Story
In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours. Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent… not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she, and her King, needed. Because George has secrets… secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.

And if his birth proves to be legitimate, then he will find himself with the one title he never wanted: Duke of Wyndham.

And so she's vowed to break the rules and live the life of pleasure she's been missing. But to dance every dance, to steal a midnight kiss - to do those things, Callie will need a willing partner.

Publisher's 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 and 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....
Featured Article: The Bridgertons Audiobooks in Chronological Order
In a fictional Regency-era London, the Bridgerton and the Featherington families depend on the marriages of their many children. Bridgertons has won over the hearts of millions, and Julia Quinn has likened the series to "a Cinderella story." Shonda Rhimes adapted the series of romance novels into the hugely popular Bridgerton Netflix series. Although a different character inspires each volume of the series, it’s best to enjoy the saga chronologically.

Overall really Good but Wanted More!
Overall I loved the storyline, but I really wish there had been 2 or 3 more chapters . Andrew’s reaction to the engagement… what happened to the package? Perhaps some more steamy encounters. I was left wanting more.
Narrator was brilliant as always.

Light Hearted Entertainment
A pleasant listen. Don't expect historical accuracy in speech as modern phrases slide in here and there. Don't expect to have to think hard or be surprised at any turn of events, but overall entertaining and pleasant. A soothing series of romantic happy endings that start with this first installment. Lovely and light hearted. Narrator is wonderful in how she intones the different characters. Her voice is pleasant and soothing. Better written than many historical romances out there. enjoy!

I must admit Georgiana and Nicholas story is probably the only bridgerton/Roksbey story that isn’t my favourite. But this one is for sure my favourite along with Edward and Andrew’s story. It’s such a great listen
