn't even interested in trying them. Thankfully, I discovered historical romances by Tessa Dare and Cou Leggi tutto
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 Leggi tutto
Słaby romans historyczny o wzajemnym pogwałcaniu swoich cielesnych praw. Nie, dziękuję.
