About this listen
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....

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.

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!

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.

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

I have listened to the Bridgerton series and really enjoyed them. Compared to those titles this story falls short. I would not recommend it.
